I’d say my 73 qualifies for this thread. It has the Ecklers 1 pc Hood and Flares and a Molded in Rear Clip which was done sometime in the 80” by a previous owner. Has VB’s after market Suspension Front and Rear and some shiny stuff in the Engine Bay and the interior has all been redone and Heat/Soundproofed and also has a 200R4 OD Tranny.
wow that is a lot of work and is super nice

OK guys, not really a finished product but i am playing around with the idea to modernize my '80 a bit without destroying the original unique C3 looks, something like this:
I have the Vette, i have the rims, all i need is 6 months of free time to make those bodymods...
What do you guys think?

Bill, yes I have them, it's just to cold to do anything with them right now and I'm still choking on the cost of the wheels I want, they aren't cheep, but the wheels make or break what a car looks like. I need to step up and order them Soon so I have them when I start to fit the flares.
Every time I see Brent's car it gets me a little stirred up, and ready to start my body work. That's right Brent, your car looks that nice.

On my 68, I kept the exterior mods subtle. L88 hood, sidepipes, lowered 2". Interior only has the original seats recovered in cloth, a 6 speed shift sticker (Richmond), Updated stereo. Everything else looks original.
But under the hood 6.0 LS fuel injected motor, cowl induction, Richmond 6 speed, Vintage Air, Griffin radiator, electric wiper actuator, all new harness.

I don't think the it's driveable with the current front spoiler design though. A little too low no?
You might try photoshopping the wheels in black or gray since there is no bright work on the car and you're looking to modernize it.
