He is referring to the 4x4 Camaro that I posted in post #41. My Dad sold it earlier this year. Looks like he must have bought it from the guy he sold it to.

Not me, just have them delivered to my office!

Use mine all the time and it has latch on side that you unhook from one pin on platform, then swing it around and latch on pin of leg to lock it from closing. Only one for each end of platform. It still allows slight movement, but I don't have to worry about it closing and falling when moving on it.

Good info. Looks like I will be taking mine apart tonight.

Happens all the time. A lot of people don't understand the difference clay bar makes till you do a section and let them feel.

-Front grills -Cars with front scoops or vettes side brake cooling ducts that have plastic trim -The trim along windshield wiper area ( usually has fins) -Numerous areas in engine bay (hoses, accordion intake piping, tight spots) -Interior vents and some other tight spots usually around change holder/cup/ash tray area - Door jambs

Seems like you already decided on what you want but just to throw another one out there. I have a Foldacover. I like it because its a hard folding cover that allow access to front or rear with a flush locking latch that using car door like strikers.. No drilling required. Can easily be removed by removing 4 screws.. Comes with tail gate seal too. Have owned it for little over a year now and truck is parked outside 24/7. I get zero water in bed. They have some videos on there webpage to show installation. Great quick customer service. Mine a small dent/nick in paint on cover where packaging box was punctured. I called and they sent FedEx next day to pick up and ship new one immediately. http://www.foldacover.com/

Beautifully Sick! Nice job!

Still liking the hood? I still haven't replaced mine after selling to a buddy, just put stock hood back on. Too many options and can't decide. Seems to be priced about right. Always hard to sell a car you love, but I usually find another to love just as much! Good Luck With the Sale! Beautiful Z

I have one and love the size. I usually palm the "head" of the brush instead of grabbing the handle. Since the handle is so short I don't have to worry about banging it onto places I don't want when being aggressive.

Thanks everyone. I just ordered some new Leather w/ suede inserts to recover the seats. Didn't like the cheap feel and look of these factory seats, plus passenger seat had a small tear in it.

Yeah I certainly like this hood because it gives it a very clean, as if it were stock look, but I love how aggressive the ZR2 hood is. I might even do the ZR hood (without the side vents) so that it is a little bit of both hoods. I almost ordered the ZR hood (he had 1 left at the time) then I saw this hood for sale and since it was already painted I couldn't resist. After seeing how great yours looks in the carbon fiber, I know I could go a little while before painting, if I painted it at all. Thanks for all the pictures of yours too, helped a lot.

After saving for a little over 5yrs I purchased a 2011 6spd GS in March. The paint was pretty hammered. The car had some cheesy chrome trim around the marker and reverse lights. Also had some chrome along the rear diffuser and chrome corvette letters on the bumper. Had a terrible Tint job (2 piece on rear window). 3 Wheels had some bad curb rash. It wasn't exactly what I had wanted but I was able to purchase it for a really good price. Exterior I immediately removed all the cheesy chrome trim and replaced the wheels with Identical factory wheels. I then removed the tint and had all the windows re tinted including front windshield. Replaced side marker lights with matching painted ghosted led marker lights. Replaced tail lights with led lights. Tinted all rear lights (brake light and reverse lights) on the car. Installed carbon fiber like vinyl to the emblems. Plastidipped the chrome grandsport emblems on the side of the car. Painted brake calipers black. Going for the blacked out look, but still a fan of chrome wheels. Interior Installed new stereo with sub/amp front and rear cameras for parking, mats (front and rear), wrapped some pieces in carbon fiber vinyl, custom bass knob (matches factory ac knobs), shift knob, leather shift boot, leather padded center console lid, heads up display, led lighting, mild to wild switch. As far as the paint: I used Flex for big areas, porter cable and 4" pads for smaller spaces and my drill with 4" pads for deeper scratches. -Washed with Adam's Car Shampoo and two Adams Wash Pads -Adam's Clay Bar while washing (wash a panel then clayed with soap) -Adam's Polish's (still using the older formulas) - Used orange and white microfiber pads and finished with a white foam pad. -Applied Americana to all painted surfaces - love this stuff -Applied Quick Sealant to wheels -Adam's Brilliant Glaze to all paint and wheels - used a hex grip applicator -Adams glass sealant to the windows -Adam's Super VRT on all trim/seals and wheels - Use pro tire applicator on tires and blocks cut to shape for trim - Adam's In & Out on front and side grills/scoops -Adam's Metal Polish 1 & 2 on the exhaust tips - Final wipe down with Detail spray and Single Soft towels Interior: -Cleaned all surfaces with Adams Leather and Interior Cleaner -Adam's Leather Conditioner on seats, center arm rest, and shift boot -Adam's glass cleaner and towels on windows -Total Interior Detailer on All Plastic surfaces - Cleaned some spilled coke out of passenger carpet after removing seats with Adams Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner Didn't take but a few before pictures so majority of these are after pics. Pictures of Car at Dealership Paint was jacked (can't believe I bought a car in this shape) A few after pictures of being detailed and some cosmetic changes. Interior After Pics - Have changed a few things and have more planned

