Not to steal Scott's thunder from his well-earned trophy but, I got ran off the road this morning on Riverside. Going 50mph and a guy came into my lane. I swerved to try to avoid him and hit a curb square on. Popped my tire, bent the lip of my rim, destroyed my front fascia, and we'll find out the rest of the damage as I try to piece it all back together. Rudi, at Corvette Specialties, had an extra bumper so he's painting it and it should be ready when I get back from Denver next weekend. The whole thing makes me sick

Jason go look at Chads car and lets get a parts list going. I have a 17" wagon that will hold but its pretty ugly. It will get you rolling again. Let me know if you need my truck for some parts runs.

Yeah. I leave Saturday afternoon and get back next Saturday night. I have pretty well dismantled as far as it will go until I get the new parts in next week. Once I get a parts list together, I'll get everything ordered before I leave so it will all be here when I get back.

He has the cleanest shop I have ever seen. I have several friends that have swapped to him instead of other machine shops they have used for years. No BS!

I'll ask the same question I always ask when something breaks. Is there an upgrade to something that can be done while I'm doing this work? (Tigershark fascia aside)
Thanks for the machinist recommendation Chris. I passed it along.
