No seriously we just spend a couple hours ripping her up, and pretty soon the paint/sparco products will be trickleing in the mail to make it black and blue. Ill be sure to post pics when the interiors all ready to go :cheers:

Good question :crazy: Honestly what should I do? I'm going to have the body shop mount the front end when they paint it, I dont want paint the hood and have it not fit. Is there a way I can find out if it would clear, other than puting it in someone elses vette so they can drive off with it :auto:

Smokehouse69- Thanks, hopefully :chevy

Desertdawg- Yep, thats why I just paid the extra money and ordered the interior screw kit from Mid-America Corvette :rofl: Though probably a waste of money it takes the guess work out. Although from the looks of it the factory guessed too! They used alot of wierd combination of screws, and there were several missing too :U

QuickVet-Sure is :D and shhhhhhh! :beatdeadhorse:
