I like how you painted the lexan covers over the headlights.

Building a PT Corvette is cheaper than building most PT cars, if the standard is a custom chassis and irs. A Corvette custom chassis is much cheaper than a custom muscle car chassis if both have irs. The cost of the build is dependent on which donor Corvette you select. My 65 C2 Coupe donor car was $35k for a DD. I just bought a 68 project coupe for $3700, lol. If the 68 had been a DD, it would have been in the $10k-$12k range. Lots of guys do not go custom chassis but refurbish and upgrade the original. Going that route, you still have irs since it was standard for the original car.
Large tires on either car will require tubbing or flaring, especially the C2. In the end, either model makes a killer PT car. The C3 just makes for a more cost efficient build.
