SPRING CLEANING: My Twin Turbo Z06 Gets Some Much Needed TLC For The 2023 Season!

- My twin turbo C6 Z06 has taken a bit of a backseat over the last year or so with other project cars on the channel. In this video I pull the cover off and wake it up from a long winters nap and start taking care of the to-do list. A big ticket item ive wanted to cover is the infamous C6 dash peeling or dash delamination. It was a big project but I got it taken care of! More to come on this car and of course all the other projects!

“I’m the upholstery guy now” had me rolling 😂😂

😂😂😂😂😂 #legend
That was definitely funny! Chris is very quick on his feet, one smart Whittey guy!! Great sense of humor too! Very talented mechanic!
Too funny
Yup. He killed it😂
Your wife is a good soul for helping out in the garage. Amazing work as usual. Well done.
And having patience
Awesome job on the dash! You are def going to help a lot of people with that same issue.
Getting it done! So satisfying to not need to depend on anyone but yourself.
Don't even have to start the video before I give it a thumbs up. Excited for any content!
Fantastic results on the dash! I'm always motivated by how resourceful you are with your projects.
Good Job brother, I've watched some of your videos and the one thing I always notice about you is, you're a perfectionist in everything you do. Also I live in Maryland Not too far from that DAP company they make great products. Once again great workmanship. And cool Whips/Ride's/Cars... Lol
Hey man I love the build I recently purchased a 2006 c6 base model that has been supercharged with a vortech v3, a Texas speed stage 3 cam, and a built stage 2 1/2 6l80 transmission and boy she is fun
I installed one of those Evap Canisters on my 2006. Pain in the ass for such a small swap, in a tight spot.
I had to laugh in the beginning of the video you struggled a little bit to get out of the car. Wait to you get to your sixties and try that. But I was Just like you for almost 50 years with my cars. Had 16 corvettes over my life time plus a host of other cars. Would obsesably clean them and take them to car shows. I once took 2 vettes, a Viper and a Prowler to a car show. Fun times!
As my old mentor told me, who had just his old truck, never married, and a hangar full of planes, “son, if it’s got tits or tires, it’s bound to give you trouble.”
BTW, I have the same attitude about this kind of stuff. "It's already bad... how much worse could I possibly make it?". Think it turned out really well. Staples should help keep it from creeping back up. 🤜
The leather on my Maserati coming off as well. It’s glued to dash.
Dealer would have the the same thing just did but for $1100
Dude, is there anything you haven't been able to complete? 😊
Another banger LETS GO 🔥
Also, I would love to see a c5 project but I might be biased lol
Get the AEM Electronics Replacement Wideband UEGO Controller Air/Fuel Ratio Gauge Components 30-2004 from Summit or Jegs. Amazon's is not the real deal.
Came in a real Bosch box
Good job bro. 🏆 I would have heavily moisturized that leather before putting the dash back in. It's hard to get in the tight areas near the windshield later. How far away is the WBO2 sensor from the outlet of the turbos? If it's too close the heat could be killing them. I also recommend silicone vacuum lines. They work so well, stay tight and don't breakdown like rubber.
leather will shrink from it just drying out. which is counter intuitive to what condition you want your interior
Hey Mr hybrid 😅 first vid I saw of yours and you just gained a subscriber. Great job on the dash, can’t stop looking at those taillights. I’m looking for some taillights for mine. What are those you have? I love ‘em .
Thanks! I made them out of the OEM housings
My luck! Just as soon as I got everything put back together and was applying that dash dressing it would have started delaminating again! lol 😂 Good job! 😎🤙🏼
I miss the red Vett.
The drivers side lower dash trim looks like it's not seated at the bottom.
The fucking Hybrid licenses plate got a laugh out of me.
As always another great video keep up the awesome work brother I wish I had a fraction of your talent. I love watching your videos.
I guess I’m happy my c6 had the crappy plastic dash 😂
If one man can do it so can I. Thats my motto.
Armrest coming up?
I also enjoy seeing date stamp codes. I wish some of them had peoples names on it so I can be like "John Doe... in 2004 you did a heck of a job."
Really nice job on the dash, Chris, it's a shame that the C6 & C7 Corvettes have this issue
Becoming one of my go to channels, love the content keep it up 👍
Darn, there’s nothing you can’t do. I really like your work. Been watching since you started. Keep up the good work
I appreciate that! 🤙
Did someone say cold start?
COLD START
I've always said, if one man can do something, another man can! Great job Chris!
