It's almost hard to comment because they look so natural. I have to look at a stock vette just to see how different they are. I think they fit right in with the C3 lines. Tailights are pretty cool too. They would like real good on GrandSportC3's car and go along with his GrandSport theme.

Can you buy these fins ready to bond on - or do I have to make them myself ?

I think they look good - but hard to notice much difference when casually looking.

Second look: :cool: :cool:

It looks as though the side gill openings have been covered, too.

I've seen that picture before in a book, and I'm pretty sure that's actually a clay model from the design stages of the third gen body, for those who were wondering where the gas cap is...

The fins look great. I also like the triple tail lights. It is kind of a nice link back to the 67 :thumbs:

i dig em. '67-6 tail lights? i may be mistaken, but i thought all midyear/sharks had 4. i personally would like to see a mod that has only 1 tail light per side. so you shave the innermost 2 basically.

Now you can really see the difference! It looks cool as do the taillights. It gives it a longer, more fast-back kinda look. :cool:

Steve,
What exactly is your car? I think it started life as a C2 but you put a partial early c3 front, the rear window of an early c3 and part of the rear of an early c3???

Sure suckered Enzo in Modena didnt it? Quite like the tail light idea though,didnt a few people do this conversion for real around 69-71 i seem to remember someting in Hot rod around this time or was it Motion? No gas cap,well if photo was shot at Nellis A.FB. that would explain a lot i guess.The fins ,im 50/50 on this A nice statement though. :cool:
