Apart from the white 4 door (would have moved it before snapping that pic), a great set of pics and a nice insight into Vettenuts. Glad you posted this as I for one had no idea...

Well, to be fair that isnt just a run of the mill sedan. I would happily take a tr6060 GXP over a base c5.

Thank you Jack. We started off 8 years ago in my fathers small horse barn that i converted into a shop. We were in that building for almost 6 years and started from virtually nothing. Without Dad allowing me to use that building rent free VetteNuts would have gone under the first year. It was a struggle but we slowly began to gain traction. When i bought the new shop it had been abandoned for 18 years and did most all the work myself. The Corvette Forum built my business and i will always be here for my C5 brothers and sisters! C5's are my passion and they will always be.

Lot of nice shots of Vettes but I'm not sure what that white 4-door was in the pic of a line of Vettes outside your shop.

In house for simple but for the big cams and FI we use several different ones. Give me a call.

We do love our G8 and actually have parted out 8 of them. One hell of a LS conversion power train. Also its only a 2 year production car so i close up the interiors and leave them complete. One day you will not be able to get parts for them.

Thanks Kenny i really appreciate it and Thank God For Corvettes! Without all that led me to open VetteNuts i have no idea what i would be doing today. Its crazy to think it took a tragedy, me totaling my 1998 to make all this happen.

Love vettenuts you guys have saved my butt a couple times. Pretty cool to see the inside of the shop and the hard work that went in to it. Wishing you much success.

Marc, sometime late Spring or Early Summer I plan on taking my C5 Vert for the first long drive since owning for 3+ years visiting my best friend that lives in Fairfield Glade, TN. Just wondering whether you have a retail area that displays stuff that you sell to us very appreciated owners. BTW, your new digs look great.
