Oh my, Looks like Rick will have to pull something out of the hat to stay with Jed at the AutoFair. RCG poll: Who can spend more on their Vette? A) Rick B) Jed
Will Jed chance an encounter with the cones after this mod? Stay tuned for answers to these very important questions.

I think the pic with no hood looks good
Hey Mark can you wipe off the tops of the mufflers and the black part on the rear--they're really hard to clean when it's all together
Bottom of the hood looks great. Can't wait to get it back...........hopefully this weekend...........so quit posting and get back to it
Most the mods coming are above cone level. The way I see it the right wheel tire combo to race on will once again even the field

Maybe a set of Hoosier autox tires?
Why even the field when you can get ahead of it

My black corvette letters came in yesterday.I forgot about the black paint.
I may end up with the same spoiler or the ACI one and didn't want to have to remove the facia just to install it...makes sense now.

NOPE not finished yet. Mark says he's having trouble matching the quiksilver, but I think he's been sneaking a drive in and is addicted to the ATI power
I'd rather him be patient and give me the quality he has on his car than rush and give me any less

Matching quicksilver with hundreds of coats of NXT is probably
difficult
Mark will have it lookin perfect.....................you might want to order some new rear tires

Just an update. I meant to call you earlier but was at the shop late... been busy. (WITH YOUR CAR...LOL)
Seriously, I can relax now... I think I've got an exact color match. I thought I had an exact match when we painted the hood but when the sun finally came out, it was, well... YUCK. The color was perfect in the booth, just not in the sun.
Well, today the sun was out pretty well all day and after spraying over a dozen cards and tinting all day... I am EXTREMELY happy with the result.
Unfortunately, by the time I finally was satisfied with the color, there was no time left to respray it.
Tomorrow is another day. It'll get sprayed tomorrow but won't be wetsanded and buffed till beginning of next week.
I'm sorry but I'll be damned if I'm going to let a customer's car (let alone a friend and forum member) get half a job.
On the bright side, I did get the front canard cut in half and spliced back together... fits MUCH better.
I'll call you tomorrow.
