Your ride is so cool! That is the first time I've seen those rear fender flares done properly to include the wide stone guards....makes it look correct....well done, and others should learn from you!

I like your C5 alot. Modded 'verts look very cool. One thing that caught my eye. In your third pic where you can see the trunk top I noticed you removed the emblem. I was amazed how much cleaner the whole rearend looks with it removed. I've considered doing this myself, especially since on my Z I removed the antenna and had the hole filled. This might be another thing I need to do.

Nice Z! When I had the car painted I decided I liked the car better with the emblems off.
Thanks!

Thanks for the photos. My "63 is in photo #9. I am the original owner of it and it has 505,000 miles on it. Travelled in all lower 48 states, Washington DC, and all the Canadian provinces. We think there are only 20 Vettes with over a half million miles on them.

Thanks again for the posting.

I saw your car up close on Friday. Nice to see someone get that many miles behind a sweet mid year. I bet you have a lot of good memories!
