Thanks

I got this color from a car I saw sell on BJ auction last January. I searched and found the person who painted the car and he gave me the code. BASF color. The color is close to 1967 Corvette Elkhart blue but twice the metallic, and this paint has pearl. The coves are 57 Corvette Aztec Silver. It's not 58 Corvette silver blue or 1959 Corvette Frost blue. I tried about 8 colors total.

Great choice! The older (and more sophisticated, hehe) I get, the more I'm liking subtle colors instead of flashy ones. Way more class IMHO.
Q:....what's the chrome thing sticking up for? Oil filter? Will it clear the hood?

Thanks for the replies. The Chrome thing is Billet Specialties Power Steering reservoir. Yes, it easily clears the hood. After installing this reservoir, I ran my PS pump using a drill and had the wife turn the wheels. I was told the reason so many people opted for the original GM reservoir, is because of cavitation; running dry due to air bubbles in fluid. I hope this thing works or I'm out more time and money. This corvette's color, in the video, is very similar to mine.
Did you notice the Intake and Throttle Body? It is the stock intake which I had ported and Powder Coated, chrome.
Now, what should I do to cover up the coil packs? Many options out there. Pix?
Thanks Again

Very Nice! Variation on the 58 silver/ silver blue. After watching Fargo, I figure you have a lot of garage time to work on your car!

I've never met anyone from around this area that speaks that way, like in Fargo. Yah, you betcha types. Hollywood can't get anything right. It wouldn't be entertainment if it was true.
I work at a Surface Coal Mine on a 7 day 12 hour schedule with 2 hours of commuting. When working, nothing gets done on the corvette. Shower Eat Sleep. Looking forward to retirement.
