Some of those pictures look familiar, kind of a deja vu sort of thing.
The car pretty much looks the same today as in the pictures posted but I wil try to take a few pictures tomorrow (Saturday) if possible of the massive amount of parts that are off of the car at this point, as long as you promise not to freak out when you see it (lol ).

This thing is gonna look sweet!!!!

Should look familiar to you! Thanks for taking the pics. 4RD H8R and his crew at Performance Auto Collision are working their magic. I trust you guys will be able to put it back together. It wouldn't be there if I didn't. Send me more, PLEASE!!!

In the pictures with the back bumper removed, there is a black rectangle on each side of the trunk. Is this some type of vent? If not, what is it, and what is it for? Vents for the battery in the trunk? Does this maybe contribute to exhaust drone due to the location? Anyone???

If you mean this piece, it is a pressure relief vent. It is there so when you close the doors or the trunk it is easier. With the tighter seals modern cars have, it gives the air someplace to escape when closing things. I can't think of any late model cars that don't have them.
As far as drone, I don't think it would make any difference.

That's it. Thanks for the explanation. It makes sense.

What color scheme are you going with? I love the black wheels on verts with black tops, but I'm a little biased.

You'll have to stay tuned! I hope it will be ready to pick up on Monday 4/18.

Yep, getting pretty anxious! I just heard that it will probably be Wednesday before it is ready. They took off all of the panels, will paint them, then reassemble it, add pinstripe, take back apart to clear it, then assemble it again.

Might have been easier to send your team to Oshawa to work on it or have Chevy just ship the parts

I ordered my 'mods'...Bow-tie blackouts, and dark gray hood spears to, as my wife said, "pull some color from the interior to the outside"

Starting small for me...Have a great weekend!

I'm glad you like it. A little low for me though. I haven't heard anyone saying it is too low except my wife. But that could be that they are just trying to be nice. I'd rather the truth
