Just wanted to give everyone an update to our on body restoration of our 77 Corvette.
 
We started this project last fall and are now almost at the end of the tunnel. At times we thought that we went way over our heads ... this car seemed to fit us at every corner.
 
Tonight we finally started up the newly rebuilt engine and it worked like a charm! So HAPPY!!!!!Big%20smile  All the past frustrations were so worth it. This bad boy will now have around 350 horses instead of the original weak 180. Gotta love Edelbrock.
 
Now, we do have a few gremlins to still work out but hopefully those will be an easy fix (famous last words) Evil%20Smile. At least I know that if I do run into a problem that we can't solve I can always count on the great people here at the C3VR Forum for help. You all have been the absolute best .... thank you all again.
 
 
My Heart is still pounding from the roar of the engine,
Anni ... 77 Red Corvette
