Yes, I really did remove the hood to get these engine shots

Thanks, everyone! 
Cool idea...and can definitely be done. The car isn't moving from that spot until next Wednesday.
I haven't tucked any of my hoses. I think you are referring the Z51 hose setup and mine is a base Stingray.
Absolutely nothing wrong with factory GM.
Yep!

Thanks, everyone! But no transparent hood for me.

Steve Ray does great work - he did my Stingray and Z06. I stopped in his shop to introduce myself last year.
[QUOTE=jagamajajaran;1589427466]But getting these shots wasn't the primary reason we removed the hood. If you're wondering what in the world I'm doing now, all I will say at this time is that Steve Ray helped me with the hood removal today. It was actually the first time either of us had removed a C7 hood. (Very easy to do...remove the four black bolts that hold the hood to the hinges and lift the hood off the hinges.)
