I know it - I'm going a little stir crazy myself!!

I dropped off the new Z06 screens for the front bumper, this morning. I didn't have my camera, so I'll have to go back in the morning.. I guess they've started my engine compartment, so I'm really looking forward to seeing that progress!!

The shop got bombed with work this past week, because of the recent ice and the 1" of snow we got (go figure).

He told me that the beginning of next week has opened up, and my car will be getting a lot of attention - So I promise there will be some good stuff coming up

I know.. it's going to be incredible - it's just that I'm starting to go stir crazy inside without my car to play with in the garage

I've been forced to spend double the time at the gym, and the wife's really loving that!! I said "See, now you won't be jealous of my car any more will you!!"

Anyways, my glass guys showed up today and re-tinted the windows while they were out of the car.. the back glass was done at 5% and in one pc.. It'll be nice when it's back in.. The previous tint job was pretty sloppy, so I was more then happy to have it cleaned up

I'm going to stop by the shop tomorrow, at some point.. Keep your finger's crossed for me

Well, yes, and no. I have some pictures I'll be posting tonight.. The items in the engine compartment that are being painted are off the car and prepped. A few small things have been done, but because of the storm, they got bombarded again.. Which is fine with me - Until April 1st is here

Stay tuned, pics to follow.

Oops, lemme look

Anyways, sorry for the lack of updates.. Here's what I got yesterday.. They've got the components under the hood (that are being painted) removed and prepped. They'll be painted Monday/Tuesday, then the airbrush guy will be called...

This thing, right now, is FILTHY, sorry!!

















Here's my new front bumper screens:
