Your car will grace somebody's magazine cover. Absolutely beautiful! You guys have done an amazing job on that car. I saw a GS Corvette with a ZR1 drivetrain and interior at the Year One Experience in Braselton, Ga. last month. Looked real good, this one might be better!

The car definitely has come a long way, in a fairly short period of time. There have been the usual ups and downs but all in all turning out quite spectacular. It's fun to see all my neighbors rubber necking to see the latest growth on the Vette.

If you use the slideshow, set the speed on at least 8 seconds so you'll have time to read the captions. The images get a bit too small on the slideshow so the best way to view the album is to click on each picture individually.
