    Looks great, or at least it did.
    What all are you doing to it?

    Holy crap. If I have to remove the body to install some longtubes I think I'll pass on a Vette.

    Seriously though it sounds like an awesome ride. Will it be ready for race season? Taking it to PRP?

    With everything getting installed all at once (and hopefully never again) that's how my builder usual does these. It's not all that difficult to do and it's easier to put everything on and torque to spec. I'll admit, I hate seeing it like this though.
    It should be done in time for race season and I'll definitely be hitting up PRP.

    Thanks Dave! I'm not getting my hopes up though. MAYBE in perfect weather/DA down at MIR, but even that's a stretch. I know I'll be happy with the car either way!

    Thanks Rob. Hopefully when we get our cars done, we can go for another cruise. Any plans on going to PRP this year?

    Sounds great! Hit me up when you're in the mood to cruise or going to PRP. I probably won't hit the track as much as before for the same reason as you. Although, I have NEVER seen someone blow through as many axles as you have lol. I wouldn't mind giving autoX a try for the heck of it though.
