you know everyone has an opinion on spoilers and body kits, but I have to say, the paint finish looks beautiful, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and owner. Best of luck with your beautifully finished resto..nice paint, for sure.
I have a very small tail spoiler on my 86' so I am not judging..just curious about other comments. nice wheels, and it's not sitting trashed in a garage anymore..fantastic!
post more pics, a nice profile view of the side shots would be interesting to see. Best of Luck with her, Derek

Looks like you gave her a bit of the "35th Anni" white & black treatment...

The workman ship looks very good and I see you did something I've been thinking about. The top and halo are painted black and that looks nice. Those wheels have the deepest inset of any I've seen on a vette and go with the overall look of the car. One thing about it you don't have just another cookie cutter car.

Nice job. Not my cup of tea but regardless, came out well. I want to know how you'll do at a car show. Keep us posted.
