Imagine them at night! :lol2:

Thanks Todd for taking the great pics.

I am definately interested in the perch adjustment too.

I also look forward to our next meet. As an addtional thought, I am very close with the owner of my corvette shop. He is located in Mundelein (about 10 minutes from where we met at On the Border) and the shop has two lifts. I'm sure I can work out something with him for a Saturday morning/afternoon for us. That way, we could knock out two at a time and have the trucks on lifts verus jack stands..to make things easier. What else do we need? I know I heard something about a Spring compression tool?

Um, I'm sure we'd be up for that! I have an air compressor and air tools we can use. Guys might ***** out their lift, but few are cool with strangers touching their tool. Uh, I meant TOOLS. I probably have everything we need, minus the spring compressor, but we can rent that from a local auto parts store. Where in Mundelein is this guy? I know that area pretty well, but can't picture a Vette shop.

I'll start the conversation with him and see what he thinks. I gotta assume he has a spring compressor.

HP Performance Corvettes


A bunch of us hang out every saturday morning to talk shit and eat donuts. He drives an H2 and loves the Raptor. Here is my Vette. All of you guys are welcome any Saturday. We are car guys, not "vette" guys.

He installed my Magnaflow and ADD Bumper so he is more than happy to work on Raptors. He built a crazy H2 for a guy, total ground up including new crate engine.

Yea, post something if you end up scheduling s perch party. Couldn't make it up last weekend (son in football so that's all we do in the fall) but would still like to meet up with you all.

I've all ready got my Rap on Mid perch but would be happy to bring my spring compressors up. I even got both styles so we can experiment to see whether it quicker to do it on the truck or take the shocks off.

How are you liking the mid-perch?
