Dunno if I care for it, but it is interesting, and the craftsmanship looks pretty damn good.

Different and nice. About the only thing I do not like is the light blue wire wraps and distributor cap. Alos looks like the it's leaking antifreeze. I don't think he is going to getting the price he wants.

I saw that, but refrained from posting it for fear of bashing. Personally, I think it's kinda cool, but the headlights would look much better if the front bumper was molded in so the lines didn't conflict-the leading edge of the lights and the line where the bumper attaches at the top leading edge of the frontend.

I'm not a big fan of custom Corvettes...but that car is pretty well done. The front end looks pretty nice....someone did a nice job.

The headlights are from the current celica model. I think they started the new body style around 4 years ago.
