Awesome, isnt that the car you posted about building awhile back requesting chops, etc. Show us more.


Edit: More I look at it, the more I absolutely love what ou did with the windshield rake and glass in general. Clean, updated yet still very subtle. Classy and badass at the same time. .

Looks a little weird from the side, but overall, nice work.

I think it's a little funny from the side because the windshield has so much more rake than the Stingray. If you extended the hood scoop so it came closer to the windshield (and maybe the other rear edges of the hood too) it would be more congruous (sp?).

Overall, it's a killer car and possibly a great step forward in what you can do with a C4. I'm sure you're real proud of the results.

I agree...over 4000 hrs. to get to this point...wipers require the hood to be as is or raise hood which is higher already than I wanted....

Well done!

Can we see one without the top on it. I think that will make it look much better. JMO.

Otherwise that is some serious work and craftsmanship that went into that car. You should be very proud

That would require a sawzall at this stage in the project...

Anyhow the midsection of the car looks like its begging for chrome.

Can you cram sidepipes in there? The front part would be a fake heatshield, the rear could be the actual exhaust.

The next one will have sidepipes...this one gets custom made aluminized rocker plates due in soon which should really help the huge
C4 "dipunder" in that area and draw the chrome rallys together...
prototypes looked pretty good...course everything is a huge compromise on a project like this where the goal is not to imitate but update to a newer configuration with strong ties to the original...though we are nowhere compareable, or anywhere near as good, the coming new camaro has strong ties to the 69 in my humble opinion...and that was the design goal of Chevrolet...If by some chance our car comes out looking like a similar lineage, I will be happy....Thanks for the comments and keep them coming...Dave

If you could square the side windows a little bit, I think it would flow a little better.
