For the first time in 5 years I started my corvette last night.

 

Here is a video…  to truly appreciate it you’ll need speakers

Quite a few changes since it last ran.  I was shocked it fired up with almost no effort.

 

now that I know there are no mechanical problems, I get to put the body back on.

LOLLOL I've never been called patient before!!LOLLOL

 
Tomorrow I plan to fire up the beast one more time.  This time ill set the video camera up outside the building and ill put that insanely loud spal fan (only 1 of the 2 was running) on the temperature switch so it doesnt kick in until needed.
