Cool! That's a variation on the Greenwood wide-body racecars, which I love. I had thought about adding the third taillight on each side of my 76 as a nod to the C2 crowd but, now that I see it, I think not. The lights are just too big to make it look good. Cool, thanks for the pics, sorry I can't add any info.

I’ve never heard of the Gabriel Edition. I’m always learning something new around here! Thanks for posting.

I think the headlights look well executed, better than most. But not my cup of tea. I'm sure there are buyers for body modded cars. If the head lights don't flip up I always pass.
