Not my style but the time and craftsmanship deserves credit. Some people seem to forget that its people like them who allow great aftermarket ideas to come to the market.

Looks like something the "Creature from the Black Lagoon" (a '50's sci-fi movie), would drive.

I could care less about the rest of the car. I want to know more about those paddle shifts. I know there is a semi-clunky retrokit out there with an ECU intercept and wheel paddles. I wouldn't mind the paddle shifts but a sequential shifter coming out of the center would be nice. Gonna have to find out what they did there.

Thx for the post!

I really like it. Great looking ride. Congratulations on a fantastic project. If it were mine, I'd probably loose the rear spoiler, but maybe not if I were to see it in person......

It's kind of like taking the Mona Lisa and trying to make it look like Angelina Jolie....interesting but was it worth the effort?

I can appreciate the effort and the creative thought that went into it. However, it looks too much like a Ferrari. I'm not opposed to the looks of a Ferrari, but this has lost all Corvette identity.
