Well guys as I am sure most of you know by now the Corvette burnt up.. the whole front clip, wiring harness, and everything in front of the motor is gone.. I was going to go through my insurance but they decided it was a total loss.. I cant stand to let my hard work and all the money in modifications go to some scrap yard somewhere.. Not to mention I just paid it off recently.. so I have made the HORRIBLE financial decision to keep the car and fix it myself.. With some luck I can rebuild it in a year and be back next year to race again.. For now I can help with the events and stuff.. I have never been without a "toy" so I figure this is going to be ruff.. Looking forward to watching everyone else get out there and tear it up.. (dont actually tear your car up though lol) ;D

It would be nice if you knew which junkyard it would be going to and make arrangements to buy it back after you got the totaled check from the insurance, if you could make a deal and come out ahead. were you able to determine the cause/source of the fire? Sorry for the loss, I'm sure it was sickening.

Never figured out what did it.. I have a few ideas to speed her recovery along so we will see what I can do.

Just think of how clean it will be after your done. I'm sure with your attention to detail it will be very nice when you get it all back together. And like I said before if you need anything just let me know. I'm a good teacher so maybe I could run over one weekend and answer any questions you might have about wiring or repairing anything. Just take your time don't rush and when you get it back together it will be even better.
