there's a few mini tub kits out for the C5, since you're handy with fiberglass i'm suprised you didn't go that route.

Since I'm handy with fiberglass, I figured I'd build something nobody else has built. With the paint job I'll be doing after I'm all done, the paint, the flares, the wheels and of course my interior will all be in harmony and the stance will be just right . . . IMHO.

I can't wait to build and show ya'll what I have floating around in my head.

I wish I was further along on the stereo project too, but my front tires are going bald, and I can't drive around with the rear tires sticking out that much, so I gotta get the flares done 1st.

The internet and this forum have really changed things, now you can watch other projects get done from all over the world

Back to the garage . . .
