wrecked my ss

x2

wow. sorry to hear, man

holy $h1t, glad you and the wife are ok, that sucks but if yiou really want a new vette maybe it will work out, and who is your insurance company when i talked to mine a few years back about that custom stuff they said that the declared value only covers certain stuff and that i would only get blue book value for my car, that aint much on an r tittle delsol,

Sorry to see that man, good luck on getting it back together

What are the chances??!?!??! Thankfully you are both okay. Good luck with the repairs!!

Holy shit I bet your insurance company loves you!! Glad everyone was alright…

The new GM frame came in today, i need some advice on how to prep it for paint. What can i use to strip all the wax off of it and clean it up nice? Pewter recommended kerosene, is there anything else i need to get?

lacquer thinner or wax/grease remover

Kerosene & a stiff-bristled brush is what I used when I did my truck. It worked great.

nope,should wip right off!

Hubby used to use kerosene on his trucks! But on the paint…to clean it… I never knew this was common, I just thought he was crazy!!!

dam that sucks…i loved that truck

hey thanks!

no worries though, it will be back and better than ever,…in about 2months

thats good!

1st step in the rebuilding process…acquire parts! lots and lots o’ parts!

I would go find the tree you hit and turn it into a coffee table or such

any upgrades

keep up the good work

I would cry if I wrecked that truck. I remember how bad it was the morning you posted this. glad your ok, etc.

that pile of parts is Not quite an 08 zo6 but looks like you got enough cash to put her back together, good luck.

There are alot of parts that are not pictured. My comment about the Z06 was meaning that the insurance policy i have on it would have payed out that much if they totalled it. so far i’m about $22k into it with another suppliment from the insurance company next week.

upgrades include new goodmark cowl hood, custom comp cam, comp push rods, 918 springs, comp ti retainers, crane double timing chain set, ported ls6 oil pump, brand new m122h supercharger, hotchkis sway bars, edelbrock shocks. thats all i can think of at the moment.

sounds good man! glad its coming together for you
