project 67.5 corvette
Hey all,
You have some amazing cars on this forum. I've enjoyed looking over all of the works of art in progress and thought I would share my project. It started about a year ago with a concept.
A few parts here and there, a little time, some fabrication, and a big mess later it is starting to look like a car.
It is a 77' corvette with c2 front and rear panels and some custom fiberglass in between. This isn't a high budget build but more of a hobby to keep me out of trouble around the house. I look forward to getting a lot of ideas and inspirations from everybodies work.
Thanks,
Scott

That is the best looking Corvette I've seen in a long time. I couldn't figure out that roof top at first.
I love it.
Great job.

Any pics of the hood? What plans you have for that? A little hard to tell from the concept picture, but I can really imagine a '67 427 scoop, or an L88 scoop on there

I don't have any good pics of the hood. Here is an old picture where you can kind of make it out. It is c3 l88 style.

I like those L88 scoops. A guy I went to highschool with put one on his later 3rd gen Camaro RS, it looks really nice on there too

I'm torn, I wanna hate it because I'm kind of a purist, but I don't! I actually looks good. What kinda wheels are those?

I thought I'd do a little photo shop. I made the side vents bigger, longer and more centered.

bingham, nice job on the chop, and I like the vent that way, probably too far into the build for that now though.
67.5vette - even after saying that, I must say I still love the project. I've been building a 1:25 '72?(?) Corvette for years now, that I put the waterfall from a '53, and the rear bumper from a '96 on. I've been pushing the idea of a '97 front end, but now I'm thinking the front end from a C2 and using the '97's running gear instead. Thank you for posting this thread, maybe I'll be able to get a couple pics of my project for you up here too. Maybe we can feed off each other
