Very nice, Doug. I do like that color, especially in a vert.....of course I have a hard time not liking any Corvette.

CONGRATS!!!!!

 

:cool: I'd :auto: back.

Heyall.

I'd drive it from Boston if the weather wasn't so friggin crummy.

I ordered wheels from John at CCW yesterday. Will get some necessary basics from Nate at CorvetteGarage this week probably.

I think I am going to go with an intercooled Magnuson S/C and upgrade the cam when the new S/C's come out in January. Will get headers and intake when I do that and do it all at one time. I am going to let someone else go first though as they work out the kinks in the plumbing. 3/36000 warrantee sounds good to me...unlike some of my adventures in the past.

Doug

 

Just sold the 69 Camaro tonight on eBay so I now have a nice bankroll, can work out stuff at work I want to work out and then we'll see where we stand for the rest.

Doug

 

hey doug got the vert in texas yet????waiting to check it out.. :yesnod:

 

:flag :flag :flag :thumbs: :party:

 

Hey Mitch.

Intercity Lines has a backlog of 200 cars (mostly being shipped to Barrett-Jackson auction in January) so they said they couldn't take me til near the end of January! No pass.

Corey and I were cooking up a plan to fly up to Boston tomorrow and do a Cannonball run back (that would have been a blast). BUT....

I did find a service today associated with eBay which was recommended by the sellor and they say they can get the car here by the 12th. Still a bummer but much more popular with the locals. :seeya

John at CCW has a set of 19" 505A's (the split spoke design) with Michelin Pilot Sports on the way and Nate Caro from CorvetteGarage (Nate originally started Xtreme Motorsports) has agreed to come down some weekend after my car arrives and bring a whole passle of bolton goodies....we'll have a mod day that weekend for sure. I've given him quite a shopping list. I'll put him up at my house and we'll grill some steaks and drink some beer that day. Everyone will be invited.

So in the meantime, I wait. Fix the disposal. Vacuum out the garage. Tick tock tick tock.

Doug,

I know the wait sucks. I look forward to the mod day party. The Houston crew will welcome Nate properly.

 

Woo hoo......another mod party. :party:

Good excuse to get more mods for my car. :D :hurray:

 

damn doug you should have said something, i could have hooked you up with tickets , and we could have drove it back this week . :yesnod:

 

:eek: :eek: :cheers: :hurray: :hurray:

 

Hello boys and girls.

Update update.

1) The car is now delayed and may not get to Texas until 1/20. They picked it up on Friday 1/2, THEN called me to say they couldn't honor the day that they guaranteed on their website of 1/12. (This is DAS, not Intercity). Apologies, I get some of my money back but still no car yet.

2) I did a deal with John Page of 21st Century today to put an intercooled Magnacharger S/C in my car. He is getting an initial allotment of 5 and I am getting #4 out of 5 and the first polished unit he is getting.

Will get upgraded cam, new valve springs, upgraded oil pump, new seals, new intake etc. Will not do headers on this car as he says not really worth the increase in HP. Saved 2k right there. That's a good thing. I picked the ACI hood. Best fit of ACI, Caravaggio and RK Sports. MCM won't have blower hood for a while yet and the C and RK hoods have apparently had some fit and quality problems.

3) Wheels are confirmed to come this week from CCW. I will probably keep stock wheels on the car until it comes back from LPE. First thing they would do is pull the wheels off the car.

4) Nate Caro and I are on for the mod day, date to be determined, and he has my shopping list.

Doug

Congrats Doug. You sure dont waste anytime. :thumbs: How long will you be able to hold out without doing the 427 TT? ;)

 

damn doug your getting older but not slower............good luck with your mods. :thumbs:

 

I am making progress on the body kit even though I won't be able to do it for a long time, maybe not even this year. I have a friend in Switzerland who speaks fluent German and is going to call the dealers...I think I have tracked down the company that actually fabs the body kits and will be able to get the parts cheaper from them.

I am going to have Joe Napoleon's body shop do the body work including moving door handles, gas tank lids etc and do the car right. They did a masterful job with the Camaro and he's got the right values...I don't know how to say it better than that. He's not going to compromise.

The car in the pics does not comply with US industry standards (no side marker lights etc) so some work may need to be done to bring the kit into compliance for the US.

Tonight it is -28 degrees where I am in Canada. Think about THAT! :D

Night night.

Doug

looks like your on the right track doug .........good luck can't wait to see it. :thumbs:

 

Well Rick, it does have Z51 suspension option. Only thing I don't like are vinyl Recaro seats whatever those are. Maybe seat cover time. :D

Hey Snowman, I am pretty sure that those are the sports seats. It came up the same way when the dealer gave me a print out on my car when I had it in for service. I am pretty sure that the code AQ9 is corvette specific but the print out is GM generic.
