Welcome to the forum and to the Corvette brotherhood!

Don't worry Evil-Twin will grow on you, (well maybe not).
I think he does enjoy wearing the metal cup though.

Great place, great people, enjoy!

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for all the positive comments, and yeah i do have to get the Tiger Sharks re-aligned, when I had them installed they said, I may need to bring them back after they settle. Maybe spot weld, what do you think about spot welding these.
