i honestly cant make a decision. ive sat here and scrolled up and down for a couple minutes.

they both look amazing, so ill call it a tie.

One thing for josh though, is there anything that can be done with the throttle cable bracket? it kinda catches your eye with all the pretty chrome behind it.

I gotta vote for josh, the vette paid someone to chrome all of it. While polishing everything is alot work.

The cable bracket has to be chromed (mild steel)

He's got some nice chrome work done. He probably waited 6-8 weeks to get the plastic parts done. (I know who he sent them to)

Polish versus chrome.... you decide.

Chrome's a low effort solution, polish work is a relationship with metal.

You can't even see the vette's heads and water pump. If he has those polished I think Josh may have competition. The fuel rail covers just do a good job of hiding some detail.

That is pretty. i would say if all things were equal the vette would be more pleasing to the eye simply because they are cleaner under the hood to begin with. both are so sweet though.

Definitely going to go with Joshua on this one. We know Josh did all the work himself, and it's polished. A lot of the Vette is chrome... easy way out. I'd say the Hawk is still reigning champ.

I'm a player...for real Since my wife left I've gone crazy with clubs and the whole lifestyle.

I can't post pics here (X-rated), but if you want pm me and I'll post some pics tonight when I get home of the two college girls (who were just friends at the time) that I turned into lesbians in my bed last weekend. We had a 3-some.

I also have to go with Joshua. Keeping polished item slooking good is a lot harder than upkeeping chrome.
