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

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.)

Saw my first Z06 about a month ago and it was striking in Velocity Yellow.

And while your under hood goodies looks good, a wee bit too much yellow going on for my taste.

But it does look classy!!

I'm curious...does this car get driven?!? You always have some new goody to share and that engine bay is cleaner than my car was whennit was new...I wish I could keep my C7 as pristine but as a DD it has quite a bit of "character" now with over 7000miles since last November.

So beautiful!

5th gen Camaro and C7 Corvettes are the only vehicles I like in yellow.

You nailed it sir.

Looks like very good work and glad you like it.

I personally have grown very fond of the internal combustion engine over the years and want it covered up as little as possible. I'd rather have a hot woman in a bikini than a burka any day.

Thanks, everyone, for the compliments...and comments. I know that what I do isn't going to appeal to everyone, and that's perfectly okay.

Well, I'm almost to 11,000 miles if that counts. But that's 11,000 miles in 18 months. Not a daily driver, but still gets dirty and needs a good cleaning every so often.

Should have taken a couple shots from the exact same angle with the hood closed. Then meld the two shots together in Photoshop.

Looks great. I can appreciate all the detailing work. I will not show you mine, just factory GM.

So did you drive down to Steve's shop in order to have him custom paint your hood?
