Above left: One of the first things we did was to paint the back of the car black above the exhaust in order to better outline its inherent style.
This picture is was taken during the last summer..

Below is our unusual modification...Very few street C5 Corvettes in the US have Momo steering wheels..
Jennifer executed the installation with precision and attention to detail.

The
Momo wheel
has a very nice feel to it. The wheel is wrapped in a comfortable suede
like material that enhances the ability to grip the wheel. The smaller
outer diameter provides a larger angular input to the steering with the
same arm motion, thus decreasing steering response time. The sense of
'control' of the car is greatly enhanced in comparison to the OEM
steering wheel.Here is a side view...
.
.We have modified the cooling system a little with a Ron Davis radiator.
Very Cool...
. And it is wise to use a set of wheels and tires good for the season of use, for safety and performance, wet or dry.
Winter and Summer use.
.Speedline of Italy 2311R, 3 piece modular wheels, custom black centers
9.5 x 17 front, 9.5 x 18 rear
Speedline of Italy Wheels, Yes these winter Corvette wheels ( behind Summer Wheels) were also made by Speedline, somewhat rare.
