I'd recommend doing it at least once, I've done it three times now.

It is a ton of fun - but the miles this last year where epic. I used a lot of my vacation time this year on the Power Tour, and that 20 hr drive back home would take 2 days, and I would need at least another day to recover. So thats like the Friday before, the week of PT and the Monday after and that is a very large chunk of my allotted vacation time for the year.

On the other hand, you see a lot of cool stuff you'd never see before - travel to parts of the country you may have never been to... and if you have friends and family along the PT, you can hang out with them too.

Yes, it seems like an awesome time. My buddy Pete did it a few years back and some guys on another forum I belong to, do it every year and love it. They always post up pics from the tour as well and say how much fun it is.

Introducing - Project Fat Ass: :lol:

So going thru the fine state of Alabama on the Power Tour - and hitting some nasty construction zones - I hit really bad bump - and cracked a rear fender.

325x19's + stock C6 rear fenders and big ass bumps dont mix...

So when I cracked the rear fender on the tour, I was a bit pissed - but I look at it this way - I was going to get the wide body kit on anyway, so why not start now with this motivation of fixing the cars rear end.

So the day I got back from the Power Tour I ordered the liners, the brake ducts, the seals, and some push pins. They came today - not bad for being home just over a week and having the rest of the parts from GM sitting at my door when I got home.

I already had the rear fenders, the brake scoops, and the rear splash guards.

I plan on tearing into the rear end over the next couple of weekends - I need to get the car to paint jail, and hopefully be done with this project by August. I got a big car show to go to, and well the RTTH's event is in September as well.

Everyone likes pics, and the last pic is my car in front of the bus at the GM Proving Grounds - it show the wheel gap in the back - mind you I had a couple hundred pounds of clothes, tools, jack and jackstands all sitting in the hatch of the Vette as well.

Sorry to hear about the cracked fender. Now you have an "excuse" to do your wide body kit!:unibrow:
Good luck and keep us posted.

Not an update - but found this pic on the net last night...

Guy took this pic somewhere between Georgia and Alabama on the Power Tour.

Needless to say - its my new favorite pic.

Damn photobucket for resizing it.

I'm considering getting an account with Flickr - but not sure which is the best bang for buck.

Oh - and look for an update this weekend, I plan on tearing the rear end off :)

Great photo!:thumbsup:
If you want, I can try to re-size it for you, without distorting it. Let me know.

That looks nice. I am excited to see the Z06 stuff go on. I may be in the minority, but short of the 68-72, I think the C6 Z06 is the best looking Vette around.

I honestly think the C6 Z06 is the best looking Vettes too...:hail:

Project Fatass = complete.

Probably took 5 hrs to get everything done, I think i spent more time cleaning up the garage and putting crap away then it did for me to do this swap.

Btw it was really easy. Only needed a 7/8/10mm sockets for the ship, and a t15 for the fender screws.

Now that I got the car done, I will contact my body guy and see what we can work out and when.

Now for the pics....
