Default Windshield replacement info
At Corvette meets I've seen older model vettes, C-3s, with a newer model windshield installed, maybe from C-5s. It gave a very unique look and I'm very interested. Any info and pictures would be appreciated.

Thanks

Yeah, Saskwatch and the Loch Ness Monster might be in the background.

Are you possibly refering to some of the "Retro" body kits that go onto the C5's?

I've seen C1 body kits on a C5 chassis but I have no idea how you could put a C5 (almost anything) in a C3.

Hi Brian,
Those are pretty neat looks.
I believe that they're 'earlier styled fenders and quarters' on 'late' cars. They're not 'late cowls' on 'earlier' cars.
Regards,
Alan
