Thats unfortunate because Brian was a good guy. I have heard a rumor that the mods are willing to go as far as banning lifetime supporting members for some things. Shame. I have never seen so many people get kicked off in such a short time here.

I have an 03 that was converted to a convertible and it is a very nice car...looks like the factory did it...

Now though, I'm starting to get 427 C6 fever

I saw a 99 speedway white FRC for sale with 105kmi for 15k. Take another 15, or so and drop an ECS built 427 with dry sump. For 30--35K you can beat up on the C6Z, and look better doing it.

Thx bro. I am familiar with the Caravaggio. I just don't have the mullah to send her up there for the surgery... I always hear about GB helping people out with the mod I was hoping maybe he or someone had a how-to. Or maybe someone not too far away from KC knows how to make it so

Wait a minute. I dont remember Bryan helping with the vert mod. I am pretty sure it was Illmac77, a guy named Rich, and GB that did the work.

I also here that Rich's 03Z is going under the knife in a few short months. Targa Z conversion.
