Well, finally....
After "sitting this one out" all driving season, I've been able to get in the queue with a very well respected frame shop that will be able to tweak the frame (bumper) horns so as to make everything line up.
Getting it staged! I have (thanks to Brett) a "new" bumper and bumper cover, and from Jason at "Vette2Vette" I landed a replacement hood that appears to be in perfect condition, a new radiator shroud, and Pete provided a replacement radiator, and Robert DeMarco has a windshield available to be "transplanted". I bought a new air dam and all the "fixin's" to go with it. That leaves some minor bits and pieces, and painting, of course. Mods: My winter upgrade is limited to just a few minor items: I plan to up the TB to 63mm and get back to an idea I have to improve the air flow on its way to the TB, Install and oil recovery unit (really nice one from Moroso, acutally) Putting 'er back together and painting - ready to roar come spring! (Did I mention new brake pads?  )I'll post some pix as things progress!

Nope. That bumper went to TX with Dom's old Z.

 If I wasn't so intense on looking in the rear view mirror to find the guy racing next to me in the LS3 Silverado (with a seriously choppy idle), and getting on the brakes instead...things might have turned out better.
