gah, f*in amazon! I moved them to Amazon's cloud storage, and updated the links. Looks like Amazon killed the links. I will go back and fix them this weekend, until then, here is a link to all the photos.

I'll post some pics when its installed, might be a week or two due to surgery.

Yep - It came from American Hydrocarbon in FL. CorvetteMods must be a reseller, I didn't know that at the time.

Color match carbon fiber would be sweet!

I made my own, it came out decent but the guy that painted it did a shoddy job so the clear is starting to peel... the one LG sells is really nice but it is a little pricey... I will probably just have mine repainted at some point

Looks great I was thinking of making my own but then I saw the carbon fiber look and drooled uncontrollably.

Tore the trans down last night, ordering parts hopefully today (waiting on list from shop). Not as bad as we thought, hope to get back on the road in less than 2 weeks. I want to make it to Carlisle this year

Should have the trans back this week, going to reinstall this weekend. Also having a boot fixed on my axle, and replacing an axle seal while I am there. Going to run Royal Purple syncromax as recommended by RPM.

List of stuff to do (HAS to be done before Carlisle, but the sooner the better):
  1. Reinstall trans/diff/subframe/axles
  2. Replace axle seal
  3. Replace boot
  4. Fix meth leak
  5. Install front mesh plate
  6. Clean Plastidip from wheels
  7. Install new batwing oil pan seal (lower)
  8. Oil Change

Woohoo!

Shouldn't be too bad to finish it up!

Do you have the axleback portion of the exhaust installed? I usually throw those on top of the rear cradle before raising it back up just so I don't have to monkey with them later

def not bad to finish up. I didn't install the axle back yet, but with a lift its a 30 second job. If I was working on stands I would have, its a PITA without the car feet in the air.
