Lurking no longer

Hello, I've been lurking around the site for several weeks and just joined recently. It has become my favorite place to visit. I've learned quite a bit especially in the LS1 internal section.

I bought my Z06 last fall. It had only 8800 miles on it! I've just started doing some mods this spring. Will start doing some perf. stuff soon. Installing a HUD this weekend. Great being here

I'll post some pics when my daughter brings my digital camera home from college. The car is fast!!! I plan to get some new rubber(335's) and wheels(CCW's) this summer and then start in on the peformance mods.

Thanks guys. Installed a HUD today then went to dinner. A cop came up to us as we were leaving and told us that some kid doing doughnuts in the parking lot hit my car.

The Z only had 12K on it. Busted up the left rear fender and rear fascia.

Need the name of a good corvette body shop sw or w side of Chicago.

Thanks
