Factory Photo's
WELL, I HAVE LEARNED ANOTHER LESSON..IF YOU WANT SOME PHOTO'S OF YOUR VETTE COMING OFF THE LINE, AND YOU'RE THEIR WITH IT...DON'T DO IT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PRODUCTIOIN RUN. KEVIN GOT ONE AND ONLY ONE PHOTO OF MY ARCTIC WHITE VETTE BACK IN OCTOBER OF 04'...IF I HAD WAITED UNTIL NOW...COULD HAVE HAD A WHOLE ROLE..OH WELL...ANYONE HAVE AN ARCTIC WHITE,COBALT INT./POLISHED WHEELS, Z51, MN6 WITH LEXAN TOPAT THE FACTORY...

Old Number 2 is the second C6 built, they still use it for testing apparently. It is the white car with the black wheels in the next to last pic on my page. Kevin is a great guy, I'm glad I got the opportunity to see everything there firsthand. Now the hard part, its two weeks before my museum delivery
