Even though it's not my "thang" I always admire hard work and craftsmanship. These guys put a lot into their cars. Trouble is they actually put them on the road.
Not my thang either, but looks cool. Much better than the Mustang with 30"wheels.. Lol
 
Just to really scorch those retinas.

I've been around 4x4s for a significant part of my life and I'd bet those tires are at least 38" in diameter. That would involve about a 5" lift and there's no way the wheel wells are not heavily modified. You can see the distance between the rear side deflector and the well to this pic of my car, with as close to the angle above that I could find. It obvious this car has a lot of body work to pull this off. I'd be very curious to know how they were able to lift the front without some weird camber angle. I would imagine there some body work to the well in the front, but it's not quite as obvious. It may also be shorter tire based on the rake.

I do see what you mean. It looks like they must've cut out some of the body panels to fit those. It looks to be a pretty good job. But still... Why? 🤷‍♂️😁

God. I hope this is not the new craze.

Of all cars, why not make a Corvette look bad?

Now that I think of it, I can see why they prefer the mustangs too :D
I sure hope I don't run into a GT500 like this...

I'm just shocked that one would actually want to do this to an S197 or Fox. Really... Any car. But I can see the Caprice or whatever, more so than this. Either way, pretty horrible.
