I'm glad you didn't go for the pink then.

I had my son's black car today and was reminded of another reason I won't go black again......the freakin' heat. A couple of minutes in the son, and that sumbitch was hot! If you go black in Texas, make sure the AC is working real good.

By that I mean....as in my pic, you see where the WBY is sort of mat finish in places? Even though...from behind the lens, it is very, very bling! but, when I get the pic back it goes matt in places, Might be a nut loose on the end of the camara handle!
Crazy vette: Thanks!

You're right, I have no clear on the car. Not much base left either!!
The whole car is undergoing the resto now and will get repainted next year. From what I can tell, the two colors are very close. Hopefully after it's painted the ribbing will stop!
