I am sure the owner likes it. And that's all that matters.

[/QUOTE]
I've been to hundreds of car and motorcycle shows in my lifetime. I've never seen a car or motorcycle that I have not stood back and appreciated the time and effort another person has put into the art they have created. It takes very little creativity to drive a stock corvette. I do and it's a thing of beauty, but then, so is this!!!

I wonder if he is running a GM or Ford drive train? Small Block 427 Ford with Webers and a TKO600 would be really cool to see when he flipped open that tilt hood.

We love our Corvette. I'm sure my wife will have no problem with me starting a Cobra when the Vette is finished and the keys land into her purse.
