I think I really like the stingray emblem, but I'm not quite sure yet

I really like the side pipe set up with the LS swap.....still don't understand why Hooker hasn't jumped on making their old school side pipes for the LS swap, but those stainless works pieces with the turn outs look great!

Like the blue a lot. Door panels and seats are nicely done too, but don't care for the rest of it.

They did a nice job in the engine bay. Flares are kind of played out and over done these days.

Obviously has many, many hours into it. I do like some of the interior changes. I have to ask though - what's up with the fit of the rear wheels in the quarter panel? Looks odd.

There's a lot of nice details buried in most of those photos and a well executed blend of original and custom.
Some of it not to my own personal taste (what's up with the shifter?) but they do seem to be well done (workmanship etc)

Maybe the rear wheel/fender arc is just an illusion with the angle and the flare? Hard to believe they would spend that much time/effort and mess that up

there's nothing wrong with the fitment, that's exactly how the factory L88 flares fit.
