I like it. I wouldn't want more period like wheels. I'd rather have a Foose-like retro rod. A blending of now and then. So even though I like it, I'd want mine spruced up a bit in certain areas. I don't know how but that is what I would look for. It does look sweet though. Nice job.

It looks awesome.
Bodywork conversions are expensive on these cars as everything is glued together in such away that you end up wrecking a lot of stuff to get down to the frame.
There kit looks like it is gled over the existing rear tub, (ie they cut off the top of the tub) and glue on a new upper tub to form the rear.
I've learned a lot about the C5's from my own little conversion of a coupe to a FRC.
