Big thanks to Steve @ Crossed Flags
Had Steve pick up the car a few weeks ago to fix a few issues and just got it back yesterday. I have to say, it is great to have such a diligent and communicative shop reasonably close (and willing to pick up/return). They worked through all my issues and communicated everything that was happening on a regular basis (sometime multiple texts a day).
General overview of work done:
At this point, the car is pretty much perfect, and basically fully restored. Full professional repaint in 2017, low mileage donor interior in 2017, 391 engine in 2018, and absolutely everything gone through and working at this point. Only thing left is I'll probably have a local stereo shop that knows C4s pull the stock Bose system and replace with a modern setup with bluetooth. The stock Bose works, but it's an early 90s Bose system (no highs, no lows...). Since I've been missing it, decided to take it to work today, and it did great even in some light stop and go traffic. Here's a obligatory pic and a link to the video of it backing out of Steve's trailer: https://photos.app.goo.gl/iQEToyeh5sdKFs1j9

Re: Big thanks to Steve @ Crossed Flags
The car looks and sounds great. I sure miss my 368 CI motor.
That color is one of my favorite. Good Luck with it and hammer down every chance you get. |

Re: Big thanks to Steve @ Crossed Flags
It's nice to see owners take the time to share their good experiences. Praise for a job well done ranks above money as reward for effort.
Kudos to you both, Evan & Steve!

Re: Big thanks to Steve @ Crossed Flags
Great looking car that will stay with or beat many late models. Anyone can own something new. The special people have the “old junk”!

Re: Big thanks to Steve @ Crossed Flags
Yeah, I've had several "modern" sport & muscle cars think they were going to beat up on the old Corvette. Let's just say it didn't turn out the way they thought it would.

Re: Big thanks to Steve @ Crossed Flags
HOLY SH!T!!! The ZR-1 sounds freaking AWESOME with the Corsa, 391 and stage 2 cams at full throttle with the windows down. This thing screams like a cross between a classic American V8 & an angry Ferrari. The drive yesterday was windows up, today was about 90 degrees with windows down, and it's freaking INCREDIBLE!

God bless all of my great friends with ZR-1's. I love these cars! Evan, such an honor to be trusted with your car. It is beautiful and Pete built one heck of a motor. Very, very strong! Get out there and enjoy her!!!
