What is that pinch line near the bottom of the front fender? It's just under the scoop area next to the tire. Is it just a wierd angle of photo, or was that a designed body line for something?
I agree with the others on the headlight. First thing I thought when you posted the picture, was to get rid of the Toyota wording.

That crease was made intentionally to match the sideskirts that were made. Once I put them back on and install the fenders then I will retake the photo so you can see it.

Subscribed... You can spec those Eibach's with stiffer springs so you can ditch the leafs. Zero point in doing coilovers where you keep the leaf springs. Personally, I run LG G2s on my race car.

I also received my GT Wing stands from Tway Motorsports. Love the product. Would highly recommend. I will have to modify it a bit but its an awesome platform to build from at a great cost.
My driver personally picked it up from Tim's place and he offered his knowledge to run a 71" APR Wing to compliment them. I'm definetely going to take his advice since he's been racing his c5 professionally years before I even started this build.
Now let's see what will happen next.

Dude, I love what you're doing with this car! Not all your choices are my style, but that's not the point. I love that you're taking a Vette into the car world you're in. I'm older than you, but younger than probably most of the people on this forum. I wish Vettes were an affordable option back when I had the time and money to modify the crap out of a car. It's great seeing younger people in this hobby and I hope your build inspires more young people to use the Corvette as their platform. You should make the trip out to Corvettes at Carlisle. If not this year, at least once the car is done!
Good luck with the rest of your build.

Front fenders have finally been finished!
After weeks and weeks of head scratching, cussing, throwing objects, and debates. They have finally reached its desired outcome.
I spent probably about 3-4 months planning these out while the car was being built and this is what it came from it. I pulled most of my inspiration from the C5R. The extended and opened vent adds so much to the illusion of the build.
THEY ARE NOT BOLTED DOWN IN THE PICTURE.

He posted a pic of it on instagram a couple weeks ago. Apparently his shop had gotten really busy and he didn't have time to work on it. But then he posted he was going to Japan for a few weeks for work. So I would guess it's going to be a while until he gets back and gets caught up before he has time to work on it again.
