The stance is awesome, but total unpractical, unless it has some kind of air suspension.

I personally like it a lot.

I think the C2 is too much.

Personally, I would not do that to a C3 but it actually looks pretty good. Probably a nice car to drive if it has a modern drivetrain.

The white car is a solid axle C1 not a C2. It appears to be a 61. I don't care for that one at all. Ugly IMO.

Oops, I knew that, hit the 2 instead of the 1. Too much rushing + I can't type to save my life

I agree about the wheels, coulda done better with the choice, but the size and width of the tires looks good. That has to be air bagged or it's gonna scrape, everywhere it goes. How you airbag one of these things is beyond me! A few doors down from my shop, is my buddy, Big Man and he is a consummate Air Bagging Pro! I've seen his work and with the tank, the compressor, the bags and all the lines.

I can't see how you'd ever fit it, unless you used the area behind the seats. There would be nowhere else to put any of that, period. Not the engine compartment, not underneath, not even in that little vertical space between the gas tank and the back of the compartment. Nope. Looks great, but I doubt it goes anywhere (and if it does, show me!).

Looks to me like it has a solid axle and coil overs.

I am all for mods but I dont like what look to me like pimp wheels on the classics so like bashcraft the wheels suck,
I also do not like the c1-c2's that are distorted looking to fit later chassis,

Hi,
Actually it's a pretty typical look and stance for some of the cars that come from Bobby Alloway's shop.
Regards,
Alan

I believe it and that explains how he can get it that low.

Don't like the wheels, nor the lowered stance.

No, but that means nothing. It's not my car.

Oh yeah! That and when someone takes a newer 'Vette and makes it look like a C1. Those are ridiculous
