StingRay Ray- No turning back

Rough. Real rough. But I'm finally getting the ball rolling. Can't permanently fix it until I get the front on to make sure body lines work. I will keep kind of a photo journal for those who are interested. I know most of you think I'm crazy. Maybe I am a little. But I have a ton of fun doing stuff like this. Can't leave anything alone.

Cool! Something a little different.

IMO, Lose the flying buttresses in the back - chop 'em like the red picture.

I like the lines from the side. Curious to see how the back deck comes out.

Since you don't have your profile filled out I have no idea of what year C-3 you started with. Keep us posted to your progress and find some time to fill at your profile so we get to know you better on this forum.

I think you have the majority of the Forum Member's backing you on this one. Always a couple of nay sayers.

Go for it and keep us posted with lots of photos.
Not too fond of the bubble back window on this project, but I do think something needs to be done with the squared off look of the current version. Love the looks of a convertible!
