I've seen that before. I forget the name of the company but they were specializing in taking two thirds of two C4 corvettes and merging them together with a special door arrangement. It also comes in a coupe version.

And as nice as the idea is (and I'm all for "If it makes you happy, go for it"), I still can't decide whether its right or wrong.

I think that it looks great. Props to whoever thought of something like that.

Always cool to see custom work.

Now that's funny.....I don't care who ya' are! Git-er-done!

I think both the limo and the four door are very well done vette's!
I REALLY like the suicide doors on the four door. That just rocks!

They flex as they are, imagine that one without a X brace I had a Vert and the X brace didn't do much

Looks much better than their coupe version, but I'll stick with the 2 seater

They have a website, but Google fails me at the moment
