What do you think about this video?

I like the front but not too keen on the back, but I do appreciate the craftsmanship.

Yeh, that rear is a bit "heavy". Nicely done nonetheless.

the rear is off, but the front is surprisingly well integrated.

That is the coolest C3 I have ever seen. I usually hate it when people do things like that to vintage cars, but that actually looks really cool. The only thing that could use improvement is the rear. Its a little long and looks heavy. Other than that its got nice curves.

Its neat...and very well done,but have to agree that the back is off some how.I think its the bottom of the rear side skirts...they are too boxy.

That's ridiculously stupid.

Now if he had grafted the C3 bits onto a C6 I could understand...

The rear end is too wide, looks like those fenders are going to swallow birds on the freeway at speed.

Love it. I believe you're right Brut, the side in the back is too low. The back end works for the most part because the C6 rear slants in like the 72's rear did. I think had he left the 72 rear end on, it would still look great.

Right on. That's the only part that doesn't work for me.

That's got to be an '06 with a '72 T-top and back window grafted onto it imho.

Can't be the other way around. Too much work involved.
