Is that sheet metal and pop rivets a permanent repair or temp.

Temporary, in order to provide a support mechanism for shaping the fibreglass lay-up.

The C5 rear has been narrowed by approximately 6 inches.

You sure, Craig? That looks like the roofline of a Nissan 200SX to me...

That's what I meant. From the pictures that old girl has had a hard life.

The close-up of the door hinge showed some of the rust and damage around the front end and the "spare parts" inside.

It's going to take a lot of work and a lot of love to resurrect this one!

Ah... I thought you might be mourning the mods. Some folks don't like to see any Vette modified and while I can understand that, in this (basket)case, anything would be an improvement... but the owner definitely took it to the right place. Some of the projects that were there when I visited were out of this world.

They're popular with the ricer crowd. See the roofline? Same kind of popup headlights too.
