No new pics this time, but i finished up the exhaust, rebleed the brakes and clutch and took it for a ride. I didn't go far since theres still no front clip on it but the tranny worked fine and it is in major need of an alignment but everything worked the way it was suppose to. Front clip is painted and hopefully we can put it on monday night and get it in for an alignment sometime next week.

I think it looks awesome. The only thing I would have done differently is painted the bottom tabs for the fenders black. They kind of stick out being so bright beneath the car. Maybe, I'm just used to seeing them look old?

Looks awesome! Personally, I think it could benefit from those Z06 wheels being satin black or gray, but it's awesome either way.

Goods good I think you need a little more black though. I would have gone with the sail panel being black and then either a black manta or 35th ann. stripes, but its up to you man.

That looks awesome!!! I think it needs some black on the hood (manta stripe or something)...but it looks absolutely awesome. I'm very impressed.

Heres some better pics with it all cleaned up. Definately needs some sort of striping on the hood. But for now i'm just gonna drive it and enjoy.

Do you have any engine or drive train plans for it? I assume its pretty much a stock SS right now (other than the badass paint of course).

Looks great. If it were me, I would do a ZL1 clone w/ the manta stripe & hockey stripe on the side. (the long hocky stripe)
