Looks awsome tom, I hope once the blower is done and it's tuned up we're going to see you at the track with it....

It will probably only get one trip to the track. I expect the car to be deep into the 11s so they won't like seeing a convertible running that without a cage.

You sound so calm, it takes a lot of guts to tear that car apart. Looks great though.

I was calm when I first saw the car today but on the inside I was dancing around like Snoopy at a Christmas party

Almost done! Everything would have been wrapped up yesterday but the wrong inner fenders came in. Just waiting for those, the scoops for the front fenders on the rear Corvette emblem. The holes on the front fenders were filled so I didn't have to use the export lights and the front emblem won't be going on. I think that takes away from the lines at the scoop opening. Also need to put the black lower air dam on the front.















You'll notice that the C5 Z06 Replica wheels wrapped with 275 tires look like donuts in these openings. The new wheels/tires will fill these openings nicely

There were a few small parts that took awhile to come in/haven't arrived yet so I brought the car home Friday so I could take care of the Magnuson and Z06 brakes. It will then go back to the body shop for a few hours so they can take care of a few small things and do some cleaning. The pictures only give you an idea of what it looks like. It's much better in person! I'll take some better shots after everything is done.
