So excited to start seeing all the modifications on this thing and can't wait to see it done! The fact that it was a flood car was the best donor for building a drift car. Just a lot of cleaning and throwing away a lot of the stuff you weren't going to use anyway!
That panel bond adhesive is tough stuff. 3m makes some strong stuff not sure if that's what brand the c8 uses. Some modern adhesives are just as strong as welds and even used in some high end racecars.
Cant wait to see the C8 go full racecar :D All of the factory electronics/transaxle have really been holding everyone back. What transaxle are you planning for it?
I would think Any lambo gallardo grazziano type manual transmission should fit back there with the c8 having that trunk area. It’s what I would try anyway or maybe ford GT but I know those are more expensive. Those grazzy trans axles get used for slc kit cars a lot I know they sell them still.
@@_Gh0st777_ Uhhhhhh, why not open the motor up? it could be salvageable. and if it is then rebuilding it and selling it would net quite a pretty penny...
@@derekcraig3617 Agreed. Why scrap a 490 HP all aluminum V8? If able to dismantle the car, should have the talent to tear down, clean, and reassemble the engine with new rings, bearings, gaskets & seals.
You guys should have a conversation with Ms.Emelia about assembly/ disassembly, motor, performance upgrades and companies she worked with to develop for that C8 platform
This may be the best UA-cam build this year. Can’t wait to see a rear engine drift car done right
Flooded P1 rebuild is #1, imo this is #2,
Best build on UA-cam right now.
Enjoying the hell out of this build can't wait to see what it becomes
UA-cam never shows Matt's videos I always have to go look for them, definitely turning on all notifications
So much box tubes on the chassis. Straight up racecar.
This is one of the coolest builds on UA-cam ! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’m so stoked to see this come together!
Bro, use “we” more.
You keep saying “I” but your team is a big part.
Love ya and can’t wait to see this be your 2024 FD car….
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Good to see it clean finally :D

This is the build I’m most excited for on all of the interwebs.
I'm looking forward to the first drag C8.
I’m excited for this c8 content
Super neat
Pretty wild!
Great work Matt! Can’t wait to see the final product! SEMA 2023?
I like it matt... in the last video I said it was to short, and you delivered 👌🏼 please keep the videos longer 👍🏻👍🏻
LOVE IT!!!
Cant wait to see what i think should be appropriately named as you guys were joking "Lea King" become the first drift c8
This is one car I can’t wait to see finished drifting 😊
love it!!!!!
Stoked for this thing!
This rules! Can't wait to see it rippin, but here for the journey.
Super excited for this build!
Love that séries cant wait too see the 1st drift test
Loving this series
Flood damage is serious!
So much progress already with this build! We love to see it, keep it up!
Matt’s Filipino accent is hilarious 😂. You’re not from the bay if you don’t have some Filipino homies

Woooo another Monday with Matt! Can't wait to see how this turns out. What gearbox you gonna run with?
Once you had it cleaned out... it was so much better looking, that it almost looks like you had potential to put it back together and flip it lol

As far as a trans Mendeola makes a 4 spd sequential mid engine high horsepower transaxle.
Next time put some baby powder on your arms before working on the fiberglass or carbon. Helps avoid the itchy feeling
#tjhunt need to give matt wide bodykit for this c8
What are the long term plans with this car. What engine and are you building it for fd?
Is it going to be the first front engine manual C8?
fuckkk yea! this series gets me hard as shit lfg!!
Is that a Leh Keen reference at 7:52? lol
im sooo curious because my c7 was in the same flooding
What transmission setup will be used?
Why does this car have a transmission tunnel? Front engine conversion?
Stores the batteries for the electric motors on the E-Ray Model.
Bristol 1000???
Sorry I'm late, it probably will happen again.
not clickbait real life ninja turtle disassembles corvette
why not rebuild the motor and either sell it or use it in this build?
Kinda useless to rebuild the motor when it’s toast since it was underwater plus Matt is most likely gonna have a Texas Speed built for it.

Three long videos and nothing has happened.
Like to buy engine and transmission
bruh hold the damn camera still lol im getting dizzy
Great work on car, horrible camera work
Yeah, its ruined. But it was a Corvette to begin with, so do it up! Who cares?
please get a carbon streethunter widebody kit it would be so so sick
From what I've heard, the aliexpress stuff fits better than streethunter. I'm sure there's better options.
