Just another MOD, some folks have too much time and money, especially during those long Canadian winters

Ugly the last time you posted this, still ugly. If it serves a purpose then so be it, doesn't tick me off, but it is pointless posting again on a Corvette forum IMO.

Probably cheaper and easier to tick people off by creating a forum where 50% of posts are spammed ads rather than to go through the expense of building that car.

I do like the car though.

It’s not for me, but as long as it is someone else spending the cash to create it, then go for it.

I dig it. That's the cool thing about hot rodding; there are no rules.

Default Fugly all over

If I had a spare LS1 power train, it would get transplanted into something with character.

That ride is all mixed up with no real identity.

Puppies are cute when they are young.... so you will take them home.

This puppy was sent to the shelter.

This is all just my opinion and I spend (and save) my money to make me happy.

Cars don't have an identity. They aren't animate objects.

from the door up I like it, not feeling the back half though... the side vents and flares look bad and the rear looks like a monte carlo

I'm sure it took lots of work and it's certainly a fun car to drive, but it looks a bit like Bubba's attempt to re-create Ken Block's "Hoonicorn"...
Congrats to the builder in any case: he has skills that I don't, and as long as he likes it, other opinions don't really matter.

I have no brand loyalty at all, but I do prefer the Corvette to the Mustang. That's why I bought a Corvette!

A local rock radio station here in New Zealand made a hybrid Ford/Holden to give away to a listener. 7 year ago. Made a pretty good job of it under the circumstances.
