One of my favorite stripes on a vette. Takes me back to the glory days when Hinez was tearing them up at the 24 Hr's of Daytona & Sebring! Way cool. Glenn

Got a kick out of his NCRS sticker...he has a load in that 454...sounds really healthy....
I wanted a 71-72, but, the thought of modifying it, or putting too many miles on it just seemed "wrong".[to me]. to each is own.
I bought a 81 with the intent of re-doing the car my way and driving as many miles a possible.
Make it your car, mine doesn't even have stock body, let alone motor trans interior etc...
When someone tells me I would never do that if I had a car like that, i simply tell them to go get themselves a car like that and I'll support them in whatever avenue they take. Modding a vette is sort of like tatoos, people that have tatoos or modded vette's don't care if you don't have tats or if your vette isn't modded. However it seams to be quite the opposite with the "purists"-if you do something to your car that isn't factory it almost seems like a cardinal sin to some of them.
I like a little customizing on my vettes. Makes them "different". The later C3 design lines are absolutely great alone, but like everything else...they CAN be improved on a bit. This one has the Ecklers "LT" front air dam and discontinued Ecklers "Daytona street bumper" glassed in. I think next...if I keep it a while more, I'm going to add GS stripes and hash marks.

Reason: Add a thought.
I like it as far from stock as possible mechanically yet keeping the appearance somewhat original, don't mind flares but I'm not fond of spoilers or other decorations. Clean & simple, functionality rules.

The effort was well worth the finished product. VERY, VERY nicely done vette you have. Did you do the body mods, or have to pay someone, or maybe got lucky enough to find one you liked already done by someone who wanted to go to a new project. The latter is the cheapest way to do it, but a bit less satisfying to us who beat on ourselves.
