Looks good!
I'm not sure what you had done, but that chrome against the black sure does pop. Love the wheels and pipes.
Question: What's the story on that hood? I figure it's hiding some kind of monster beneath, one that was too big for the more stock looking big block hood?

Beautiful! Love the black and the chrome, looks outstanding and best of all, there's muscle to match the looks. Bet it's going to lay the rubber down endlessly! Buh-WAAAAAAH!

Are both the side pipes and rear exhaust ports functional? The rears still look serious.
The hood is big-time badazz.

That is an awesome lookin Vette. I'm assuming you are leaving the badges off (except for that saweet lookin 572 cross flags on the front).
I'm going black on my 69 and wondered what it would look like without the accents. I love it!
Great job!!!

Great looking car. Very nice job.
I (and I bet others too) would love to hear how it sounds (hint....hint).
How about a video?
