The front end is hideous- hard to look at kind of like Prodigy a few years back.
Hard to believe they swapped one of the most pleasing and classic interiors of any American can for one of the most instantly dated.
Lots of love went into it and I CAN appreciate that but it’s not for me.
You can see that what some people want is the classic styling of the early year Corvettes with some modern technology and comfort so where is the design engineers of GM ? There are aftermarket companies building these cars so why not the original creator ?
I love the car, and if I bought it, that God awful 3rd tail light would be removed immediatly!! To each their own, but I'll take my corvette without the Impala sprinkles on it.
I couldn't disagree with you more ! I am one that always hated any body alterations on the classic corvettes except for that one . I think GM got that one so wrong and it should have been figured into their original design , then you would have loved it . I always thought the stock design was too plain for a corvette . Would fit more with a Camaro .
I love the idea of putting your own ideas and personality into the build. If you walked by it would turn your head and then you's stand there like, "wait, what, I'll be damned".
I still can't stand those tires that have 2" sidewalls!!!!
Extremely well done with an incredible amount of time spent to pull off such an extensive project...……..but I agree the grille is a miss,
I'm usually very difficult to convince when it comes to restomods and assimilated "new cars in vintage clothing" productions, but this is nice (at the exception of the grille).
I’m waiting patiently for the “hooptee” 20” wheels to go out of style. They look horrible.
I've been waiting somewhat impatiently for rap/hip-hop music to go out of style. I've been waiting for 31 years. Still waiting. No luck yet. Ghetto culture has been 'in' since the '80's, and our society is now reflecting it along with its values....not a good thing.

To the naysayers, we'd love to see your custom creations. Please post them so we can see how it should be done.
I for one enjoy the fact that you don't have to excel at something to be allowed to voice your taste or opinion. As long as the comment is in the line of "I don't like it" and not "it's crap", I have no problem at all.
I don't see where they widened the car? Am I missing something?
That in and of itself is the essence of the success of this car. It's not easy to modify an iconic shape like a midyear Vette and stump even those with sharp eyes.
Look at the space between the headlights. Car was widened on each side of the stinger. Not easy to do with all of the compound curves at the windshield, roof and rear deck. Wish I could get photos of the build in progress.

Regardless of our opinions on the "big" wheels I don't think they're going away anytime soon as long as the world class sports cars are running 15" rotors.
LOOKS LIKE A MID LIFE Crisis to me.......gone wrong
That's fine. You or I or anyone else does not have to like it for what ever reason but it can still be appreciated for the overall effort and craftsmanship.
