While it is ugly IMHO lets keep in mind that many hours must have gone into this and if the owner likes it, thats all that counts.

WTH is that blocking the view of part of the steering wheel, in the last shot? Don't/can't see it in other shots. Can't figure out what it is. Anyone?

If they wanted attention, they got it. Sure nothing I'd want though.

Hey Jean, I would have to say it is an overhead console, Just a guess.
I look at is as someone with a lot of talent built it, Great workmanship in the car thats for sure, I bet at custom shows it gets really good votes, It is kinda like this one that was done years ago. All show.

Default Suprise, suprise!

I don't mean to offend anyone and I DO believe in artistic license. But it took from 0 to 60 seconds looking at these pictures until I developed the most severe headache I've ever had in my life. What the H.....?

What a tragedy to deface a good automobile. Wonder what he's been smokin'?]

Bill, that was my guess too. I just don't see where it's attached and it's not in the other shots, strange....

I know that the Corvette has always had a weak interior for the cost of the car but that isn't any better. Sometimes too much is just too much. I'm surprised a 40" LCD isn't suspended from the hatch while in the up position.
