Awesome, isnt that the car you posted about building awhile back requesting chops, etc. Show us more.
Edit: More I look at it, the more I absolutely love what ou did with the windshield rake and glass in general. Clean, updated yet still very subtle. Classy and badass at the same time. .

I think it's a little funny from the side because the windshield has so much more rake than the Stingray. If you extended the hood scoop so it came closer to the windshield (and maybe the other rear edges of the hood too) it would be more congruous (sp?).
Overall, it's a killer car and possibly a great step forward in what you can do with a C4. I'm sure you're real proud of the results.

That would require a sawzall at this stage in the project...

Anyhow the midsection of the car looks like its begging for chrome.
Can you cram sidepipes in there? The front part would be a fake heatshield, the rear could be the actual exhaust.

C4 "dipunder" in that area and draw the chrome rallys together...
prototypes looked pretty good...course everything is a huge compromise on a project like this where the goal is not to imitate but update to a newer configuration with strong ties to the original...though we are nowhere compareable, or anywhere near as good, the coming new camaro has strong ties to the 69 in my humble opinion...and that was the design goal of Chevrolet...If by some chance our car comes out looking like a similar lineage, I will be happy....Thanks for the comments and keep them coming...Dave
