Huh - another cheap C3 in my neck of the woods.
You guys are tough.
OK - put a 73 tilt nose on a 78 vette ... the door gaps may be off.
Actually, it looks like the door can be adjusted forward - too tight in the back.
Correction .. looks more like a chrome bumper front end - shaved down.
I like the nose, even though I don't like fixed headlights.

Come on don't be so hard on the seller..at least he armor all'd the top radiator hose and put the high tech blue vacum tubing on the car..must have been some of the "new" parts added as mentioned earlier! :lolg:

I think the hose clamp for the hot water shut off valve is just a little on the big side. :yesnod:

Woah cool, im going to be doing the same thing in a matter of weeks, just waiting for my one piece front end to come in from florida, except im planning on putting my headlights under where the grilles would normally be. Go easy on him, give the guy some credit, not exactly the easiest mod. :chevy

I wasn't really picking on the flip-front end, I think it's kinda cool. In fact I'd love to see one up close.:cheers:
I wasn't very impressed by the enigine work/detailing however. I would never pick on anyone with a true passion for working on their Corvette. After all if you own a Corvette you can't be all that bad huh? :confused:
Sometimes we just need to see the humorous side.... :D :thumbs:
