Talking about wheels, guess what I'm up to?

Looks great Craig. So did you drop the block back into the car or are you waiting for IHs, cam covers, and plenum?

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the comment. I dropped it in a few days (entire drivetrain complete) ago and working what I can without the other items. I'll put on the headers, etc. tomorrow and by Tues I should be ready for the other items. A slight setback about my plenum and the coating got damaged during porting so it has to go back for recoating; I know more when it arrives.

YESSSSSSSS! I don't know why, but against a red car that black looks too sweeeeet!

I hope that was the look you were going for? Not too much polished aluminum and not too much blacked out wheel. Nice color balance, nice job!

They came out Great! The black picks up the black molding strip around the car perfect.

Tom and Rick,

Thanks for the comments and I have to tell you these photos don't do these wheels any justice. I'll shoot some good photos outdoors once I get this beast running probably will be at the Corvettes in Paradise Concours on Labor Day weekend..........if I don't have any issues from here on out.

I saw a C6 that looks wicked with the roof and pillars black as well as a portion of the hood and top of the rear area but I don't think I would get crazy like that. I know Chip Foose could design something very cool..........

Hey Craig....it's your car. I've seen that type of color scheme on other 5's & 6's that started out as red cars and well I think it looked cool!

of course keep in mind that statement is coming from a guy that thinks two silver stripes on a black car, like the shelby mustangs racing stripes, would look great.

Tom,

Yeah, I'm like Rick and like my ride unique and one of a kind if possible.

Thanks,

Craig
