Then, as if miraculously, I saw a light. It had an strange, greenish glow about it and I realized it meant I would be facing a significant change in my life in the near future.
Amazing what a "Change Oil Soon" code will do for you!!!!

That's something I want to do to mine someday. Not sure I have the guts to start removing body parts from my vette. 
I think it will look great on my white vette w/black motorsports tho....

What rear end gears did you go with? 4.10 or 3.90
EDIT** Guess I should ask if you car is a A4 or MN6. By the looks of your ET's, I would guess an A4. Maybe a 3.73 was in order?

Yea I want to run the tape on the rear of StuzVette in black...on the lower fascia...
Mike needs to fix it or you need to wash your vette every 100 miles...

Chris, great looking job on that rear fascia and glad to hear you are on the road again.
Just take your time with that break-in and do it right. 'Course I know you already knew that but wanted to re-inforce it anyway since I know it's been a long time for you from being behind the wheel.

The ring and pinion is perfectly safe, I just didnt' feel like building a new diff and not upgrading. But yes they are out of my original diff.
