I have to say that I AM NOT a fan of the plastic bumper C3's, but that is one very nice, tastefully done car. Very clean and I love the black pipes.

Engine room is very nicely done...but, you might want to rethink those rubber fuel lines..

I bet it's a PITA to remove the right valve cover with that line where it is.

Car looks NICE!!!

Very nice looking Vette. Looks very well cared for. I like the way the black out pipes mix with the color. I previously didn't like the bubble style tail light lenses either but after seeing them on other cars (RED 73) and now yours, I think I'll go for them on my 71 along with other mod ideas I've collected through this forum. Very Nice!!!!! Where in MI are you?

Disregard, I see now you're in Washington.

Very nice looking PBC3!! The only thing I would change is the fuel line....reroute the line and use some AN fittings...along with a fuel filter set up for AN fittings.

As others have stated......your black side-pipes look great!

Nicely done.....Love the look.

5th the rubber lines and I would remove the air filter....I had one of those on my car when I bought it. I removed it and looked at the filter....back fires had melted the element some.....they are known to catch fire and burn a hotrod to the grown.

once again....love the ride! I might remove the current rear bumper on mine and go to that style.
