There is NO help...just go with the mod flow I can't even think about all the $$$ sent on mods or I will need a handful of aspirins, but I wouldn't have it any other way

Aspirins? Have a couple of these and call me in the morning.

WARNING! This is only temporary relief, if not used correctly it could lead to even further mod spending.

Face it - you got the car, now you have to do the mods. Buying a C5 is one sure way to ensure you do not have any cash left over at the end of the month.

you are lucky, you don't have a bad case at all

Name all that plus a bunch of interior stuff, plus gears, plus headers, badges, chrome exterior dress up, new wheels, new tires, etc.

Now multiply that by 2 for my C5s

Now add a '68 roadster. Let's see... new paint, new intake, new carb, new shocks, new bushings, new ball joints, u joints, diff with 4.11s, exhaust, new trailing arms, bearings, brakes, tires, wheels, carpet, htr face, clock, steering wheel, convertible top, vacuum hoses, power steering hoses, pump, control valve, front stabilizer, rear too, new front springs, rear too, new tranny mounts, new lenses all around, new weather stripping throughout entire car and both tops, valve covers, chrome master cylinder, new brakelines and hoses, chrome alternator, radiator, electric fans, shift boot, brake console, door handles, storage compartments, mirrors, rechromed bumpers, red line spare wheels and tires for show, etc., etc.

You have a mild cold. I think I'm terminal!

Let's see......

Borla Stingers
Rear letters
Exhaust Plate
Tail light covers

You might try some Preparation H for all that rear end work

Oh. And don't forget the High Performance Hood Seal and Throttle Body By-Pass Tube. Those are "must get" items

Yes!!! Aspirin can cure this syndrome! Just go to the drugstore, get a small bottle of aspirin. Then, go to your bank and take out a $10K loan and your mod problems will go away soon.

I feel your paint. I'm already $25k deep into performance mods and havent even got started on the body and interior yet. Not to mention it'll be another 7mos before I can enjoy it
