Alberto - you've done very well! Looks great!

Alberto - . I'm somewhat partial to silver 85's anyway, but I've got to tell ya, you have one hell of a looker!!! the C5 wagon wheels look better on a C4 than they ever did on a C5. on a C5, they're kind of an ugly wheel, but for some reason, and I've said this more than once, they fit the C4 lines to a tee. nice job on the interior too, in fact, everything about the car is first class. again, a nice job. you should be proud!

these wheels are a surprise for me,as most of you guys,when a friend from my club showed pics to me i said "ugly and worst wheels ever fit under a corvette" but it was a good deal,plus they were 4 x 18" and i bought these ...when i put that bad boys in my Vette i said "wow seems like they were designed for a C4".i wanna say thank you guys ,all of you, for your nice words.

As you can see to put C5 "wagon" having my 85' an offset of 36-38mm vs 56mm i had to put big spacercers 30 mm at the rear and 23 mm front.not a big fan of spacers but on early 85' you haven't choice.
if you look at the 2nd pic, previous post, you can see behind me a shop car lifter,my friend had a good deal and bought it ,now we are free to lift our car when needed.

As told the car has minor modds,my L98 need more work,we are planning some radical work,it wil be our winter project,still thinking about a whole new engine like a 406.I love the L98 low torque and i would like to blend into one low torque and a best breathing engine capable of revving in the 6000s.My next intake will be a Miniram,i think a fresh 406 from Tri Star Engine coupled with a Miniram would be a killer engine.i've to plan a container shipping during the summer,we have a friend making import/export in New Jersey,he will reserve a little room for my bad boy...let see if i will be able to show you guys a new fresh engine bay next fall/winter...

Safety Car
You sure know how to stage a car in a picture. You should be doing it for a living! Your pictures could have been used in sales brochures for the C4 Corvette when they were new. Simply amazing how beautiful the car looks in those pictures.

I have to be honest,i've searched the best location around my town.Was searching the best night color for my night pics,find a spot with big red lights,and i've called my friend to give me departures of cruiseships from San Marco,he said to me " Costa Magnifica is putting to sea at 5 pm and is exepected to be at the lighthouse in Bocca di lido at 6 pm o'clock " so i 've prepared my set and parked the car in front of the beach near the mouth,waiting the big sea monster and then i've shooted a few pics in a cloudy afternoon. Thanks for your fine comments

I've never liked the look on those wheels on C5s, but your Vette looks very clean with them on. The silver/silver combo worked out great.
