It looks like the only thing you need for that vette is a pit crew. Very nice

Very clean, that's one of the nicest rubber bumper cars I've ever seen. And the black wheels are all business.

The high cowl hood makes it look ready to pounce on someone. Mean.

Putting the sill plates on will probably pull the lines back to the bottom of the car, which would be good.

I like the black wheels. Are you putting trim on them or going the race style for a while?

I'm leaving the trim rings off and still waiting for the rocker moldings to be finished. The rockers will be carbon fiber looking.
