SHAZAM! (I promised Evil-Twin I'd no longer use wow.) Absolutely gorgeous color. Orange would be one of the colors I'd consider if I ever paint my car. Great job!

Hi all,
It's a year on and the car has had a couple of adventures. It won 5 trophies at small car meets and also picked up the UK's best C5 and best engine at our CCCUK Corvette Nationals event.
It also got reversed into by a truck with a towbar and had to have a whole new nose.
At the time of the build, one thing I wanted to do was to have orange silicone cooling hoses, with everything else going on it didn't get done. Since it was filled with Evans waterless coolant, I didn't want to pay for more of that, so I left it.
Then someone said why not drain it out and put it back in...doh.. why didn't I think of that :-)
Anyway it's now done and they really finish of the engine bay.