Great looking job! I was already thinking maybe the shop knew that the project was over their head, and I am totally serious about that!!
If, when you finish, just about anything can outrun the car, something isn't wired just quite right!!
How do you find time to do all these projects? Are you some sort of stock trader that works 2 hours a day and makes 20k a trade and the rest of the day you mod your cars😂😂😂
Shoot I wish man
Nice job bro you have the midas touch
I was not expecting that dash to come out as mint as it did lol. Great work!
Wifey with the random thumbs up from the drivers side 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂
Hey Chris! I love the content! I am new to the channel and new to the c6 platform. I had a quick question for you or anyone that could help me. Is the stock radiator holding up well for you? Mine has about 93,XXX on it and I just got it back from the shop from getting the ATI balancer put on and long and behold there is a new fresh hole in the radiator.
No issues so far. They probably damaged the radiator during install
@@ChrisSullivan69 that's what I was thinking as well. I guess I will just be ordering another OEM one then! Thank you Chris and cant wait for more c6 videos! :)
Last time I saw a rpm hanging issue was a vacuum problem
What Taillights and brand rear tires size. Man she looks good 👍
I got forged aluminum 20x13's with the carbon fiber faces and I'm looking for a decent tire. Maggie 2300 ls3 putting out roughly 600 to the tire.
Man! I doubted you would have been able to repair it. Keep us updated with the results.
Great work man turned out great. Love the channel and how you can fix everything by yourself. 🙂 Your fan from Saudi Arabia
Honestly, the Corvette C6 Z06 is my actual dream car in velocity yellow. Except they are rare to come across in the UK so you only see them once in a blue moon. In fact I watched your entire series of the twin turbo Corvette, as I was watched Mat Armstrong's twin turbo Gallardo LP560-4 series a while back, then the thought of a twin turbo Corvette C6 Z06 came to mind. Really loving the car honestly and hopefully we can see more twin turbo Corvette content in the future, although I am also interested in your other projects so I'll be sure to check them out. I'm sure the Corvette could smoke the Gallardo given the opportunity, lol
Pulling my/ any dash is the ONLY NO-NO in my head... lol. Congrats... you're definitely a badass REAL owner... guess I will graduate but jeeezus... lol.
Nice work keep going 👍🏼
CLIFFHANGER!!! Chris......what was the oil leak!!?? LOL!!
wow that was impressive you have many talents
Looks great, now lets see how it holds up! I have feeling high heat w/ long & consistent exposures is a major contributor to this issue. A garage/sun shade would probably work wonders for owners of these . . .
Chris, have you ever heard of LeeCAutoparts out in Maryland? I think you could benefit from them greatly!
When you say all makes/models, you're not kidding. Had this issue in my 2020 Ram Limited. Luckily it happened right under the 36k mile mark and the dealership replaced my entire dash. I think you did an amazing job on your dash!
The noises that car makes are incredible. I wish I had the money to twin turbo mine just so it would sound like that haha
Anything is possible except death.. my mom used to say.. good job 👍🏼
Shout out from maine
This is a really really random request, but I think making a 10 hour looping vid of the vette idling would pull some huge numbers 😂 Always seems to do well on TH-cam. Would also give me THE video to fall asleep to every night lmao
I saw that mini bike :)
Hi Chris. The Gate City Corvette Club has its 41 Spring Fling all corvette show at the Budweiser plant in Merrimack this coming Sunday, May 28. Sure would be nice if you could bring your Z06 to the show.
Next up... aftermarket steering wheel. 🙃
Nothing bothered me as much as that factory steering wheel in mine.
Awesome job that dash turned out great! Those Bosh 02 sensors are complete junk, I have to use them on my 67 Cuda with a Holley sniper EFI setup and I'm probably on my 7th one they don't seem to last more than 1k miles if your lucky and at 100$ a pop it adds up quick!
That looks great man I think the old upholstery guy wanted too make a buck 😂 well now he's not cause you the upholstery guy now 😂 . Now when your not busy help me with my 2001 Camaro SS need to recover some seats 😂 please and thank you 🙏🙏🙏 jk . Great video man love the channel got to say that yellow mustang is 🔥🔥🔥 loved that era of cars 🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘🤙
I chased that code on my 2018 GMC for a year. If it comes back is the EVAP canister. I replaced every part twice before I found the issue.
WHAT, I was never pre notified about a COLD START. :( sh**.
Your dashboard wasn’t damaged because of the sunlight! It’s because of engine heat under the hood. The engine heat,You really can’t filing it, when you’re driving. Both sides of the protection wall must be Isolated.
