Well - I asked the to do that as we ran into a shipping issue. The car was going to take up the space of two cars on the trailer!
The left quarter was already removed and there was weakness in the panel - body not yet bolted to the frame so there was some damage to the back.
However...I'm considering putting a lower mount tank and building a trunk back there......

Hi Chris, nice to see you back on here again. I've been following your new project over at the other place. This one looks to be in nicer shape to start with than Killer was, looking forward to watching the progress of this one just like I did with the original Killer. Keep us posted with pics and details as you go along. These type threads are the best to watch and a great learning experience.

I'm pretty sure I'll be spraying this baby black - like Killer...
Considering doing some carbon fiber accents including a rear difuser and ZR1 style spoiler and CF inserts to the side fenders.
The trunk issue is on the fence - we'll see how I hammer that out.
Bought a two post lift and received it yesterday. Will set that up after Bloomington Gold and be where I can lift the body on and off to tweak it out.

Putting the fender flares on now while waiting for the other engine parts.
Finally invested in a two post lift...MAN, does this thing make pulling the body off the frame a snap.

Seen your post on the DC.
I remember seeing that red car-red frame listed for sale here I believe a while back. Looks like it has a great new home
So is that all your garages out there in the fields?
Always been a fan of your projects, even your VBP vid, and glad you stuck with the C3. Cant wait to see more.
