The car is a 1994 Z28 with the factory original color, which is Metallic Teal (I will be repainting the same color). The engine is black with chrome/ polished parts (alt, brackets, water neck, intake, rails, elbow, TB, supercharger, a/c aluminum and water pump) are all polished. Basically anything that could be polished was and if it couldn't, it was sent out to be chrome dipped. This car will (for the most part be a show car) So the questions......

1). When I pulled the engine I primed the engine bay, should I go gloss black (old school) roof color or body color?

2). Should I shave the door handles and such? I would need to use a "popper system".

3). Keep the Z28 hood or go aftermarket? I like the SS hood but I am not looking to do a clone.

4). Lowering....how much is too much?

5). Wheels..... I have a set of 20's off another project. With the rubber installed the whole wheel is about a 1/8 inch smaller than the salad shooters. There is a lot of 20" hate out there, for a show car would you do it? BTW I have a set of polished Y2K that I was planning to run when track driven. Should I stick with the Y2K and not bother with the 20"s?

Point of note, I am guessing i am a bit older than most of you, I have had quite a few Bowties. I grew up with a 70 RS that was converted from a 307, a 83 4 banger, 88 Iroc, 94 Z28, 89, 98, 00, 03 Corvettes and currently have a 09 C6 and without a doubt the looks of the 4th gen Z is still my favorite.

Thx for the advise.
