Awful custom C2

Further evidence that "because I can" is never a good reason...

I guess the word "improvements" is used loosely in the title

I am sincerely convinced it's useless arguing about taste, but I admit this one is a serious test to that conviction

Now, if the guy who built it likes it, as will do the one who buys it, my hurt feelings don't matter...

Oh, while I am here, I'm working on a 64

Certainly an acquired taste. The rear looks like it was grafted from a Camaro.

Yep, that's pretty ugly. Reminds me of a recent story. I met a guy two weeks ago; he lives less than 3 miles from me here in Madison. He's owned a '64 roadster for 35 years and has not driven it since 1984 because it's so ugly (his words not mine). The owner before him put a new nose on, removing the headlight buckets and installing headlights in the front fenders, making it look a little like a mid 60s Jaguar. The turn signal housing were shaved off and the turn signals were bolted into where the grill used to be. I went to see the car last week out of curiosity. It was like discovering a barn find, the Vette was over in a corner of his garage, covered with boxes, tools, dust and grime. Even though it is a matching numbers car, that front end is pretty ugly. He wants to put a stock appearing front clip on it so he can get it back on the road.

Beautiful work of art. I especially like the Camaro taillights. Designed in the spirit of the C7.

The front, i could live with. The rear, well, not so much.... If you want a car that looks like a '69 Camaro, buy a '69 Camaro
