Bagged vette anyone???
Thought you guys/gals would get a kick out of the bagged vette. Hope it's not a dupe. It looks pretty good in the pic, but I'm guessing that is all it's good for!! I would venture to say that handling is not it's strong point!!

Nice... I've seen one once before. Some of my buddies are really into the mini truck scene and used to run a shop called VaCustoms and a website www.vacustoms.com.
I was at a show with them and saw a white C5 lay frame on the highway... it was actually very very cool and very well done.
For those that don't know Laying fame is when the driver lets the air out of the air springs while driving to slam the vehicle (normally a truck) frame on the pavement which results in a spectacular spark show.
Many of these guys install Titanium skit plates on teh frame rails so they don't rub through the actual frame, and Ti throws brillian white sparks.

I thought of doing it myself. Alot of my friends also are into the mini-truck or old school rides with hydrolics. There would sure have to be a lot of cutting involved in doing this and the ride quaility would be greatly effected, but imho, I think it looks

It's all for show... the cars/trucks have onboard air compressors... you pump up the air springs and off you go.They just lay them out for shows... air down.
If I had a 2nd show vette it might be worth doing.... it does look cool.
