Well, some of you may know that I took my '88 apart to do some custom work to the front end(think Callaway LM). I sold off the body parts I didn't need to finance the project. Well, now that I have two other prjects in my garage, I decided it best to get it back together so I can drive it. It gets way better gas mileage than my truck, so I figured now would be the time.

SO, I got it back together, albeit a "collage" of car parts. I did add a '91 front nose and ZR1 style rear bumper. Looks pretty cool.

Let me say, that I haven't driven this thing in over 3 years. I have been driving it around today, and boy is it different than my C3s!! It handles so much better and it is so much quicker!!!


I will post pics soon!

Sounds good!

Wifey told me I can only have one vette in the garage, sadly, so I'll stick with the 89 for now :thumbleft:

Looking forward to pics.
