Very interesting. Why did you abandon the speedster concept? Just too much work/expense? Now THAT would be a very cool concept.
Are you planning on marketing this new roof design along with your other body panels? Or is this just for show?
I agree that the C6 roof line may not be as stylish as some and could use some updating. But, it is somewhat of a Corvette signature style element and a key structural addition. Hopefully the C7 will be an even better version of the Corvette and not just a copy of other sports car designs. We'll see.
I look forward to seeing the completed vehicle.

We need new pictures to help us make it through the winter?

I love the design and I am highly interested. How did you deal with the halo/quarter windows? Is there a new roofline support designed as a halo replacement? Would it be feasible/cost effective to design it so the current roof would fit into this, or a removable one? It appears the complete roofline is redesigned, from the A pillars up. Are the A-pillars added on as covers to the windscreen as the factory style are, or a new integral support? My apologies for the many questions. However, I am to say the least, intrigued.

I'm thinking John wants to finish it now because the C7 roofline is going to look very similar I believe. I think this (John's car) is going to be the best looking Corvette ever made. If I could buy the car it could entice me to getting back into Corvettes. I'm blown away by it.

As I worry about drilling holes in the bumper for a spoiler and changing out the knee bolster for a newly covered one 
Nice work John. Amazing how you can do this. Takes bigger one's than I have.

I would really like to see this finished and then parked next to a stock Z06 so we can see the subtle differences from various angles. 
Look great so far.
