Default UPS came by today

UPS delivered my C6 shifter and set of tire pressure sensors for my vert today. I ordered them from Gene at Beans a couple days ago and they are already here.

Still waiting for the big item to arrive. Bought a set of chrome c6 z06 wheels in 18" from Bob at house of wheels. Should be here by the end of the week.

YOu will LOVE the shifter!

I originally planned on replacing the whole thing.. (removing the star bolts and dropping the whole thing in there)
But decided to just replace the shaft(was easier).

Ordered a custom shift boot (C5 base, C6 neck) from Auger Resources - (designed it on Saturday, installed it that Thursday)

good luck

Jack,

You'll love it. If you want we can drop it in at my house Sunday. We can get Taylor to do it while we drink beer.

Peace
