To each his own. I find it very interesting. I've been thinking about a wagon version myself. But that would only affect the lid not the entire rear end of the car. Maybe this guy has more than one vette. Besides he cut up a C4...whats the problem?

I got a spy pic of the C7 being secretly tested, fake body panels and all.

I don't care for that much, but it looks like excellent workmanship.

The pickup idea is crazy, but on the other hand awesome!

Since the owner of any vette whose pic shows up in this thread may be a forum member, why don't you start with yours and you can see how it would feel

I would think "oh my f@#% god" but I may be wrong.

I don't think we should post pics of cars we don't like, who knows, yours may be on here next! JMO

I read that the owner had a Performance Hood Seal and a Thottle Body Bypass custom designed that added 45 RWPH.

A lot of work went into that C4. I have to applaud the creator. Just look it even has a tail gate and it all looks factory. Most people doing a mod like this would have just made the back one piece.. Having a tail gate took some engineering and design. I am impressed.

Not to mention that he can go to Home Depot and pick up all the wood he needs to make his ramps and lift pads!! All the while, he's cruisin in style! Wouldn't do it to my ONLY Vette, but I think it's a pretty cool project!

No UGLY is the Ronald McDonald / hot dog stand cars, but to each their own!
