Default One down and one to go....

Spent the last two weeks in my spare time cleaning, upgrading and installing new stuff on Lori's Car. Today I finished her up and she is ready for the trip to BG. I upgraded the front DRL's with SwitchBacks from Richard at Corvette Enhancements. Installed new Race Mesh Black Power Coated Screens from Chip at CCA. Changed the oil, clean the engine and cleaned the entire car all around.

She is doing good. She had another operation this past Friday, Gallbladder removal. Now some more healing time... I'm hoping she will be recovered for the trip to BG...
