V-seriesTech-Man I have so many pics of your FRC saved on my laptop. I think it is definitely one of my favorites and oftentimes the car I show others when they are considering a C5. Great work!

Thanks a lot bro, that means a lot to me man. It's been hard work but, with comments like yours, it's all worth it. I have a few more ideas for it exterior wise,..it isn't done by any means... just working with whatever budget I can come up with for the car. It's hard to know what to mod next...but, the to do list is long. We'll see how the new trans works, then maybe I will try and do a thing or two exterior wise. Thanks again, sincerely appreciate it.

Agreed, and thank you. It's really hard to screw these things up, they look so good outta the box but....every now and then, it'll happen lol.

Lets see some more PICS!!!

Thanks I'd put the wing on that 01 of yours, and paint or wrap the roof black. How do you pick between 2 vettes everyday? lol

Lol, trust me I would not be able to but the 01 is gone now. It is just the Vette, the Z28, and the Silverado now so it is real easy to pick which one I want to take on nice days!
