Default Some new pic's - dial up beware

Beautiful day in Houston. Took the Vette over to MTI to have them lower the front a little more. It was lowered on stock bolts only. Rear height was fine but front needed a little help, so I had them cut 2/3's off the front bushings and now it's perfect.
I've also been cleaning up the ol' CCW's for the fall Vette shows.
