Awesome, just awesome. Your attention to detail shows through. You have close to a new car, I think only the drive train remains and it may not need any attention at this time. Great dedication to see this project complete.

One question, why don't you have the 'Euro' tail lights? Don't see that style tail light on the black beauty either that was in one of your pictures. Just curious.

It looks really great

Great work! I've always thought the standard finish on the interior was too plain. The wood and graphite overlays usually seem a little to JC Whitney to me. But these look awesome!

Just saw this thread. I take it as a real compliment to us Corvette guys that a guy from the land of BMW & Porsche would take the time and care to do such a fantastic job. You are a C4 hero, mein Freund! (sp?)
