Is that a C5 emblem on the hood?? Something just seems wrong with that.

Other than that looks cool. I like the color.

it goes good with the color (electron blue)
besides, C3 badges wont stay on the nose without snapping in half.

Nice looking vette

I noticed the CT antique plate. Is there an advantage using those plates rather than the regular plates?

Thanks

Was that picture of your car with the hood on recent?

I'm pretty jealous. I was just out in the garage and decided to tackle a bunch of small projects. The first one went poorly, so I moved onto the next, then the next, and so on. So now I'm sitting at my computer with a beer not happy with making no progress on any projects.
