Saw your original posts discussing the concept a few months back. Congrats on moving the concept forward, and quickly. My hats off to the vision, skil and effort. Looking forward along with everyone else to seeing the progression to finish.

Dare to be different...

All I can say is I like what I see so far. Can't wait to see it when it is finished. Based on what I see you are going to have one hell of a car. I have to give you a lot of credit for what you are trying to do. Keep us posted.

Geez I'm really surprised at the positive responses you have gotten!!! I commend you for the vision and obvious hard work but I don't think I like the look of it.This is the first time I've seen this thread so maybe it will grow on me.
Keep up the work.

I got one sail panel done and the other one ready to bond and filler but it has been too cold and rainy to finish it. I played with the bodylines in photoshop since the weather isn't permitting me to work on the car. I think the lines will come out nice.

I think I'd go with the six taillight configuration. It looks good with the small C2 taillights.

I wonder what a C3 would look like with just the nose. would help with parking down town. I like the look of the nose, personaly.

I love it, I generally love customs because the stock ones are a dime a dozen, you've seen one, you've seen them all

What I see with the guys with negative comments is that when you look at their profiles they almost all have POS rides with rust everywhere and flaky paint or no vette at all

That's the best shot to show what it'll eventually look like and I too am a huge fan of the stubby nose over the long C3 front end.

Great project to watch and take inspiration from.
