When you're installing a polished case Tremec -- that's saying "show car" to me...

IMO I think what's big right now are "industrial" type coatings. Greys, blacks, silvers.. more matte finishes.

Besides, polished is too much work. lol

there is plenty of metal in a corvette that can rust I had to replace the whole inner body frame which is metal on a 71 that I got from Michigan

Very common to have to replace the birdcage on the C3. Top of the windshield frame traps water - and very soon it rusts through the upper frame and starts flooding the inner structure of the birdcage tubes right into the foot wells.

Ahh, that's hard to get on here sometimes..

It's why I always TRY to add ROFLMA faces or whatever is appropriate - because some of the times you're not trying to be real serious - but just having some fun -- or lobbing the grenade in the room (I like doing that because it gets people posting and usually makes for some interest) -- Some people take EVERYTHING you say and want to start a big argument.

The reason I like Lat G - is because there's so little of that.

They better bring more then bolt-on parts to the party for baddest vette honors.

Like Steve said - look at C1-RS, and TwinSting and others out there that set the bar sky high.

And there are some off the chart C6 cars out there now too that are nearing full blown race cars on the street.

But maybe those were Baddest Vettes in the Universe winners... :)

Sorry, I'm not slamming their project - it looks like it could be a great project and stepping into some new territory. Just making the point that there are some amazing vettes already out there and to top them will take a lot of effort.
