A Sweet Silver Vette coming back. That is going to look awesome, but I hope you won't be afraid to drive it.

yeah, I am loving the darker shade...almost a cyber gray. Distinctively different than the original silver.

I think I am going to go with black rims, black trim, and tint the windows.

Looks good........I'm partial to the color choice.

What color is that if you don't mind sharing? It doesn't look as dark as the cyber grey.

I'll ask - we had the original silver and then a couple of shades darker. I chose darker.

Body is done - putting it in its home for the next few months while I finish up the chassis. I don't have the color name...but it is a few shades darker than the original silver. Looks amazing!

Very cool!
Those cut outs under the bumper were used buy the factory to pick the car up.
It looks similar to the charcoal metallic grey used on the 82 corvettes.
