Well we flared our 79 by ourselves, then installed a custom tilt front end which we reinforced with carbon fiber (all done by ourselves of course), then we put on gymkahana springs front and back with KYB shocks all around, 17 by 11 three piece racing rims with 315 road race tires on all four corners, a WILD 282 duration cam with performer rpm intake and speed demon carb, got rid of A/C, heater, pop up lights, and front bumper assembly, we also got willwood superlyte forged aluminum calipers on the front. also has true dual chambered exhaust and shift kit. So id say its pretty custom as far as 79s go

I agree, I think they look great. I have seen one set of headlights that looked like the c5 conversion bubble ones. They were on a c3 that was in a race with redvetracr. Too bad I dont remember where the pics were.

I WISH my whole front end tilted up like that. Change your A/C accumulator a few times and you'll wish the same. I prefer hidden headlights though and I guess they don't work with a tilt front end.
