Default Few Corvettes in the Shop.... photos

When I walked in this morning one row of hoists was all Corvettes, so I figured I'd shoot a few photos.

Yeah the Nassau Blue car does look good, but are those fart cans on the exhaust or are they mufflers turned down/dumped but just exposed.

I'm not sure what's up with the exhaust on the blue car. The mufflers almost look like motorcycle mufflers. It was built by another shop and we are fixing some issues the customer had with it.

The white one is a 2006 A6 Auto and the customer is having us install and paint all of the factory Z06 body panels, a ZIP Products carbon fiber hood, Z06 suspension, Z06 brakes, 19" & 20" HRE Wheels, our 404 CI stroker Engine with CNC heads, D-1SC Procharger, and built Transmission.

In the past 4 years, we've probably done about half GM/half Ford, but did start out in the Ford business.

Bob, Everything that comes in is as clean, or cleaner when it leaves

Forgive my ignorance (and I know that it is in this case) but I was under the impression that Vettes couldn't be lifted with those types of lifts? Or is that specifically for the C5 (which I have)?

Sweet rides!

Grant,

To lift a Corvette, you need a set of "jacking pucks" so you can lift the car without damage. This is the same way any GM dealership would lift the car.

Thanks. After my experience (or lack thereof) with Sears yesterday - I was just curious. Makes sense, I appreciate it.
