All new brake lines were installed on car from front to rear. Stainless steel braided lines were also installed at each wheel along with new calipers. I changed out the stock single master cylinder for a dual unit for safety issues also. There is an inline brake proportioning valve mounted by the master cylinder for adjustment.


The interior has new heat shielding installed under the new black carpet. I replaced the stock seats with RCI racing seats with pads but still have the stock seats also. I went to a Grant steering wheel for easier control. I replaced the stock gauge cluster with a custom alum. panel where I mounted all Autometer silver face gauges in the original locations. 5” 200 MPH speedo, 5” 10,000 RPM tach, 2 5/8’s for the rest: Oil pressure, Volt meter, Fuel, Water temp, Fuel pressure. I have also had the clock rebuilt.

It is at the body shop right now having all new GM headlight assemblies installed and being block sanded 2 times and then painted 2003 corvette bright red with a clearcoat over it. I should have it back around the 27th or so. When I get it back I will also be adding new vent window weatherstriping, outer door weatherstriping, new nose, rear, and side emblems. I have several other small things I am also replacing.

Here are a couple pictures of it as of today. It is now on the ground back on its wheels and wearing a new Torch Red paint job !!!


A gallon of Torch Red paint


One and a half gallons of clear


Still have to get all the moldings, grill, louvers, etc. cleaned and put back on.






Engine and interior need to be cleaned back up. Dust everywhere!!!

I will get some more pictures after I get it all cleanud back up.


Thanks
Will

Hmm, mine is just getting broken in at 139,000 miles.:) Still want to trade?:D

bigblock66vette

Sorry for the Dumb question, but is a M6 a 6-speed? If so, with a little cash on the side I would be interested in a trade. What other mods or options does the 98 have?

Will

I am looking for a 6-speed C5, Higher miles ok, Mods also fine, it will save me from doing them myself :D . I will have the car back together in a few days and I will get some more pictures added to my album. If ANYONE is interested in just seeing the album email me with your address. I can not seem to figure out how to include a working link. Ohh well.
