Default C3 C6 Vette

I saw this at a car show this past weekend. I'll say it was different but why would you go to all of the expense when you could have the real thing probably for about the same money. The body panels were about 9k, 2k to install, paint maybe 5k plus a decent doner car that would probably be at least 10k. That puts you in the high 20's with a old tech car. Vette Vues has an article on it this month.

Whoever did that should be buried in it when they die.

Over the top, but I like the concept. Wouldn't pay for it.

Ok that's the most repulsive thing I've ever seen.

The second one is really nice though.

Plus it is on a C6 chassis, not an old rusty C3 chassis. It is very well done.
