Hey Gang !!!!!
Well my spring start up has not gone to plans as life has a strange way of changing them..After finally getting the stiches out of my hand , I was able to get all the junk off my car and it saw the light of day today!start up went as smooth as a babys' bottom it was the warming up part that started the frustation, transmission line leaks, headlights not going up,brakes soft and spongy etc....but I got to hear her run and rev the engine and all that fun stuff, now it's time to order more parts(as I get the evil eye from the wife and then remind her how she got the mustang GT convert.but thats another story) So it looks like I've got alot of work to do before I can go crusing or get to my modifications I was planning to do but I am glad that she is finally out of the garage
Well it's time to get ordering and looking for more parts All the best to you Bill

That's a sweet looking Car-vette ya gots there!!! So, it might be a little temperamental(heavy on the "mental"), and may want to leak a little here and there...heck, that's half the fun of having one!
I likes the "millivanilli red" description!!! Too funny!

Yes indeed - the sweet smell of exhaust...!!! GREAT looking "chromie"...!!! Gotta
a RED Vette...!!!

Almost all of the snow is gone now (but more coming over the next couple of days) and it was sunny with temps in the 40s over the weekend. Took the opportunity to get "BIGBRRD" out of the garage and pointed at the sun to cook the hood paint a little more. It'll go back to the bodyshop after Easter to get the final CS&B done and the rest of the graphics put on. Also backed "The Beast" out and let it run for awhile. "The Toy" will be tucked away at the storage facility until after Easter so have to wait abit to hear it rumble. Lots of work to do on it before it will be ready for the road though. At least it will be home...!!!
Im also in the neighborhood if ya need a hand with heavy lifting or beer opening. Paul might be the better looking of the local guys BUT I am much funnier.. Just ask Joel.. Welcome to the club! My uncle used to live right by the Hess station on rt9 so in Morganville..
