That is one of the most if not theee most impressive custom consept I have ever seen. I absolutly agree with V-Twin; pull a mold of the finsihed panels and you may have somthing that many will want.

Great work; cant wait to see it finished...

I'm impressed with the concept of the build, and you pulled those body lines off well. That takes creativity!!!!

That looks really cool. When you get the coupe finished, you need to start on the convertible.

Be sure to make some molds from the panels when you get done. You really don't want to spend another 1000 hours building a fender, if you get one bunged up in a wreck.

Man, looks amazing! You should drive that to GM and say, "Here's your C7 gentlemen!" It looks like a beautiful fusion of the best lines of any car....in other words it looks super cool!

If only Chevy would go retro with the lines you have glassed together!

That is too cool! I'd buy a body kit like that if you were to make one.

I am generally not a custom fan, but! The way your project is coming along almost looks like what the C-2 might have evolved into had GM done it. The "Flying Buttress" is one of the design points I really like about the C-3. You have undertaken quite a project with great results. Keep up the good work.
