Just give me a address.

Man, that sucks. Did it jack up your ZR1's? Just gonna swap everything over???
Both fenders, both quarter panels , and the driver side door are all toast. The passenger side fender took the most damage when I hit the guard rail. I'm pretty sure my frame is bent because my radiator support was crushed and shifted towards the drive side. I drove the car home and it was pulling to the left pretty bad. I'm just not looking forward to swapping all the parts.

I'm still thanking GOD that no one got hurt!!!!!!

Karl, I will leave you key with Craig or somebody so you can get in. Still haven't got any dates yet. At least I will have money for drag wheels now.

I'm going to take my time and not rush anything, to ensure I do things right and not make the same mistakes I did with the Iroc. May it R.I.P.

Got back two hours ago from the test drive, I was so excited I forgot to take some pics. But the car looks the same as photos in the link above. The car should be in my drive way no later than Saturday. The only problem I had with car was when I stepped on the gas it felt like I was going in slow motion LOL. That will change shortly!!!!!!! It's a very clean car and I kinda don't want to touch it, but it's still just a car.

What happened to the phone call? I need a 40 amp fuse and holder, a small eyelet connector, and then tuck a few other wires into the flex tube. Then I need to do the line lock and the underhood wiring will be done. Then I got to wire in the switch panel and install the bottle mount and the inside will be done. Went to the parts store and couldn't find a weather tight fuse connector. Guess I will have to look online. Don't like all the crap that needs to be wired up for the linelock so I will wire it up like the slp linelock on the 97 I think.

I should be out tonight with my slow 92 I picked up yesterday. I'm going to try to fix the Iroc because that's a lot work to swap parts.

Craig, Call me when your free tomorrow. I will be here this weekend and want to get the car done. Bring whatever you think we'll need. If I can get it to where it needs the bung done and skill shop stuff then I will be happy.
