Definitely but they need to be a high gloss black. That looks like a Batmobile that should have been...It looks like a late 70s custom for sure!!

I think your 74 is PERFECT as it is right now. The louvers would be too much - over the top - and take away from your already beautiful car!

Thank you, I have the same feeling but keep visiting the louvres😵💫. I think I’m over it. Maybe window tints🤔

No way. Just look at it....everything is smooth and flows.
Louvers over that back window would disrupt the rest of the car...

Kind of n interesting 74... body mods aside I see a later c3 rear end and a 76 steering column with the vega wheel so looks like there was quite a bit swapped.

So many bits from others. However, your eye re steering wheel was of interest. I purchased car in 2019 after seeing it on American Pickers. “Michigan Madman” episode. In 1978-80 Detroit’s Bob Larson built the car specifically to demonstrate his Twin Turbo engineering that would work with a stock Corvette hood. After my purchase I choose to bring to a 2020 performance level. The items required a new hood style. The carbon fiber hood shown is that add. So many people and adds it would bore you to tears reading.
thanks for your reply.
