Yes Sir, that looks great! I hope mine looks that good!!!

Surf was fun, I always find a day at the beach is much more fun than sweating in the garage! but the downside is no work getting done,

You will NOT go wrong with having Brian and ScreaminPerformance do work for you! Just look thru my pics and you can see how meticulous his work is!

Yep, hoping to get her fired up in the next week! Stay tuned!

Your progress looks good. I have my Nova very close to firing up naturally aspirated, but that will all go on hold for the next week while I go on a hiking trip to CO with my son's Youth Group. I can totally relate with balancing the time and money with the kids - 2 teenagers take a lot of both.

I really like the way your frame uses the Corvette control arms. After daily driving my '99 C5 for the past 113k miles, I can tell you they handle well. Keep on with the pictures. By the way - be careful on your driveshaft measurement. I had to take my brand new 4" dia shaft back to be shortened because I missed the measurement somehow. Oops.

Whats up Steve? Wheres the updates? Just kiddin with ya, I have been in the garage for the past week and a half every night doing something. I like checking out your progress, it keeps me wanting to move forward. I only have a few more things to do today and if all the stars are aligned and there is no wind maybe just maybe this thing will pop off. Good luck!!! Did you get the rest of your suspension?

ahh, ain't really done much, been working too much but that will end soon, I'm doing little stuff here and there,

the bad part about GM is they make 3 different lower control arms for a C6, been working on which one it is, may order next week,

did buy the wife a D90 Nikon, so now we'll see how good the pics get!!

other than that I don't have lot to post about, wish I had more time,

The very last shuttle launch has gone off, work is coming to a end for me,

I did find the difference in the control arms, Corvette forums are great, just had to dig for the answer!!!

So, monday I will be ordering the otherside, and today I might be installing the sub on the nose of the car, we'll see,

Well I hate to hear someone else in America is losing a job but I am sure you will have no problem finding another one with your talents and attention to detail. Glad you figured out the difference in suspension parts. Now get your *** to work and lets see some progress while I am doing nothing until my new harness and etc comes in!! Lol just kiddin but not really! I want to see this car crank by the end of summer or else! Do me and BMF need to come visit you and help out? I will for sure!!!
