Wow, you even make it look good in a snowy industrial park. What brand wheels are those? I like that they aren't black which IMO are way too common now on the Arctic White Zs.

The blue accents look black to me in those pics John. Is it tinted blue? Would love to see some close ups of the contrast between the white and the blue. If it is what I'm thinking it is, I bet it is killer!

As always, fantastic stuff, John! One request, would you be so kind as to put up a pic of the "inspiration" vehicle? It's always cool to see the influence on design.

Default John,

Your work, over the years is without doubt is some of the best craftsmanship and attention to detail I have ever seen. it is why I drove to Canada and had you do the full interior on my C6 TwinTurbo convertible, and why I have gotten several of your upgrades for the C7. Who makes the wheels on this new one, HRE or someone else? They are beautiful
