Default It's finally here!!

After a long wait (original deposit Aug2020), my baby is finally here and safe at home. Although I won't get to drive it for 6 more months (Thanks Army), I thought you might like to see it. 3LT/ELB/NPP/Coupe/Strike Yellow interior/Yellow Calipers. The wing is actually from American Hydrocarbon and Pat is in production of the front splitter and side skirts now. I also will have radiator guards, strut covers, an American Hydrocarbon engine appearance package, diamondcut floormats, upgraded ceramic brake pads and will probably powder coat the wheels at some point to black. Shout out to SOUTHERN PINES CHEVROLET GMC in Southern Pines, NC and Derek Worthy their corvette specialist and Rachel Ross in their finance department. They have been exceptional in service during this whole (often frustrating) process.
