Default R8C delivery complete! Pics of CRT dual stripes

Flew into Nashville Wednesday night in prep for R8C experience last Thursday. Shane set everything up with Lori's help and it couldn't have gone smoother. Ron Barton was our guide/host and did a spectacular job. Ron met us there at 7:30. Ron used to work on the Corvette production line until retiring and joining the NCM, so he can answer just about any question you can think of. The NCM is fantastic! The tour of the factory is way more fun and interesting than expected. Came back and spent an hour in the Corvette store. Spent $500.00 and came home with a trunk full of Corvette goodies. The wife really loved the entire experience! I got a good one!! Here's a few pics.
And the car????.......holy crap! What Chevy did with this car is simply amazing.

Great looking vehicle! Your write up and photos make me anxious for my museum delivery a few weeks down the road.

Very, very nice looking car. The black stripes, Crystal Red, tinted windows and black wheels look great together! Your neighbors are probably jealous...

Congratulations!

I dig the stripes. If I were ordering one it would be cyber grey with inferno orange stripes. I built one out other other day and that's the combo I drooled over.

I don't like stripes. Those stripes are sweet. Those stripes now I have to have. Maybe it's the color of the car.
