OMG!!! , Yeah just OMG!! On one hand it's kinda cool, like for curiosity puposes. Like the freak show at a carnival. On the other hand it's quite possibly the most filthy disgusting molestation of a Corvette I've ever seen!!! YIKES!!

Neat... That would be fun if you could pull it off. I don't know how you'd fill that front wheel well.

I can only imagine the cost to complete the car and you still wouldn't have a vette.

Well if I had silly $$ and a rolling chassis waiting for a body it could be fun to build up and roll down the highway in.

Of course I would need to have the remote that activates the armor around the wheels and top and brings the car to me....

Also I don't think it would be street legal with it's limited rear vision and no fender mirrors...and where would you put that damn front tag???

In place of functional 50cals I'd settle for a copla paint ball guns...
