The Ruin's of Midyear C2 63-67.

IMO the C2 design was "perfection" back in the days when tires and wheels were narrower. But nowadays even family sedans run with wider tires. So I'd keep the lines of the C2 body, and then widen the fenders carefully so that wider tires/wheels can be put on.

While these abominations might seem like sacrilege today, these customizations probably kept many wrecked, stripped or worn out cars out of the junk yard...

This is definitely (or defiantly) over the top.

Yes, it is my opinion. But I will give yours a pass, at least you left the body lines original. Stripes, wheels and tires, 67 hood and the side cove mods aren't bad at all. I can take yours. I'm talking about the hacked bodys.

I'd guess based on 'Body Modification", I'd qualify as the person that 'Hacks" a C2 Body. Some of the "Hacks" being willingness to integrate styling from other Generations of Corvettes on to a C2's classic body design.
The "Hacks" for me are "Art", while some agree, I'm sure there are others that look at what I do as "Abominations/Frankenstein" creations.
This is the Beefcake Male Body Flared version of a C2.
This is the Trans-gendered Female Body Flared version of a C2.

I think we are a bit intolerant of past decades - a lot of those cars were 'hot stuff' back in the day...

Pretty sure .......I almost bought this car before the ruin . Sad and undetermined what caused the fire ... but he was going through a divorce.
