That actually looks nicely done. I wouldn't want to hit a bump and lose the fenders though.

If your going to hit the beach with something fun, not a bad ride with a Corvette body. Maybe this car was rescued from the trash heap, so it's not a loss to the Vette community.

Once you get over the Vette being forever modified grief, its actually pretty cool.

I saw this car at the Atlantic City show this spring. Not to badly done. Not my taste but it was not a hack job.

Since I would never park my car anywhere so that someone else could ding my doors, I would never get use out of that mod. Not to mention that it costs $5000+ to have that done...just for the factor.

Well it looks better done than most such conversions. Plus, it's his money, he can do with it as he pleases, at least it wasn't a chrome bumper car, for all we know the car was a total loss anyway. At least now someone can enjoy using it.

It actually was a chrome bumper car. It started life as a 69. He added all the other stuff. Who knows maybe it was a wreck to start with.

C6 is just as bad...Lambo doors, and fake "Z06" badges and vents on a convertible.

Not my taste, but seems to be a quality job. Most of the others are rotten bodies tossed on stock wore out blazer chassis so in a way that one is refreshing to see!
