Big%20smileWell, the wife and I are finally leaving for the east coast.  We had planned on driving the vette, but still having braking problems, so going to drive the other Chevy.  A truck.  Oh well, she just won't go in the vette if we don't have any back brakes.  Have tried all of the suggestions to date to no avail.  So the truck it is.  We will be leaving on Friday, and then on to Florida.  Will talk to ya all when we get back.  Wish is luck with the weather.

Vette(s): 1975 C3 Red, T-Tops, Black Interior. All I need is time and money! Getting there!
If you come through Ohio, either direction, give me a call and stop by.
 
Actually, put the Vette on a trailer, pull it with the truck, and stay in Cuyahoga Falls  for a few day and we can fix the brakes.

Smilethanks for the offer to help with the brakes.  I think we will not be going to Ohio, and I also think the wife is a little fed up with the brake thing on the Vette.  So will not work on it till we get back.  We did many dollars worth of work on it, and she is irritated.  So we will just relax on this trip and fix it all when we get back.  Actually going to see her 90 year old aunts and then lots of side trips for us, going and coming.  Again thanks for the offer of help.
