Looks GREAT!
I always thought Corvettes weren't supposed to look like they had a real engine in them. That's why they covered them up with plastic crap.
Same VC's here with a little something special.
Powder coated Candy Apple Red.

no because that inner fender panel not only closes up behind the wheel, but forms a floor so that the coils arent exposed to the ground. When I reinstalled it, I used some 3M foam tape around the perimeter to help seal it up on the bottom. I drove the car through multiple rain storms on the Hot Rod Power Tour with no significant moisture in that area. I also used dielectric grease on all the boots and connections to help keep moisture out.
