Evolution of a Vette

When we bought Big Red in December we knew it needed a new clutch; we gave that task to a friend and month later we had him back ready for us to take on fixing everything else.

It started with simple tasks like headlight motors, then on a drive Chris wisely realized something was not right and when they got home he realized the harmonic balancer was slipping and needed replacing.  Had Chris not checked it out, it could have destroyed the engine.

This was a much bigger task, they had to take out the radiator fan, the steering rack, drop the sub-frame and move various other items in the way.  It took a lot of elbow grease, quite few days, and a blow torch but in the end they had success.

Now they could move onto the big fix they wanted to do.  A brand new Borla Atak exhaust.  With the x-pipe installed by the previous owner it makes the most beautiful sound I've ever heard from a Corvette.

Then it was back to simpler fixes, like repairing the seats, and adding details in and outside the car like black lettering for contrast on the Corvette logos.

So for now we are done modifying Big Red and just enjoying our V8 therapy.  He's sounding amazing!
