The original plan was to always glass over and retrofit lights into the fog light area. The headlights are a pia and electrical conversion is not worth it. I saw a c3 with the delete and loved it.

These actually make great cars for modding. After 72 they got rubber bumpers all the way around (except 73 which still had a steel front bumper). Because of that, they are no really desirable by the collectors so you 1. they aren't expensive and 2. you don't have to feel bad a bout cutting it up. You still get the desirable features of a vette (fiberglass body, full frame, IRS......) without the price tag. What do these cars typically weigh?
I need xanax when I see someone cutting up anything including and before 72, unless it was just a non numbers **** box already.

I picked it up as a numbers matching 76 with 30k miles for 7k. I had 0 plans of modding it untill parts fell together and the build took off. I could have saved a ton by spending like 2k on a roller.

Well is was a great weekend!
We stripped it all apart again, prepped the interior and bars, and laid some paint. Cut the dash and got it all fitted up, shifter on too. Now just gotta complete the engine bay.
Were doing a remote electric pump and also doing blakes intercooler (fits without cutting the hood).
Still shooting for January - February to 4 link the car.

Great work on your car! It looks great! Some day I need to redo the roll cage in my 68 C3. It is a tight fit. It has a 5.9 Cummins in it that may get removed for a LS swap after I get my 40 Ford done. Time will tell.

It has 2 turbos and the car is tubbed. It has ran low 11's. I haven't ran it since I got the trans fixed. Hoping for 10's minimum but I haven't had time to take it to a track this year.
