here is an ok pic....I don't have any other pics on my work computer....but she's got a different front end flares front and rear and I removed the rear bumbers for the race car look. I did not like the factory fiberglass bumper framing so I cut them out and smoothed out the rear. You can see the back of the car in my sig.

Richard,
It looks amazing and I like the idea of the BMW power plant. Do you have a build thread on the car?

Wow lovely thread !
Mine is in progress, but some others in here too, so i don`t mind posting.
But i guess that doesn`t matter, considering they are never really "finished", right ? ....
Custom body with a unique rear, LS 3 Stroker, coil overs, deep dish slotted rims, pop-up glass hatch and chrome bumpers, so for some part is a Corvette year blend but there is also a GTO-spec 6spd, parts from Dodge Challenger, early Camaro, Pontiac Trans Am . . .
that 102mm intake and Nick Williams tb is for sale btw
new set-up, overhead MAF-EFI intake

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.

Just the hood...
I just customized the hood to personalize my 69 coupe and provide clearance for the ZZ502 air cleaner. Hope you like it. Rest of exterior will be stock.

To me it is "Why didn't GM do this?" This is the best mod I have seen.

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?

Very modest for one VERY cool car and I love the color too.

For longer than I can recall I have been batting around the hood scoop thing,
I have seen pretty much every aftermarket vette hood and know most of the old school stock hood scoops...I wanted something different...one off.
I would wonder why GM never put the shaker scoop on the vette, for years I thought one of the coolest hood treatments ever was when modders would put a shaker scoop on a formula hood...
But these 'birds are very different styling to a c3 what would a shaker look like on a c3?
I had to wonder would the mind set of that is a Trans am scoop overtake it no matter how good it looked,
I never knew Easygear was running one, I dig this, I would love to see the engine with the air cleaner and scoop on it with the hood open...

Getting a new motor and hood now. My bucket list with the car is the Hot Rod Power Tour, One Lap of America, Optima Street Car Challenge, and Bowling Green NCM Caravan. Time and money permitting.
