Hey Tucker, looking good you did an awesome job painting that trim, and personally I think you made a good choice on the engine not because I suggested it but it just seems that you are kinda going in the restomod direction and with that said I would go with the updated suspension also. I was going to suggest green on the bellhousing too but since the block is going green black may not be a bad choice, but you can always Google Corvette restomods or customs and see if you can find some underneath photos and kinda get an idea that way I'm sure you will figure something out. Oh BTW have you ever tried Bare Metal Foil it's great stuff and takes the headache out of painting trim? looking forward to another update!!
