Default has anyone seen my vette?

just wondering if anyone has ever seen a kit like this, especially the front end. ive contacted greenwood and they are basically "stumped" to use their words (but still very helpful and courteous). im new here and it says i cant post attachments, but its the car im using as an avatar. thanks!

Sure you can post, but you have to use something like www.photobucket.com

Can't see it too well. Looks like Eckler's square light conversion kit and a Pace Car front spoiler. Don't know what going on with the grills.



Evansville? I used to have kinfolk in Haubstadt and Princeton.

Picture doesn't show enough of the body to tell, but it just looks like Eckler body panels glued on and a garden-variety square headlight conversion and filled in bumper seam. I dont think its a kit.

Get a photobucket account, upload, copy and paste the IMG link. Anybody can post pictures.

this is an ecklers kit. but it isnt the typical can am kit. this kit features the "race sized panels." they are a little wider than the ones on normal can am's like mine



yo can see that mine isnt as wide as yours



hope this helps
