Default Where does the time go??

I was looking through my many pictures in my smugmug archive and realized the drastic changes ive made to my vette over the last few years. Kind of crazy to look back and see the pictures of then and now.

I thought i would share a few, first from when i got it to what it looks like now.

The week i bought it... i was a proud papa


Pristine and unmolested


New wheels and lowered


Rear break ducts


New seats


New CF hood and tiger shark


New LEDs and tailights


NOOOO i wasnt happy i had to tear apart the motor in a already superior car.




Maybe this was just another selfless post and another chance to show off my car...... I was just looking through old pictures and couldnt believe the time and money i have spent on a car that is already in my opinion the best AMERICAN ICON.

I always wonder where the time goes. My motto is live each day like it's your last, within reason of course.

You have really transformed your car. Looked good, but now looks amazing! Good Job! Those wheels are really nice

What you have done is simply expand on the already fine platform that the C5 is. The mods you've done are excellent.

Beautiful car! I'll be 64 this year and it seems just like yesterday that I was 18. I'm not sure where the time goes, but it goes by too quickly.
