Since I'll be running Hoosiers, today's art project was to add some paint protection film to the leading edge of the flares to reduce stone chip damage. Since nobody makes a PPF kit for a flared C3 Corvette, I had to create the template and hand cut the film. I started by using contact paper to create the right shape on the car. Then, I transferred the shape from the contact paper to the PPF. After cutting the PPF to shape, it went on the car fairly easy. I think it turned out pretty good. You can barely see the film line in the last photo.

Neil I think it is time for a spoiler similar to yours! First pic is before it was completed but it is a better pic. Neil any issues with your spoiler being too big and scrapping? I am concerned of hitting it and cracking the fiberglass, your thoughts? Thanks

I am planning to run some local autocrosses this Spring, so I spent some time setting up the rear suspension. I added new Viking Crusader double adjustable shocks with the 'AP' valving. I adjusted the 6 link for .5 degree negative camber at ride height. I have .8 - 1 degree negative camber at full compression. The axle clips have been removed and I've verified no bind through full suspension travel. I also added a rear tow hook from Vintage Exotics. My new shop dog helped me by licking my ears the entire time.

Great car there Neil, planning on doing the something similar with my 79, trying to figure out how to strike a good balance between a "race car" and something my wife isn't a afraid to ride in. Interior especially, I see you found the right set of wings there vice those lead ones from the B team. Got a semi on the vids, keep posting.
