Default John Bourg's Project Insanity..

Shagster (Neil) and I started yesterday on forum member JohnCBourg 03 Z06 insanity project. John is in the process of adding a TigerShark front bumper, L5 Fender flairs, a Caravaggio rear spoiler and some big ol meats out back to complete the look. Here are the first nights pics of us tearing into Johns car. I don't think John expected us to have his car torn apart in under 20 minutes!!!! He kept calling the garage a "chop shop"

Tearing into her....

John appears a little dizzy from all the fast work of us tearing his baby apart.....

John took this home and slept with it under his pillow...

I have a best bud from a GM Dealer that will take everything back apart before he paints, but Neil and Joe are fitting everything before hand which will make this project get done faster.

Where are you going with that



Neil with Mad Skillz





Uh...no comment



No words



More Pics











Wheels and Tires being mounted today

Pics of wheels later today
