That is a good write up, did you do the work yourself on your Vette?

My son & I have done everything ourselves so far - except - When we first got the car the oil pressure sender was bad. We had the dealer replace it ($400) and they created a secondary problem.

We'll be installing this shortly.

So far we've:
Added Cat-Back
Installed Headers
Repaced radiator w/Dewitts (w/EOC)
Installed B&M Shifter

ToDo:
EOC Adapter
Z06 SwayBar kit (just got them from powercoater today - awesome red)
X-Pipe
Bushings

We'll be doing the clutch ourselves most likely in the fall. :thumbsup:

We're having fun with it and it's not a daily driver. We've been down for a few weeks (and a few more) as my son had shoulder surgery - what a way to spend your summer ! :wheelchair:
