Still not washed.





I realize not everyone is going to like this car. It is not perfect and was built on a budget but has been a blast (and frustrating) to work on and will probably continue to change.

That is so cool. I like it. Maybe this should have been the transfer into
1968, the blend of the C2 and C3. You did a great job with mixing the
two generation together. You will have a lot of people wondering what
year that is, I think your going to have alot of attention when ever the
public sees this cool ride.

Thanks for sharing,

Riggs.

I love this project. You have done a wonderful job. I think many C3 owners may want to copy your example.

WOW!!! Looks awesome. I don't care for the C1 or C2 vette styling but your awesome vision and hard work came together nicely.

Congrats!!! Looks like it could be a strong contender for a retro-desgin similar to the new Camaro blending in the best of the C2 and C3 lines together.

Congratulations---that car looks great. I have read and reread this thread several times over the years to the point I feel I have something invested in this also. You had me and others I am sure early on with the rear stance pics. I admire that you stuck it out and saw this through. There is nothing about this that I don't like.

You are very talented, the way you combined the two generations is tastefully done. You should be very proud of your work.

Wow, been watching this thread for 2+ years. If you described this car to me on paper, I'd hate it, but somehow it works. Great job! Have you gotten it on the road yet?

Very nice! I had been watching your thread and like how it turned out. You are going to have more than one person scratching there head wondering what year it is.

Thanks for all of the compliments. This forum is great and the car is far more sorted than it would have been without all of you.
