If I could do anything with my car right now, it would be to duplicate your setup. (As much as I really like my stock cassette deck!)

It looks awesome. Congrats.

Nope

I am throwing around the idea of opening a shop, but not until after my wife finishes nursing and can support us both on her income.

I'll get some better pics I promise.

Corvette Customs shop basically, ranging from performance, stereo, to body. I'm probably going to start with an online store with some items I can have made locally and then go from there. An actual physical location will have to wait though.

I've recently started experimenting with painting on my 1971 Monte Carlo and I'm getting pretty damn good that and I have a local airbrush artist that can airbrush for me, and she is a hell of a lot cheaper than "professionals". I'll personally stick with solid colors for now as I have no eye for actual art.

Working on the load up screen right now, I'll save it in different colors to match cars if anyone wants the file.

Mine will be Electron Blue of course
