Well, finally....
 
After "sitting this one out" all driving season, I've been able to get in the queue with a very well respected frame shop that will be able to tweak the frame (bumper) horns so as to make everything line up.

Getting it staged!

I have (thanks to Brett) a "new" bumper and bumper cover, and from Jason at "Vette2Vette" I landed a replacement hood that appears to be in perfect condition, a new radiator shroud, and Pete provided a replacement radiator, and Robert DeMarco has a windshield available to be "transplanted". I bought a new air dam and all the "fixin's" to go with it. That leaves some minor bits and pieces, and painting, of course.

Mods:

My winter upgrade is limited to just a few minor items:

I plan to up the TB to 63mm and get back to an idea I have to improve the air flow on its way to the TB,

Install and oil recovery unit (really nice one from Moroso, acutally)

Putting 'er back together and painting - ready to roar come spring!

(Did I mention new brake pads? ;) )

I'll post some pix as things progress!

Nope. That bumper went to TX with Dom's old Z.

Prolly doesn't matter WHAT break pads or rotors are on it...IF I DON'T USE THE DANG THINGS IN TIME!!:o

If I wasn't so intense on looking in the rear view mirror to find the guy racing next to me in the LS3 Silverado (with a seriously choppy idle), and getting on the brakes instead...things might have turned out better.:rolleyes::rolleyes:
