My name is Bill Jongbloed, founder of Jongbloed Modular Wheels(now retired) and you can tell that my C-4 Corvette is different than the norm. Mine is what I call the Aerotek Corvette and sports not just my handmade wheels but also bodywork. I was actually trained in aerodynamics, not wheels and in fact while working as a race mechanic in Formula 5000 decades ago I made a bet over a case of beer with a friend that I could build better wheels than were then available. Yes I won the bet and now that I am retired, having always loved the C-4 I decided to use my aero knowledge to make C-4 body parts that actually were functional, as my motto has always been form follows function! What you see is the result if my putting my aerodynamic knowledge to work on my personal C-4. I make the Aerotec nose, bonnet, flairs and wing assembly and now am building a 4 wheel air shock system for those who would like to be able to raise the entire car to go up into a steep driveway or in my case drive over a semi rough dirt road. All these parts come out of my own molds and are hand laid up fiberglass and they contribute to my C-4 weighing in at 2900 pounds. At high speed my nose and rear wing also squat the car as the are designed to be a balance one another.  Not bad and yes the engine is an all alloy 405 inch small block filled with all the right parts attached to a Tremac 5 speed.

Happy hot rodding:):):)