Thanks for taking the time to complete this video. Just purchased a 13 427 convertible 2 months ago and noticed the dash separation.
Happy to know with a little patience it can be fixed. I’m still going to hire someone to complete this task for me as being 69 can’t bend like I use too. Again thanks !
Wether is a mechanic or an upholstery guy or anything relateded. To cars.. , they dont like clients that know a lot about cars.. Gearheads. I, ve encountered with several idiots in a situation where you know what is wrong with the car.. But you dont have time to fix it. And tell them, fix this, and they tell you.. ( I have. To check first and blah blah blah and I tell them straight up "this is the issue fix it"i have tools and I have knowledge I just dont have time.. I have a full. Time job. This is my hobbie, And they do it and they say.. Yes you were right.. That was the issue.. They just want to have stupid clients so they can charge more.. 😂😂 The upolstery guy wanted toCharge more , he cannot Charge the same. He would ve done the same you did and tell you that he replaced the part. 😂😂 I know how they think.
Man, your channel is the sh*t. I don't watch full vids until I ran up on this channel. Keep going, it is going to blow up one day. The dash dime you drop was sick!!!
The videos are always getting better! Car looks great
I feel the same way bout mine 🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽‼️ time to let the c6 wake 🆙
Chris, what vette cover you using?mines some kind of elastic type I don’t like. Lol
COLD STARTTTTT!!!
Of all the endless threads I've read on the Corvette Forums and other places, that's by far the best end result I've seen someone achieve. I've seen people inject adhesive through the top, cover it all with new leather, cut/splice in a new section, etc.... but the guy that has never done it before nails it. If I weren't so afraid of busting off more plastic tabs in my interior, I might try this one.
Thank you for share all the process,I have the same problem in the same color 😂 Abraço de Portugal
God damn, dude. The black on black is slick. Sick car even with no mods. But of course, the more the merrier. Also, really enjoyed the video 👍
Always look forward to your videos!!
Nice job! Only thing different I would have done was use a good leather conditioner and let it soak in so it made the leather a little more pliable for you.
THAT Z06 ITS A BLAST 💥 KEEP ROLLING MAN 👍👏
COLD START!
Had to have my 2008 vette dash repaired for the exact same reason even though the car is garage kept. The shop was able to pull the leather tight and glue it back in place. That was about 5 years ago, still looks like new. Awesome job on the repair looks great.
They say put together Ikea furniture with your wife to see if you'll make it but I think it's really assembling a C6 dash with your wife that's the true test.
Vac leak means your e-vap canister is probably OK....?
Why do they think those guages are dying? That's odd. Maybe an over volt?
Good work. Now if only Dodge truck dashes were repairable 😫
I have that 0449 code on mine. Now I know how easy it is to fix. Thank you Chris.
More than good enough to not pay someone $1000+ to get an indistinguishable result. Motivating me to glue the edges of my dash pad where it's peeling up 💪
Terminator and 427 Z06 ..... DOPE!!!
I was going to give you a thumbs down because of having a Ford in your garage but that C6 is so sick I had to give you a thumbs up 👍🏼
Do you think that the steam helped more than the heat gun? I would think so, maybe putting some moisture back into the leather. The roller was also a huge plus. Well done
dash came out great! Which I didn't doubt, you do great work.
12:34 how did you remove the old glue from the leather? Also did the acetone degrade the base underneath?
you are my biggest inspiration, only thing i can ask for is some gopros for different povs during drives🤙
Any idea why your car keeps blowing the wide band o2 sensor?
Love the vette !!! Btw what's the beat called you used for the dash tear down ? love it !
Wow...that dash came out amazing. You give hope to those who have none on doing things like this. Great Job!
Yeah , it didn't sound happy on either start up . Awesome Car
The moral of the story is never let someone tell you that it won't work. You proved different. 😂
Thank goodness the the upholstery guy was too bust. Saved you some money and you also showed other Vett owners with the same issue how to fix it.
Chris, how do you get away with full tint on you Z06 windows in NH.
****, man if i had a garage, this video has encouraged me to tackle this task myself. I have a shrunken dash thats not as bad as tbis one.
GREAT JOB CHRIS !! YOU SHOW ALOT OF PATIENCE !!! JESSE VIA LAS VEGAS
Looks good young man and hopefully that adhesive holds up this time
you made this look easier then it is, i have basically everything pulled out but something is keeping the dash in , and i cant find it
