C6 underpinnings and a C2 skin. Perfect combo? Or failed experiment?

Lots of work went into this, obviously, but if I was looking for a C2 with modern handling, I'd get an original, then go with an Art Morrison chassis, and an LS. Interesting machine though!

I actually think the front looks pretty good? But it kind of goes wrong starting with the doors...

Saw one in person at Bloomington Gold one year. The C2/C6 is impressive in person. However obviously the exact same proportions can't be maintained. It's a cool option for those with the $$$$ however I'd be happier with a C2 and VBP suspension with an LS swapped or Fitech injected small block Chevy for less cost.

Looks like a C2 that went on a pizza and milkshake diet...
