    It takes a brave person to attempt a dig this deep into the guts of both generations. I bet there will be some others giving it a go now that this maniac showed it’s possible. Far fing out man!🤟🏻🏁

      Yep I’m probably gonna do it myself. It’s amazing how a lot of that stuff just actually bolt in with some minor modifications I always knew the drivetrain would fit with cutting the tube down and some other modifications, but to see someone actually do it. Now I’m excited to see the finish product and perhaps take on this project later on this year.

      I’ve been wanting to swap the C7 interior into my C6 and people said it wouldn’t fit but clearly if it goes into the C5 it should do the same in the C6

      I initially thought this too. Then I realized GM cuts costs on their cost cutting measures, so it doesn't surprise me they made the exact same car from 1997-2019. And if you read All Corvettes Are Red, you will see why the C4 lingered on as long as it did.

    Oh man!! So freakin cool. Thank you for this - looking forward to watching the progress! I've always thought the C5 is the best looking Corvette, and that's what I bought, but I have envied the interior of the C7. It seems inspired by the 90s C4 interior style. It has always disappointed me that they moved away from the cockpit style with the C5.

    Instead of cutting out the inner door structure why not just get some aftermarket speakers that are better quality than both the stock c5 and c7 speakers? It’ll save you the trouble of having to cut more than you’d like. On that note you should dynamat the door skins as well while you have them taken apart for better speaker quality
