Larry, I bought my hood from Ecklers.  The L-88 hood actually fit on my Vette a lot better than the stock hood did.  Just waiting to get it painted.

Might have to wait longer now that I could use that money to get the Lambo doors!!   I actually like them a little more today then I did yesterday, but I still don't know if I would do it.  Is anything modified on the door hinges where it wouldn't be able to go back to original easily?

The ones I've read about from Vertical Doors say going back is no problem. No new holes or anything.

I'd never consider Lambo doors for my Vette, but of course theres a lot I won't do to it cause it worth more stock

Now on Scott's Vette I think they would look very cool. I wonder if they could design a special hinge for the wide body? Worth asking.

I agree Scott has enough other custom goodies that the Lambo Doors would look right. It looks pretty much like he could take flight anyway. Probally has one of them funny lookin umbrella's that pop out of the back when ur tryin to stop too .

I was looking for this on eBay when this was first posted but could not find it, well I did today, this looks like it would be a good kit if anyone wanted to do this mod to their shark   http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CORVETTE-C3-68-82-VERTICAL-DO OR-KIT-LAMBO-DOOR_W0QQitemZ8020328595QQcategoryZ33642QQssPag eNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
