Very nice. Looking good.

Ohhhhh....that will look KILLER! I figured that you guys would come up with something totally outside the box! :thumbsup:

Mark my words though, all of the "other" shops (Chip, Troy, Rodger, Chris, Ring Bros, etc.) will see this mod and start using your idea on their builds. :rolleyes:

As a non-Corvette purist... AWESOME.

Are you keeping the soft top available? I've been debating opening up my inner wheel wells because of proximity to the soft top boot.

Someone insinuated Good Guys. Is some or all of this gonna be out there? Was debating the trip - but that would pretty much wrap it up for me. :thumbsup:

wow this build looks awsome. thanks for being an insperation to me. every time i think i can reach the top bar some j.a. has got to raise it out of reach j.k. love it keep up the good work.let me know if you need any packaging tape to fasten the shock res. on. i think that would look better. :thumbsup:

Great looking stuff, Phil!

I'll try to get more pics on today. I'm leaving for the Good Guys show in Indy this afternoon, so it may not be until later tonight/tomorrow[/QUOTE]
