The fender louvers I bought off Ecklers. To put them in the mechanics had to cut holes to place them in, and then the guy that painted the car did alot of glass work to make them look like they belong there. He learned a few new cuss words doing that.

Thx for all the good feed back! I was wondering how people would take it, because the first day I had it out I drove it to Auto Zone to get new stuff to detail it. Just so happed there was another vette a C5 so I parked next to it thinking Cool! Out walks the owner some old cranky dude all how drunk were you when you painted that? What kinda car is that? How much was the paint job 3 grand? If I were to paint my car that color I'd get arrested ....

Sorry for the picture quality...
I had a 7 inch touch screen stereo put in, and to the left of it is the over drive controls for the kiesler trans., to the left of the control box is a toggle for the air horn, and then new seats. The engine is a ZZ4 crate engine.

Cool ride. Looking forward to catching you out this summer around Knoxville and getting a closer look. If you see me out in either one of my cars, be sure to come over and shoot the breeze.

Yeah, if any of you guys are around Knoxville when the weather is nice....every Saturday night starting at about 5 or 6 pm everybody just gets together for a free car show. Just bring your ride to the Ingle's Grocery store parking lot on Emory Road, just off the I-75 exit. Yeah I don't know how it all started. I plan on being there alot of Saturday nights. I guess Ingle's figures it draws a crowd.

WOW!
I thought my candy green paint job was far out! Your Vette is stunning. Did you lay down that paint or did you have someone else do it? You're going to give someone whiplash on the streets with that baby.........

Looks great June Bug
Generally I don't care for that paint but yours is an exception w/ the flake in it, think you did a great job w/ the color/flake choice.
Chrome sidepipes and Cragar SS would go great w/ that theme.
There was some great metal flake jobs done back in the 70s-80s.
You did the right thing not arguing w/ that a-hole customer at Advance Auto, its not worth giving that kind of comment the time of day, what an ***
