Project Bad eBay Purchase - 1972 Pro-Touring Corvette

[ALLstrokedOUT]

I love this project, Vettes are my first love thanks to my dad, and Ive always wanted a chrome bumper c3 (i was 'stuck' with a 77' as my first car haha). Its everything id want to do to a c3 given the chance ( i love the black corvette as inspiration!). I agree with Riggs though- To fit 12+" wheels in the back, youll need at least some offset trailing arms no matter what you do which means resizing the half shafts. If you modify the frame, fuel tank, battery storage, wheel wells...you wont be able to fit t-tops in the back let alone anything else. But with the flares your saving a lot of time/work that i see as unnecessay- i love flares!! Do what the c3 racers did and flare it, the factory rear geometry isnt perfect, but once again as Riggs said, better than if you tried fitting 12" in without flares. Ill be watching this one
