That's a hard no.

I'd rather just strip the body all the way off and tube chassis/cage Kart it.

flyingmfrc 04-09-2020 12:19 PM

That's hard to look at....surely it must have been in an accident..... :crazy:

That's what hot rodding is all about. Making something from a wreck.

Mmmm, looks like a Miata and BMW got together and... dreamed of a Corvette love child?

Most hideous car I've seen in many years. But still 1000000 times better than ANY "tube chassis/cage Kart"

DDaaryl 04-09-2020 03:59 PM

Hope they didn't start with a perfectly good car to create this. It's different and special for sure.

Somebody rear-ended this C5 so hard the mufflers were bent 90 degrees :willy:

Mr. Black 04-09-2020 04:50 PM

That's even worse. No offense to the owner. Like DDaaryl likes to say, it's special alright.

I agree but it is suppose to be better after
the wreck. Hot rodding should have a good vision
not a hack job.

Its not my taste, but it is some ones statement.,.. I dont see a claim that is a Corvette, although its using some Corvette parts...No claim that its a modded Corvette, but what I see is an attempt to make something our of almost nothing... Nice wheels though.
That is someone's hard work with many one off panels. I applaud the effort.

Rear looks like the prowler and It's not bad overall. Neat and creative, would be nice if the front end was different and maybe round narrow-ish.

ShagVette 04-09-2020 06:01 PM

Whelp, when you want to have one that doesn't look like ANY others! :)

LOL. You ever see a rat rod?

Bet steep driveways are easier without the giant front and rear overhangs. haha

Well, it certainly doesn't appeal to me but the work, from what I can see, looks to be well done. The car hobby has, and I suspect always will, produce some interesting, different and at times outrageous rides. It helps keep the hobby interesting even if it isn't your cup of tea.

RichyB33 04-10-2020 08:44 AM

It's like a prowler's deformed little brother

I've ALWAYS thought the C5 butt was TOO BIG. But.. this guy lost it all!
