Are you replacing it with another C7 John? Perhaps a Z06?

Nice! I can't wait to see what you end up doing with that, as I'm sure it won't be stock for very long!

Are you using GM body panels for the wide body conversion or are they of your own fabrication? Looks like a sweet project though

It's amazing how you can take an already very nice car and interior, and make it THAT much better. Your work is unbelievable. Please keep us updated with photos on this project. And ESPECIALLY on your Z06.

John, you should start an Instagram account with updates, you would get so many subscribers!
