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.

Lots of beautiful Vettes so far.
I know mine is nowhere near done but I have always liked to crash a party.

Mild Custom? Hhhhhmmmmm

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

Beautiful car! Love the fuel filler door! Can you tell me more about it?

Default 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.

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

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?
The back gills or vent in my opinion is the best mod I have ever seen, however; the front spoiler and rocker panels not so much. Not sold on the rear bumper either.

Man there is a ton of work in that car. Nice blend of this and that. Love the shaker hood, the rims etc. Nice job!

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.
