Everybody has different feelings about my Cherry Love, but as I always say, you build your the way you like it, this is the way i like mine.  BTW, they are not oversized side gills, what is on the fenders are a kit that is/was sold in most aftermarket catalogs, just called side vents.  See how many places carried them, must have been a bit of a market, i know i didnt buy the only ones.
   Funny you should mention the hood, getting that 67 scoop on the there was the hardest part of the job, it took the guy, a professional fiberglass man, more than 40 hours to cut and mold it on, and i have never had anybody who has seen it in person think it looks bad.   The usual word used is "mean".  You may have missed that it has louvers down the top of it?
    The majority of the people who knock Cherry Love are the local vette club purists, who think that the only good vette is a totally original one.  Since mine is just a daily 75  done up, i don't see where it mattered what was done to the body.  If it were rare or low milage or collectable, i could see knocking it.
    I do hope, Gary, that your Vette makes you as happy as Cherry Love does me

Wow, these bring back some memories.  Spent a few years in SoCal doing these conversions, used the Can Am flare kits from Eckler's back then.  They were actually pretty quality parts and installed well.  Still bothered me a bit to whack up a cherry Corvette to put these kits on them though.

   WOW!  In my neck of the woods, you'd need to hang a red flag off the back for the distance from the tail lights!

Yeah, my first Ecklers Daytona Wide Body conversion was done to a perfect 1978 Yellow Anniversary model. I hated to do it, but it was the only Vette I had and the kit showed up out of nowhere... so I figured it was destiny.

I have a 1970  big block coupe that was done in cali in the mid to late 70's. It looks to follow the lines of the 74 and the whole interior besides the seats were updated too. Even has the javelina corp digital gauges.
