Vette(s): 1972 LT-1 convertible with factory air. 2017 Black Rose Grand Sport convertible.
Had to replace the fuel sending unit and am in the middle of cleaning up the surface rust on the upper windshield frame.

Just bought a used motorhome, so fixing little minor things on that to get it ready to go are on the front burner.

Vette(s): 1973 L82 4 Speed Coupe - Very original, well documented driver/survivor. 2016 Bend Regional NCRS Top Flight.
First let me say that I know everyone east of the Miss. has been getting pounded this year. I lived in WI., MI. and OH., for the first 50+ years of my life so I know what you're going through. All I can say on this end of the country, winter was nada and we're having the best spring in the five years I've lived here. My winter projects have included a lot of work out in the garage, fertilizing the lawn and mowing. Supposed to be almost 70 tomorrow !!
 
So now on to the serious stuff - my Corvette projects so far this year:
 
1. New radiator in January - wow what a difference.
 
2. Orig. carb rebuild and dist. timing tune - huge difference x 2.
 
3. Correct/date coded alternator rebuilt and installed a few weeks ago.
 
4. Just installed a correct/date coded rebuilt starter this week.
 
5. The rebuild of my original water pump is done and should be on it's way back.
 
6. When the original water pump is back in, then it's time for all those fancy GM belts, hoses etc.
 
On a side note, while I was replacing front sway bar bushings and rear leaf spring cushions, I verified I still have the original, date coded shocks. Hmmmm, 43 year old shocks, pretty good shape, no leaks and they still ride great - but their 43 years old !!!!

Vette(s): 1974 Coupe 358ci 4 speed Black w/Medium Saddle interior w/79 custom leather seats. . 1999 C5 Convertible, 6 speed, Atomic orange, Oak interior.
Had a big winter, project wise on my car. Replaced rear diff with Bair's rebuilt unit, got the body mounts replaced, replaced leaking gas tank, replaced heater core (still need to do hoses yet) so far. Still alot to do but mostly smaller stuff. Hope to get most done by May.  Lost my lead mechanic to knee surgery Cry (not me) so it might not all get done
