Orange and red? Together?! However the rest of it is pretty slick, nice  |

First Corvette I ever saw was a '60 in red and white, that one made me go Wow!, this one makes me go Oww!. Guess I'm getting old.

Well i like that a lot. The orange is a nod to the original colour of the engine.   |

I like that a lot. All the details and the overall result. That engine isn't original though - is it a newer Vette engine?

Gorgeous car. Whels are nice but would look better a bit smaller. The engine looks nice, really stands out, nice surprise when you open the bonnet.

The wheels are big inch billet versions of the stock hub caps. Look awesome to me smaller wheels would lose the point.

From a purely aesthetic point of view, other than being pretty clever and extremely well finished, I have to say it doesn't do anything that the original does. I expect it drives about a million times better than the original. The interior is tasteful but looses most of the charm of the original, kind of like a well made kit car. I think I would have aimed to keep the instrumentation and steering wheel stock looking.
I really don't like massive wheels with mega low profiles on old yankee tin and this is no exception, however I do think the style of them is genius and I can see the point of them entirely. I think the problem I have with very large diameter wheels is that even when the tyre section IS quite wide, they still look tall and skinny. To me, they'd look a lot better, a few inches smaller with a tiny bit more sidewall and most importantly a bit more poke to bring them out a bit and then drop it right down onto them.
can't argue with the quality though which looks to be nothing short of spectacular, especially the body and paintwork.
