Let me be the first... errr... maybe the millionth to say that the work looks absolutely top notch. It is way over the top for my taste, but I'm certainly glad that there are people out there to put together cars like this to look at.

Every time I see one of these threads.. and the finished product I think.. This is one of, if not the.. best looking Vette I have seen.. surely there is not anything else he can do to it.. Then another thread is started and I thinking the same thing.. all over again.

Jim - your car is just amazing!
