This is a car we have been working on for about 2 years now, it is a 1969 Corvette with a few mods.
A few?

Keep pickin' people. Its an amazing custom with alot of creativity. All you have to do is look, not own it.

The end of the video said it is scheduled to cross the BJ stage in August. Since it was obviously created to be sold, the gavel will determine whether or not it was a good business decision.

Overall I like...

I do not care for those "flip top" gas caps. And, in my opinion, on this car it really doesn't fit in with the sleek design. Looks like a semi truck exhaust in the middle of the deck...


The "porta potty" seat? Gotta have it, cause someone is gonna "go" when the pedal hits the metal....

True... that's what it was built for, to look at and not drive. Far from functionality and car will be a trailer queen at best.

The craftsmanship and attention to detail is impressive to say the least.

ive gotta say it... that looks ugly as hell. even after looking at all the interior/exterior pictures in the link, theres not a single angle that i thought it looks nice from.

not to mention the huge pipe intake sticking THROUGH the hood, along with the side opening hood its self looks tacky as hell.

Looks good to me, but I'm partial to sidepipes

Site added to my favorites. I checked out the link to some nice looking cars.

Wow, some of these folks making some poor comments about a vision that someone
had and did a Damn nice job with the vision and Craftsmen Skills. This car is far from
being stock or even close to what most vettes are, that is what makes this car such a
great custom build. This car is classic custom hot rodding at its finest.

Thanks for sharing these photos with us. I, like others have said, I would love to see
more, better yet, A video with this car in action.


Riggs.

Yes, heaven forbid if someone has different tastes or their opinions differ from the rest.

Correct me if I am wrong but the OP does not own the car nor did he build it. With that said, I'm not seeing the big deal if some people here are not in love with the final product??

Very good work on this car. I do like it. But even if you don't, you can appreciate quality workmanship. My cars are my vision and I will be the first to admin I’ve had some strange visions over the years.

The side pipes on top of the engine are tacky also.

A colossal waste of money.
Nice paint though.
Totally agree. It reminds me of the "wild" customs of the 70's that people thought were so cool for about 20 minutes and laughed at ever since.

I remember the homemade grill inserts the fabricators dreamed up back then, thinking they were cutting edge. Express Lane to BubbaVille.

I think it would make a good Matchbox car or a model kit. Real life? Not so much.
