I met a friend of one of my closest friend who owns 4 Corvettes. He has three 1965's and this ZR1.

--Z51
--3LT
--Magnetic Ride
--Dual Mode Exhaust
--7 Speed Manual
--Chrome Wheels


Mods
--Stingray Door Sills
--Stingray Floor Mats
--Stingray Trunk Mat
--Stingray Hood Liner (still on order)
--Carbon Fiber Dash (just installed today, Tuesday, Oct.29)






































Ironic story-I ordered the carbon fiber dash. This was something that I ordered on my original C7, which was to be delivered next April.

My dealership ordered one for me for this car. It arrived last week and was installed today. Yesterday, GM called my dealership and wanted to buy back my dash-THEY WERE OUT! My dealership said that it was already sold........

Congrats Steve-o. Looks awesome! Have fun. Love the Stingray door sils.

Some updated pictures from today....











The Kansas City version of Cars & Coffee was last Friday at KC Trends. The event is called Fast Fridays! Here is the picture taken of the cars in attendance. Notice the first car in the lineup in the upper left hand corner!

You got that right, Gunny!

I'm a disc jockey (Steve Garrett) at 101 The Fox, the flagship station for the Chiefs. I've been there for 24 of my 36 years on the radio.

Good to hear you miss KC, but Oceanside has to be sweet!

I just sealed the car with 22PLE.

1. Iron X wipedown (to remove iron deposits from the car, there was not many)
2. Wash
3. Claybar
4. Wash
5. Wolfgang's Polish

Next Day......
6. Isopropal Alcohol/Water wipedown
7. 22PLE




As I said above, 22PLE is supposed to last 12-24 months and takes a full 5 days to fully cure. Here are the results......











The only place you can get 22PLE is from Esoteric Detail.com. Check out their website or call them and talk to Todd Cooperrider.
