Thanks man,

Right now the bill is $5,120.00, I do believe the hardest part was the tunnel fabrication work. I used my dremmel for that part, worked great. Over all It's not that bad, it's just gathering all of the technical information that takes a long time (and waiting for all the parts to arive). I've got two different corvette manuals plus one Cd and another on the way. I just hope everything works. :)
