Hello fellows
I wanted to share a few pictures of a car that I recently picked up a few months back and been trying to get completed as I originally had in my mind.
The wheels on the inferno car were custom built and came from a forum vendor on here, James with @WHEEL DESIGNERS(cannot say enough good things about this company).
Car has been on the quickjacks for quite sometime perfecting everything on the car and it feels really good to be 95% through with this build and seeing everything come together as I envisioned.
Last plans for the car is to throw a Dewitts radiator, Prospeed fan setup, and Mechman alternator on the car(I live in Texas so this is a MUST for this climate we have here).
I also threw in a picture of my black z06 that I helped put together as well.
I debated on selling this car and just purchasing/building a zr-1, but very happy having both cars as they drive very differently and having the best of both worlds.
I hope everyone enjoys the pictures and if you have any questions about either car, just let me know and I will be happy to answer anything.

I beat myself up every day for not buying inferno orange. Such a good color. Gorgeous car and cool build. A black halo/roof would set it off nice but either way looks great.

Thank you, I appreciate that. The car actually had a black halo and roof on it whenever I purchased it but it was a very subpar job so I removed it.
I was debating putting one back on it and I most likely will thanks to your suggestion as I was swaying back and forth on it!

The rear wheels on the black Z06 are sick. What is the size of the lip?
Thank you, they are Forged 360 wheels and I think they are either 4.5" or 5", the orange car has 4" chrome lips on it but they do not stand out as much due to the spokes protruding a bit.
Whenever I find the time, I will take better photos of both cars together and share on here.
Just curious, what is your favorite c6 color? Carlisle or Lemans Blue perhaps?

No, my favorite color for Corvettes is white. That's the color of my 2012 GS. The first car I bought myself was a 1995 Firebird and it was white. Had a whopping 160 hp V6.
I couldn't afford a Trans-Am or anything at the time, so when I finally got my Corvette, it was a tribute to my old Firebird.
But interesting enough I had a 2004 Cavalier that was my daily driver and it was orange I loved that car and had it for 16 years, and almost 200k miles.

I too love the white on black combo and perhaps even a bit of red in the interior to compliment it as well.
I think you can definitely say that you got your moneys worth out of that car!
I love blue Corvettes and my NRB 2013 always makes me smile. While I'm not usually a fan of orange cars...Inferno Orange is one of the best colors on a C6. Just gorgeous!

Maybe you could find someone to wrap your car in IO?
The Inferno Orange GS convertible with Cashmere top and interior was on my short list last winter when shopping, but it didn't tickle my wife. We agreed on the Crystal Red Tintcoat with Cashmere, hence one is in our garge today.
QUESTION: An HPS supercharger nearly doubles the horse power of an LS3? How does that get accomplished? Does the engine purr or puke at idle?
Sorry I have not been on here in a minute but I wanted to share a few more recent pictures of the car(picked up another set of wheels for the car)...
I hope you guys have been well and enjoy the pictures!

CRT is the best color. I have never seen one with Cashmere but I'll bet it is great.
@stangin4lyfe Full size radiator? I am still chasing cooling with my car. It has an A&A V-3 Ti+. I just added some air grabbers in the driving light cutouts. Hope that works. If not I might have to try a full sized radiator. I hear it can be done.

I went down the same path and my car has the same kit on it and I am in DFW, TX(very hot summers here).
Thank you, I appreciate it. I am an auditor by trade so I am a bit picky when it comes to details and so forth.
It's a 1955 Big Window 3100 Restomod, 5.3(LS based), 4L60E, C4 corvette IRS, C5 z06 brakes, vintage air, the list goes on and on, etc...
It is a truck that my father and I built for him before he passed away from cancer.
I am considering selling it here in the future, here are a couple pics of it...
