Mark,

The results of the dry ice blasting are impressive! I’ve seen it done before on some YouTube videos, but it’s really fantastic to seethe finished product. Really nice work my friend!

I’m still trying to get my head wrapped around your turn to the “dark side” with the C4 ZR-1s, but I guess that I’ll get used to it at some point!

Regards,

Stan Falenski

Mark, that is such a cool and very significant car. The guy who did the dry ice cleaning did a great job, it looks fantastic.

This is an amazing thread. Thanks for posting all this. Great to see the clean up using dry ice blasting, and also the extent of the engine compartment grime on a 13k mile car - makes me feel better about the clean-up I have to do on my 16k mile car. It's hard to believe the components under the hood get that dirty with so few miles, but true. We are eager to see more as your project continues - let us know when it will be entered for NCRS judging.

Best regards,

J. Dockter
