I don't think the spoiler has much to do with that car "hauling", but you could check @ WCC. I've seen it there at one time. That's a great picture, BTW.

The project is moving along.

-I have completed the installation of the suspension system the other week. (Pfadt Coil Overs, Pfatty Sways, VBP Poly Bushings, VBP hevy duty tie rods rear, Bump Steer Kit front, Wilwood 14" Big Brake Kit all the way aound).

- I have removed and sold the maggie supercharger and reinstalled LS6 manifold and injectors w/halltech intake.

- Removed stock radiator and installed new becool manual radiator system.

- Gutted the entire interior. Gauges sent out to (PaceThis) for 300MPH speedo and Z06 Tach. Working on installing bright white LED's into some of the controls.

- Car is being converted from an automatic to stick. New pedals, master slave and resevoir installed. Drive line being dropped this weekend. It's to be replaced with this w/ Textralia twin.



- After that it's back to the body shop to convert from coupe to an FRC and complete the body kit and re-paint NBM.

Hopefully, it will be all put back together by the spring of 2008. After that I'm taking a break for a while and then I'll finish up motor.

thanks for the kind words, the car was a plain C5 with 85K on it when we bought it in 05. It was bought for my son by Me and his Mom as a gift to remember her by. she went to heaven last year after a 10 year battle with cancer. so we work on it and try to make it as nice as we can! again thanks for the kind words.
I have been on here for a while now and i have to say this my favorite C5 i have seen. Love every thing about it. i have the same car(Tr Mn6 Coupe) I just purchased exact same rims in the same sizes. At this time they are going to hang out past the fenders in rear. saving up for the flares. How much will i need to do the flares?

Ive had a wing and custom hood for like 13 years. i change the wing slightly for one almost just like the original one after some idiot drove across the back of my car while it was parked in a parking lot.
the Mod's were done by chevy people at a chevy place and had z06 stuff plus before z06 came out and proto type AC delco drilled and slotted rotors and breaks. for years i had the only vette with them (installed by chevy)
the Wing turns heads its a 1998 and people thought is was a c6 before it came out.
i drive it daily 160,000 miles on it and every day several people a day till me "Nice Car", "I love your car" and so forth. positive feed back has been huge.
its like the Trans am or the Camaro used to have but made just for a corvette, Camaro has suport post in the center this doesnt and trans am has a light on it. I have pic of al angles taken back in 1998. but i think the old avitar shows it

A lot of photos have only an empty box indicating "it has been removed". Why is that?
