Default Redo the Redo on Garage Squad-Velocity channel

My car is the Season Finally Episode 13 Season 3. It will be awesome. Will post a few photos. 515 HP, Tripower, T56, Tom's 4.11, VB&P Performance plus suspension. Dragvette 6 link, Two tone black and red interior. Side exhaust. ZIP CORVETTE was instrumental in supplying needed components. Build started Thursday. As you watch the episode remember it is TV, It is staged for the storyline. Drama and putting the creativity on the staff is what sells. Everyone has been sociable and with my career change it was going to be a while before I could do this. Filming started Thursday Aug 18. Reveal should be Wed Aug 24. It is in Joliet IL if anyone wants to show up I will post address on Tues night if all goes well and I can.
