You have to see the car up close and personal to really get a feel for the lines with the convertible top.
She is going to be a beautiful piece of machinery when she is done no matter what body kit is added.
I like the hood scoops personally, the hoods on our cars are so big they need something to break them up.

In addition to the convertible top, would you ever consider putting a hardtop on there? That would be a wicked look. Kind of like the "Big Doggie" ZR-2 pictured here, with my favorite ZR-1 hood:

Where can I source one of those hoods??

Re: ZR-1 Convertible Conversion
 

If I find a hardtop for a decent price, I'm sure I'll buy it. It will fit just fine. The top mounting areas will not be changed during the conversion.

Not sure about the hood.

Finally found the time to complete the deck lid modifications. All panels are complete and ready for mold making.
Now, I can get caught up on other fiberglass projects. (BFR Rocker Panels for Scott!)

Any thought as to offering the custom bumper without the exhaust cut-outs on each side,Brett? Having the ability to utilize a centermount Speedster-style exhaust system would be a great thing.

Re: ZR-1 Convertible Conversion
 

Not really sure at this point. After all of the fiberglass that I've laid over the last two years with the 1954 Motorama Fastback project, I'm about burnt out on it all.

BTDT! with several of my past hobbies too. There's a fine line where fun/hobbie becomes...that 4-letter word...WORK. The only cure I've found is backing away from it for a while, as soon as possible: not too long tho less the fire goes out.

SO! Brett, I think you're just suffering from a terrible condition called hypo-ZR-1! But, I think that when you turn the key on a 427 LT5 (and you know you want one!) and take the vert out on that first drive...and drop the HAMMER...all will be forgotten and the permagrin will return! I know... BTDT too! - just recently...as a matter of fact!!;) Mebby you need someone to help ya - or at least hand you a brewski once in a while, while you work...;)
