And while the color is great, the timt really shows it off. Excellent and thanks.

I had a few colors picked out when paint tume came. All were factory vette colors, steel blue metallic (rare c4), medium spiral grey metallic (late c5) and cyber grey metallic (c6). Msg was the only one i had seen in person and liked. My second choice was the steel blue. Just google corvette and color name and go to images tab.

Also, snapped a pic at work.....I don't always notice because I'm in the car but these things are tiny compared to the new f250s.

I have a red 1980 i just am finishing the build. 400 hp same side pipes as your and also am doing exactly same hood red with black center. your car looks awesome!!. just two quick questions, the tint looks like what we used to call 80% do they call it 20% now with 20% light showing through/ and also what size and type wheels are those, I never wanted aftermarket wheels until I saw yours...Thanks Lou

20% is a happy medium between light and dark.
