before i had a chance to change out my rear quarter panels someone smashed my front end and drivers door with a uhaul truck. Insurance tried to crush the car but after a long fight the company they settled on giving me 2,900 which was enough for me to then buy another door and a complete front end. here's ome pics of the damage so you could see how bad it was.
I spent 12 hours yesterday swapping out the complete front end. I also got a lift off fiberglass hood from the same guy and I'll be putting that on today.
a handlefull of days ago i also swapped out my 12" LS front brakes for a set of C5 corvette 13" brakes. they are awsome, but i need to get the wilwood proportioning valve so i can dial out some of the rear brakes, I've done a handful of panic stops and the rears lock up WAY before the fronts do. I think it has to do with the rear LS brakes being small calipers in the back and the bigger C5 calipers in the front so the rears apply more with the same pressure.
got the wilwood adjustable prop valve and should be installing it tommorrow. got rid of my hood hinges and 50lb factory steel hood. threw on the free hood i got with the fenders for now, the scoop is a little goofy but i'll buy a flat hood to replace it later. fiberglass lift of hood and fiberglass front bumper. judging off hand i prob lost around 35-45 lbs in the front. certainly feels that way lifting the front nose and factory hood.
also redid my dash finaly and finished it up for now.
a pic of the new corvette brakes right before i did the nose swap.
