It was my pleasure Oak... I had a lot of fun and the company was great!! I got to learn more about my Vette this weekend than I have since I first got it

I thought we all made a pretty good team!! We'll OK, you guys all did well and I held you back but...

I agree JoeyG impressed me too!! The guy gets after it! You rock Joe!! I need to feel the rush of Nitrous!!

Shannon, thanks for your efforts... hope I didn't irritate you too much bud. I can be a real pain!! Maybe we'll be down to do a mod or two to that "plain ol' Vette" of yours??

Josh, Oak made me whittle a new axle handle for him before I left!! Dang... (Teasing bud - When's your dad gonna let you drive????

Ivan, the "C6Z06" dude... Good help and like Oak, I want a ride next time too!!

Nouman... Um well... since you weren't there... Slacker!!!
I hope your feeling better bud!! You'd have thought I'd at least come see you huh?

Oak, I wish I lived closer to you.. we could be a new shop doing work for fun called "Midwest Corvettes limited - Limited only by your imagination!!" (Or bank account )



I'm ready to do it again...!!

you are right lori it is a family , and anytime you and charlene want to come help out , just come on out to good ol' missouri and jump right in , we will let you anytime


and jon that sounds good but they would need real deep pockets cuase we are so thorough we do it several times to make sure its right , or as we say here in my shop mock it up first to make sure it is right , be4fore we bolt it down
