First off, I`m NOT a vette owner but having just gone thru a hail
storm yesterday in Texas, I wondered if the hail (pea size) would hurt
(make pock marks) in the newer corvette bodies if parked in an open
area? Are vettes still fiberglass bodies?
Obviously one shouldn`t park outside if you know it`s going to hail
but in Texas, you don`t always know.

I should think that if it was indeed "TEXAS" sized hail, there would be
nothing left of the car but a pile of smoldering rubble.
`Vette`s are just as susceptible to hail damage as any other car,
perhaps even more so. There is no such thing as a "dent" in fiberglass,
and yes, new Vettes are still being made of fiberglass.

Well where did we get to then… Last time we updated this project we were wheeling the Audi out of Chris at Kustom Kolors booth after achieving the matt finish we were looking for! This was the Friday before the Players show where the car was to be debuted. Then it all kind of went wrong for a while!
I had this crazy idea that 20’s would work on the car after selling a set of 19″s the same style that week.. How wrong could i of been. Whilst an awesome wheel we just couldn’t get the car down low enough on these wheels once the tyres were mounted ( A story in itself but lets save that one!)
The wheels (20″ Rs4’s with Yoko S-drive’s.)
When test fitted before the tyres we were feeling very smug with ourselves and though we had it nailed oh well you cant win them all, It did look nice though at this stage.
But it wasn’t to be so with a few hours before leaving for the Players show in Essex it was stressful times (For which i apoligise for my grumpyness to everyone). Chris had an Idea…. What about them wheels of Ollies S4… Humm they couldn’t work could they…? At this stage i was stressed and couldn’t even be botherd anymore but after a call to Ollie we pulled one off to give it a try and damm i think we could be out of the shit! Game on for tomorrow we will go to the ball! (I Have to say a HUGE thankyou to Ollie for helping us out!). Getting to the show was stress free with a carfull we arrived at the show to be greated with this! More on: http://gwerks.wordpress.com/2009/09/26/project-fatality-continued/
