Anyone know if the motive gears in this link will work with the upgraded mainshaft? I have had some people tell me motive doesn't make a 30 spline gear set that will work in the C5 differential. According to the ad they do but just wanted to make sure before I pulled the trigger and they didn't work. Was told it may be a typo but wanted to double check. Any info is greatly appreciated.

NNNOOOOO!!!!! anything but white!! White is not a color!! It's the absence of color.

Just kidding, looks like you guys are doing a great job. Wish I had time to do something like this with my son.

Thanks I really appreciate it. Always wanted a white Corvette so what better way than to do it myself.

We really have a great time working on stuff like this. I'm sure it wont be the last car we do.

Looks like you'll have almost new car when done. Wish I had more time to tinker on car projects.
