Default My 76 Stingray

I am trying to decide how to finish my Stingray...factory stock, or custom like this.
You can view pics of the car at www.my1976corvette.com - you can see that it is still at a stage where I can go either way...any suggestions or tips? I am truly torn at this point.

I'm a fan of the Not Correctly Restored Stingrays so do what you want and how you envision it. I've removed or modified everything that was specific to the '76 since I didn't really care for any of it, but that's just me.

Fix your link. My vote is for custom. Never Ride Stock lol. Make the car perform and ride how you want

I'll vote 100% stock just to balance out the voting.

I like my older Corvettes to be stock LOOKING ...Period...

What you can't see I'm generally fine with ..engine exhaust mods etc..but wheels have to be stock ...I just do not want to have a old corvette running on 20 inch wheels ...
