The best information on here wasn’t about this C5 FRC Corvette ….it was the wise experienced advise about having regular medical checkups. I’m glad to hear about and see that you are a survivor!!! Thumbs-up to you my brother, I been there as well.!!! 👍🏽

Thanks man I appreciate it! Puts a whole new perspective on life once you hear the C word that's for sure

AWESOME to see another C5 in your garage, and TWICE as awesome to see you with hair!!!!! So glad to see you doing well, man. Keep it up!!! Looking forward to some A+ C5 content from an honest, humble and mechanically determined DIYer. I’m not super into the drift scene, but I’m a nerdy DIYer with an ‘02Z for 18 years now and I’m 100% sure I’ll learn plenty from your escapades. Mine’s coming up on 150k miles (230k kms) and is still rocking the original suspension!?! BTW, if the original harmonic balancer is still in place it could be the source of your squeaky accessory drive. The rubber joining the inner and outer part of the pulley can separate, and if it comes apart completely it can cause quite a mess. I’d be changing/upgrading that balancer regardless if it’s original. Good luck, and looking forward to your mods and restoration! Cheers from Canada! 😁

Thanks man! Ideally I'll have a compromise car that I can do multiple events with! Good call on the balancer I haven't even looked yet. Feeling good and looking forward to making more videos!

So happy to see you with another corvette.

Thanks man!!

That's a cool-ass Corvette!

When I was in college I had a z28 99 Camaro… thing was cammed with full bolt-ons and a moser engineering rear end. I thought that car was badass… until I met a dude with a murdered out C5 that was so lopey it would shake at the stop lights. I’ve been jonesing for one ever since. Maybe you and I will end up with the same garage!! Haha my 06 DC SR5 will be picked up next week. I’ll hunt for a C5 or maybe a 996 in 2-3 years.

Nice! Good to see another C5 back bud. 😎👍

Bro!!!! Great video and glad to see a vette back in the garage. As you mentioned everyone mods there’s so much and very few people can drive a stock vette to its capabilities. Looking forward to this.

Thanks man!! Yea turns our goals are both important for life and for vehicle builds - who would have thought! Looking forward to catching up at events this summer!

Can’t wait until the build starts

I have owned many Corvettes through the years. Currently have two a C3 and a C7. While I have also owned New Balance shoes in the past I much prefer Sketchers in my advanced years. Just a FYI.

Did you know New Balance makes boots, and they look really good? Coworker had some on the other day, couldn't tell they were new balances.

Not a great buy, but certainly NOT a bad one either. Well bought. 👍 What I like about the C5's is that they are roomier if you will, than the C6. I'll enjoy watching your upcoming vids on this project. Save the Wave🙋‍♂

Not many "great buys" these days with the market being absolutely bonkers. On a different note, I don't know where you're located, but have you ever been to Corvettes at Carlisle? If not, you should really put that on your bucket list to at least go there once. Largest Vette gathering in the world.

Nice. I"ve been visiting the NCM and the factory, which is a 14-hour drive for me, every other year since 2011 with my "routine" being disrupted because of COVID. Anyway, have you been to Carlisle?

I love those wheels brah

Those rims are called wagon wheels. They only came on 1999 C5. I got the same ones on my 99 FRC. Probably going to change them to all black rims.

Congratulations sir!! 😀👍🏻
