#PBsRetroRestorations #BacktotheFuture #CorvetteC7Z06
On the bench today is a Hot Wheels Corvette C7 Z06. It’s going to get a total makeover and if all goes well, should be recognizable, but barely, at the end of this video!
This is my submission for my online friend Peter Button’s 4th YouTube anniversary. Peter hosts the very excellent PB’s Retro Restorations channel. He’s invited the community to celebrate with him on a Corvette theme.

The Chevrolet Corvette (C7) is the seventh generation of the Corvette sports car manufactured by Chevrolet from 2014 until 2019. Mid-engine and rear-engine layouts had been considered, but the front mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive platform was chosen to keep costs lower. The racing variants include the C7.R, which won the GTLM 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The C7's LT1 6.2L small block V-8 engine put out 460 hp. The 2014 Corvette features a carbon fibre hood and removable roof panel. Its fenders, doors, and rear quarter panels remain fiberglass composite.

Back to the Future is the wildly popular 1985 American scifi comedy film starring Canadian Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson and Crispin Glover. Set in 1985, it follows teenager Marty McFly who’s accidentally sent back to 1955 in a time-traveling DeLorean built by his eccentric scientist friend Doc Brown. His mission is to make sure his paretns fall in love, ensuring his own existence, and somehow get back to the future.

FYI: All of the Maple Leaf Customs finished projects that are kid-friendly are put in custom blister packs and go to my local Goodwill store where they are given to children for free. If there are parts that can be swallowed, those cars are given as gifts to adult collectors that are fellow enthusiasts.
