She's looking great Tony!

Excellent choice on the color, it looks better every time I see it!
Ride height and alignment all done?

Cheers!
Carl

Took a ride up to Dindsale's shop today. Lined up the doors, hood, and now installing a (hidden) aftermarket sound system. T

T, did you use the door off the '79? Noticed the door ajar lights are not there, like the early ones.

Tell us more about the stealth system...

Well, somewhat stealth. Good catch on the doors. They did come off the 79 and chose them because there were no rub strips, therefore no holes to fill before paint. Rear bumper cover also came off the 79 along with the interior, wiring harness, etc. Leaving the original radio in place for aesthietics. Dins mounted a JVC KD AVX77 single din/ipod/ onto the pass side shelf that tucks up in there pretty good and will be conrolled by remote. 2 way 6.5's mounted down low in the kick panels. Self amplified bazooka tube in the hatch. Trying to keep most of the interior as it left the factory with the exception of the Momo wheel. Was acutally thinking about having Rob Budd fatten up the rim on the stock wheel and putting that back into play. T

Faster. The 08 LS3 Vette I previouly owned had 430 hp, 2.73 final drive and weighed approx 3250lbs. JP has 525 hp, 3.42 final drive and should come in at approx 3075lbs (guesstimate & have not weighed her yet). T
