Hey Red89,
Welcome to CF. Hope you enjoy your stay with us. Great bunch here.
Nice car!!!, do I see ground effects?

yes it has tastefull ground effects, and rear exhaust cutouts. Still working on it though, Already took off the front chin spoiler (way too low) and possibly changing the rear wing to a integrated design that flows with the body lines. The only other thing im doing is getting rid of the black strip that goes around the car, its going to be filled in and painted with the rest of the car. Ohh yeah and the new exhaust will also be going on, ( has borla right now) changing to bassani.

WICKED car, my friend! I like your idea on the wing; that'll give it cleaner lines, that's for sure. Welcome to the forums, and I personally would love to see more pictures, if you have 'em! :)

I'll put more up as soon as I get more. I still have a ton left to do. But it runs great, looks ok, and has low miles (96k) my family has owned this car since new (mom's old car) and unfortunately the only thing she ever kept up on was oil changes :( so I have had soooooo many problems with it that I have had to fix, that I would have been better off buying another one. But putting it all into perspective I have made it "MY" car, I have truly never seen one that looks or sounds like it. Also this a side project, My main projects are my 95 cobra (my play car) , and 1965 porsche 911T (being restored). The vette is the car I want to make very very unique, without changing the whole car. The motor will be the last thing I address on this car, The interior need some major help.... And I cannot find any "GOOD" deals on anything stock, and the interior I want to keep 100% stock. So if anyone knows of a good parts source for interior pieces, seat covers and carpet please please please let me know.... I live right next to corvette mikes in anaheim, but they want an arm and leg, and possibly more for stock parts.
