I decided the rear of my 03Z06 looked like a sea of yellow so I decided some black letter inserts would give it some visual appeal. After I did the rear, I thought it looked so much better I went ahead and did the front too.

I like the black letter inserts on my yellow car, too. They make the letters stand out so much more without being overkill like some of the options.

Did the Anti-Venom mod. Much better!! I'm only using 1 washer for now, 2 felt a little too loose for the stock shifter but might throw the second one back in when I get a short throw shifter.

Do you have any pics of the underside of your hood?

I took it to play tennis. Removed the clear targa top for the ride home. Put the light carmine red top on and stored the clear for next winter. Mothered the interior with VLR and 303 on the dashboard. Looked sadly at the peeling clear coat. Sigh.

I was off work today, but when I left to go to the store at around 3pm, I noticed my wipers were on. I thought it strange, because it hadn't rained the evening before when I had the car out, so I knew I had run into the seemingly common wiper motor failure/issue. I took the arms and cowl off and disconnected the wiper motor for now, and have ordered a new one which will be here on Thursday.

In the mean time, I'll be at work tomorrow with no wipers. Good thing I have a short commute and plenty of Rain-X on hand.

Kept more miles off it for the next owner.

Been sitting since November or so in storage. Curious if I’ll drive it before June as all it’s done is rain. Supercharger holding down the shelf in the garage.

...I just drive the ‘69 as im able instead. Oddly don’t care.

Got with a friend and welded a couple of -10 fittings to my valve covers for running to a breather tank. And took reception of a nice set of Manton custom length pushrods courtesy of Tony Mamo. Slowly but surely she comes together.

Molested her a bit. Removed front bumper to access certain things underneath and possibly for future makeover.

Received my painted fuel rail covers from Corvette Mods. I'll be installing the letters, then get the on my Electron Blue '02. Didn't know if I'd like the letter color (chrome) so wanted to see them first & attach myself. Love the Victory red. Looks great with EB.

Default Radioflyer

Today I installed the radio flyer angel eyes HID LED headlight projector headlights and the sweeping switchbacks! I love them makes the vette have an updated appearance. The light output is amazing, the angel eyes look sinister!!! Mr. Argel of Radio Flyer inc. was awesome to work with, if I encountered a problem he was Johnny on the spot with a solution! Well worth the money spent. I'll post pics upon request!!

Cleaned out the glove box and console took a drive though town before the rain came. Seems like we get sun in Illinois about every 6 days.

I have George’s bi-xenon headlights and they are just great, and yes, he’s great to work with. I had one stop working and tho’ finding the solution was tedious, the fault was discovered and he supplied me with new, improved products.

Funny how opinions vary! The first thing I did when I bought my EB Z06 was remove anything red. LOL
