StingRay Ray- No turning back
 
Rough. Real rough. But I'm finally getting the ball rolling. Can't permanently fix it until I get the front on to make sure body lines work. I will keep kind of a photo journal for those who are interested. I know most of you think I'm crazy. Maybe I am a little. But I have a ton of fun doing stuff like this. Can't leave anything alone.

Very interesting. Maybe a vert.in the future?

Cool! Something a little different. :thumbs:

IMO, Lose the flying buttresses in the back - chop 'em like the red picture.

ed1655 08-21-2007 03:12 AM

nice! i say keep the rear butresses and front fender flares. or else it'll just look like a bastardized c2

Just curious to what year C-3 was used here from the doors forward. The color dark blue in the picture looks very similar to the Dark Blue on my '73 Coupe. Since you don't have your profile filled out I have no idea of what year C-3 you started with. Keep us posted to your progress and find some time to fill at your profile so we get to know you better on this forum.

vette 85 08-22-2007 05:16 AM

It looks like a '77

I think you have the majority of the Forum Member's backing you on this one. Always a couple of nay sayers. :nono:
Go for it and keep us posted with lots of photos.
Not too fond of the bubble back window on this project, but I do think something needs to be done with the squared off look of the current version. Love the looks of a convertible!
