Man, you had put so much into your Vette, and it was looking real nice... Glad you're otherwise good after the accident.

Beautiful Vette, your interior is one of the best I have seen in a C5, like what you did with the CCWs, how much to do what you did on the rims

Total? I believe for the powder coat and the thin red stripe on the inside were about $430.

Thank you very much and you are right! No the bastard! Thinking about a pink vette someone posted in Lancaster, would look real nice with a paint job!

Sorry for your loss. It was looking so good too.

Years ago when I was a kid my Dad and I were driving in his 55 Chevy and hit a deer at about 50 mph. The car was creamed and it was steel, not plastic. Glad you're OK!


P.S. Were those the APsis custom seats? Love the Skulls.

That's one of my fears driving home at night. I live out in the "woods" and I see deer every single night. I've been lucky thusfar.
