Got to tear a C7 apart today

There was shipping damage on the rear bumper.

Here are some pics.

I think you will find the rear suspension, brakes, rotors and the tail light very interesting. I wonder if this tail light could be retrofitted to a Camaro? Maybe a person with fabrication experience can comment.

Putting it back together was tough. Only 20 left over parts

Just kidding. I got to watch though!

Why did you have to tear it apart? I also can't believe that you can get red interior with yellow exterior.

Agreed.

I liked this one much better.

Well maybe the wheels from the yellow one are better.

Is there a fan in that rear area where the bumper would be?

Don't forget the red calipers too.

This car looks amazing in yellow (or any of the lighter colors that make the black trim pop) but the mustard / ketchup combo is not my favorite.
