Back in '97 I avoided hitting a deer in my C3. I ended up with damage to my right front fender and right front wheel.

I had the entire vehicle repainted, the rim repaired, and all the aluminum rims professionally polished. The car came back better than ever. The factory paint was horrible back then, and the new base coat/clear coat job was amazing. Sort of like a silver lining in the cloud.

Hang in there - this time will pass and you will appreciate the C6 more than ever.

Thanks for the support guys... we still have some nice weather here in NY.. and I sure miss driving it on the weekends..

The support make me feel better, I want to go and ask when it will be done, but I DON'T Want to be a PIA and get the shop pizzed off at me.. as they ARE one of the "BEST" in Westchester County!

I am resigned to just not driving it until Jan or Feb.... "IF" I get a nice DRY day....

ugh... I am currently deployed, with the biggest thought of coming back and buying a vette. I have the luxury of internet, so I drool over your cars..... Can't wait to get back and buy the vette...
