I found a trashed but running C4 and purchased it for $700. I drove it onto my trailer and brought it home. I stripped it down and discovered that the hood wouldn't clear. I have sliced the center section of the hood and raised it up to clear everything. The body that I have is a J5. Kellison's next version was the J6. It had single headlights and the center of the hood was higher. I will end up with a car that combines the look of the J5 and J6 together.
When I saw the C4 stripped down it occurred to me that it would be fun to attach an Exoskeleton tubular frame to the Vette chassis and drive it as is. Exovette will be a little bit hot rod, locost, exoskeleton, and sport rod all rolled into one. I'm in the process of building the Exoskeleton right now. I'll have pictures of that I hope by the end of the week. So, now I have 2 projects for the same chassis.
