My only question is are you doing the inside of the engine bay as well? i've always thought it doesn't look right when they do the outside but leave the engine bay the original color. Also are you leaving the Berger Panel black, cause that will look SICK if they do? they should pull that off and shoot behind that too just for good measure. Sorry if i seem like i'm nit picking it's just my dad owns a body shop and has always taught me that if you do a FULL color change to do it right the first time. idk i'll stop now Nice choice of color though man maybe a nice Manta stripe in black to tie in with the roof and berger if you leave it black and that car will look *******. i LOVE hugger orange. maybe i should do my C5 that color~Cole~

Man, that car is really starting to look nice. I know a guy with a HOSS, and man these cars were made for that color.

Keep us updated.

Very nice color choice, and looks like they are doing a pretty good job. One thing though, might be the pics but those heads don't look CNC'd. That or the intake ports were finished up by hand ....

After they was cnced they was went over by hand then glass beaded thats why they look like that. They look like cheap heads however flow over 315 at 600.

They mirrors, top and berger panel all staying black. Im leaving the engine fender wells black as well cause it was just to much work to take everything else out to have it done, however the underside of the hood and fender lines have been done, and since its black its not really that bad to me. If it was white green yellow or something other then black before I would have had to have painted the engine bay also.

On another note I work at Cadillac so I will be ordering factory bolts and hardware for anything that has any overspray on it.

Nice color, it will be sharp when it is done.

It sounds like you got a deal on the work, but it wouldn't have been much trouble to pull the lenses out & prep it right... I'm not bashing, I know that a complete color change is a huge project.
