Default Went to Hi Flo today...

Saw many parts wrapped up ready to ship, a HUGE MAMOTH thing of bubble wrap and many parts next to it waiting to be shipped. I also PERSONALLY TOUCHED many hot/cold parts for fbodies (they werent hot when i touched em HEYO!).

Im also removing my current turbo kit because i sold it for personal reasons, and bill asked me if id do some test fitting of the corvette stuff while my car was apart so that he can use all his time on the fbody stuff. I told him NP as i wanted to help out the cause of everyone getting their stuff.

http://www.camarozach.com/gallery - corvette hot parts - uncoated set. look great imo. its a shame they have to be coated haha

I think they are on the road to recovery if everyone would just stop bandwagoning about the issues, bill himself even said yes its a delay, and yes its a problem, but hes there and working.

All i can report on is what i saw and heard. I have no crystal ball to predict the future, but bill is there and workin and theres parts all over.

Nice update Zach. It's amazing how quickly the "mob" mentality can take over in situations such as this.

How quickly? It's been almost a year now and most of us have jack ****, and what we do have is incomplete. I wouldn't say anything in this situation has progressed quickly.
