Default Vette back from paint shop! Pics of red vette with red interior

Hi all,

The Vette is finally back from the paintshop with all the bumpers
Here are pictures of our Mille Miglia red vette taken May 28, 2003 (yesterday)! We were all caught by surprise by how beautiful the red came. :cool: I was a bit worried that a red interior would look a bit funny, but it actually looks great as well! The engine is still blue (we bought the car blue) but otherwise we just have some small things and annoyances left to do.

Pretty. You said you bought it blue, but what was the original color? Not that it matters, just curious.

Looks great.

That paint looks excellent! What made you decide to paint the rocker panel trim red? That's a different look that you don't see too often.

I like the red rockers. Did you do any of the work yourself?

AWESOME! What might that be under the cover next to the Vette? Is it another Vette perhaps?
