That looks like a whole lot of destroyed tires.

Definitely, they are going to fire them over when the actual assembly begins and as the car comes apart which will be fun to see !

i wonder if they will remove the entire drivetrain from the bottom given all of the other BS I am having done.
I sent over a bunch of additional parts (C6z06 shocks, poly bushings, end links, Dewitts radiator, McLeod RXT, new hoses, MGW shifter, new brakes, c5 speed line Z06 wheels, bla bla).

I am thrilled they took on the build given their reputation and quality, it will really be like a totally different car
Not to mention I have not driven the car once in the last 12 years.
