1963 Corvette Stingray LED Fridge Magnet

LED lighted Corvette Stingray Fridge Magnet recycled from a pair of KIDS SNEAKERS (LED part) and a recycled HARD DRIVE MAGNET!

Step 1 Get a kids sneaker (the ones with LEDs that flicker when shaken)

Have you ever seen those cool sneakers for kids that light LEDs when they walk? Well, when they outgrow them (which seems to happen overnight) don't toss them in the landfill! Get a sharp knife, be careful, and cut upen the sneaker- extracting the LED
module, wires, and LEDs. DO NOT CUT WIRES! If you do you just have to re-attach them.

Great instructible!  The corvette pictured is a 1963 split-window though.  First and only year they were made like that. :)

1964 had a split window coupe too!

You are correct. My mistake, I mistook the solid rear window of the '64 as a split window. The Genuine Corvette Black Book 1953-1984 has all the stats. Thanks for your input.

I am also a huge fan of the corvette and own The Complete Book of Corvette. It also has every conceivable factoid about them. I absolutely love this book and the cars themselves! :P

Regarding step four - are you saying you were a member of Prefab Sprout??

[triumphman]

Yea, that's me on the Triumph Bonneville, with something warm stuck on my back!

Gosh.

Corvette's are my favorite cars, and the Stingray's are AWESOME too.