Looks great! Nothing better than a freshly cleaned black vette. I need that hood! Looks like it will be late next month before they have them in stock.

Good ole rain to ruin things. Looks killer, certainly liking the carbon look with the black. If you ever have time to take some more pictures, it would help me out if you had one from the side view of the car and front angle view of the car. If your like me, I can never see to many pictures of vettes. Thanks for posting those. Looks like I might already be putting my hood for sale that I just purchased a few weeks ago.

Love that hood. Came close to buying that hood and still considering it. I have a GS and ended up purchasing a hood from a corvette forum member that was already painted black. Not real happy with the fit on my car. How was the fit on that one? Have any more pictures? Different Angles? Haven't found to many black vettes with that hood. My plan was to paint and leave some areas of the carbon exposed. Mainly the center section near the windshield. I have seen some others painted that way (on the similar ZR Hood) and it looks good.

Yeah I would certainly be doing some heavy drinking. They seem to be exhibiting some very childish type attitude. Certainly can understand why you would want to sell it at times. If and when it ever gets finished it is going to be sweet ride. Apparently it's going to be problems to the very end. I have a great love for a Chevelle but not sure I would survive through this build.

Just saw some pictures posted of the ac and wiring going in.

The saying goes if you don't want cracks in your concrete then leave it on the truck. Well that is the saying my concrete man is always telling me. Control joints are usually scored into fresh concrete or sawn into concrete to help control where it cracks (theoretically you want it to crack in those joints).

Love how that silver really shows the body lines.

I purchased Adam's clay when they first came out and I also experienced the clay being way to sticky. Sadly I had to purchase elsewhere because it was too much of a pain to deal with.

Killer job! I don't think that is the original motor. I don't believe they ever came with a v8. My first car was a 1984 and it had a V6, I remember thinking how cool it was that it talked when you left lights on or door open. Shortly after it got annoying, but it was a fun car.

I usually drop motors in with my flip flops on too. It's going to be one killer ride, but there is no way I could wait this long for it to be finished. They are taking advantage of their reputation for building awesome rides, but are ruining their image because how slow they are. Custom rides take time but shouldn't take this long for the kind of money you are probably paying. It's not even my car and I am ready to see the finished product!

Yeah I watch the Mighty Car Mods too.

If I recall correctly, Adam himself delivered products to Jays Garage many years ago. I liked Jay Leno's show but certainly laugh a lot more with Jimmy Fallon. He gets the celeb's to do all kinds of stuff. Everything I have ever seen about Jay Leno shows that he is a very laid back humble guy that works like crazy (and loves his blue jean shirts). He did an interview one time and they asked if the rumor was true that he has never spent any of the money he makes from the tonight show. He said it was true that he has saved it since his very first paycheck. I would imagine that is for rare is show business. I have been watching his car vids for years, started on his webpage and since have converted to his youtube channel! Another good one is "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" with Jerry Seinfeld. He does an excellent interview with Jay.
