Steve,
The vette looks awesome. Be careful with those rags when it gets dusty, you don't want to scratch that paint. ;) The guys at Pacific would be awful upset at you. :D

Must......see......the.......video!

:cheers:

Avery

Smokehouse69 is right. One of the Corvette mags is going to have to do a spread. Beautiful job.

DUDE!

Sweet car man... watched it from like the third series on...

I love that styling man... you might not want to sell, maybe just stretch it 5 inches for more leg room :jester

No seriously have you lowered the floor pans? i'm pretty sure you could tuck the fiberglass thats right behind the seat a little farther back!

Or a can am body style that has the door out a little farther :lol:


Have fun :cheers:
