I think you should design a 4 door C5.

This thread kinda reminds me of the design school thoughts: "just because your mom hangs the picture on the refrigerator, doesn't mean it's good".

These are like intro to photoshop copy and drag/scale stuff.

If you can just get stock wheels in 22s you'd be set

About 6 hours went into each picture. Definitely not just copy/drag/paste. If only it were that easy. The idea is to have an actual idea in photo form so my fabrication shop can have something more to work with than just paper drawings.

Your offspring could scribble a fart with a 10 color rainbow and you'll put it on the refrigerator. Did you do it due to the quality of the fart depiction or is it because it made them feel special and you were proud of a scribbled fart?

Yeah...

How much cash do you really, realistically intend to spend to see this project to completion? Wheels aside, you're going to push 10k depending on which of these renderings you go with. You ready to put that into this car? You'll never get it back, you should be aware of that. Not that I think that's a reason to not do it at all, just being sure you're aware of that.

Yes im aware of the costs. The c5 being my favorite vette, it will be worth it to me. Some guys dump 25k in their motor alone and more. Im keeping this car, not ever going to sell. Tentatively its being done with paint for 8k. Putting a maggie in it and im done after its tuned. Will add some dress up stuff here and there
