James, that is one great looking vette! Do plan to put the wide rear fenders on in the future? She looks great like it is but was just wondering.

Will be a lot more involved than taking a fairly new car and adding goodies to it. Could take years to complete, but talk about making one your own.......

James knows the car looked crap before it got the VetteCave polishing space in Norman, OK last June. It was a real junker when it showed up for pre NCCO Show cleanup. I did not charge James a dime for my professional advice and consultation. I did make him buy a beer for my metal polish for the really filthy exhaust tips!
