Just wanted to give everyone an update.
 
My 1977 Red Corvette aka "Demon" is finally road worthy again after a long and I mean very long 12 month journey.  We did a complete on body resto/mod.
 
I plan to take him up to Milford, Michigan (Baker's) tomorrow afternoon to the big car event that occurs there every Sunday afternoon during the summer.
 
The only thing left to do is put in his AC condenser and refill him with R-12. But with fall coming at least I can drive him without AC for the time being. In fact the last few nights I had to turn his vent to warm because it was a little chilly inside.
 
We really insulated him well and I can tell you it has been such a pleasure driving him without burning up inside from all the heat that he used to pass right into the interior.
 
Without all the great help from the C3VR Forum we could not have done it.
 
THANK YOU!
Anni Wink

ClapAnni, That's great that things paid off for both of you. Your skills and attention to detail is what it's all about. You beat the odds and tamed the Heart"DEMON"Heart. He is definitely now devoted to the two of you. So, I might ask, what is your next "thing" to do with the "DEMON"? I hope you enjoy it, and look back on all the scars and say; "It was worth it." Thumbs%20Up

Now you need to drive the H3LL out of it and enjoy it.



Corvettes and women are the same...You want to make love to them but they keep breaking down.

Our future plans with the "Demon" are to just enjoy him for the next couple of months while it's still warm.
 
I just want to brake in the new engine rebuild and then next year truly enjoy him all summer long.
 
Corvette's get into your blood and once they bite you your hooked! Many times we just wanted to walk away (I lost many night s of sleep) but you just can't ... it's like a sickness Wits%20Endthat in the end makes you feel very good. Heart
 
We have a town called Hell Michigan and this fall the Demon will have to make a visit! LOL
