its not bad i dont like the headlights. but on the other hand i cant see how you could drive it unless you are short. I am to tall for my 75 and when the t-top is out my head is above the post a little bit. They chopped the roof on that thing so i cant imagine how low you sit inside or how much you would hang out of the top.

You know after watching " Corvette Summer" the other night on the
Speed Channel,, This one almost looks stock,
Hideous, in a likeable kind of way, like a Shelby Corvette,

This is one on the few custom paint jobs I've seen that makes the rear of a C3 look better. I'm not crazy about the headlights either. Look like the B-M Phase III along with the fuel filler.

I like it, except the headlights. It would make a great show car. I'm short so the roof line would fit me just right - unless they lowered the seats then I would have a tough time.
