That's really great! I'm so happy for you! When you get the time, please list what you did and how much it was. Might be some good reference for others. We're always looking for way's to save a buck....makes for more gas money!

Congrats Scot...!!! Enjoy yourself to the max.

I just got mine back on the road tonight. I had to put in a new ignition switch. Man, there sure is a lot of garbage in the steering column. Someone sent me a post about a retired engineer from corvette. this guy has all kinds of tips on how-to repairs, Very good instructions. The address:

Hey Scot, Just a ? here because I like guys with long hair (in fact I've got one now), but how long is yours? A cute guy with long hair, a cool car, you're soooo in! I don't think you'll be getting much work done today! lol And don't forget to drive your vette to work tomorrow!!!!!!

Darla,
Its just down about half way to my butt, looks great VERY straight and I try to take care of it. I Love my hair, but I seem to have a thing for women with short hair! lol makes for interesting ways of being addressed from behind! =) I have a couple questions for you about the White Witch tho! A/C and heater are disconnected, is this an easy fix? lights always up and hissing in cabin with lights off..on it goes away....door handle (pass side outside) does not work....hmm...leather is cracked and paint could use a good wax...any help?

Scot

Hi Scot, wow, you DO have long hair! Steve's is about the same length, but because it's so darn curly, he keeps it tied back. If he doesn't, then it all goes wacky and he looks like a freak from the 60's or cousin IT or something. lol

If the leather is cracked, not much you can do.....other than having them fixed, replacing the covers and/or foam. If you just want to make them look and feel better, get a good leather cleaner. Clean them good. Then take a good leather conditioner and give the seats a good massage. A good idea that I've heard is to wrap the seats in saran wrap really well, and then let it sit outside on a warm day. Just don't get it too hot or the stuff might run down the seats and you don't want that! If that's not too your liking or doesn't work, you can always put seat covers on. I run with them all the time when I'm not showing just to keep the wear down on my seats. I also switch them back and forth every year (starting with this year but did it with my other vette) so you get even seat wear. The tops are a pain though!

Have you looked to see if all the stuff is there for the heating? Fix that first. A/C work can get expensive if you have to have it done by a shop.

Do you have all the manuals that you can find for your car? Sometimes this place is the best for good answers that work, so post your thoughts and we'll see if we can help you out!

Vacuum leaks are a pain! I was told the first thing you need to do is look at ALL the vacuum hoses and make sure there are no holes or tears. Especailly where they meet up to other parts. After that, I've got the same thing you've got kinda....my lights go up by themselves going up a grade under power. Sometimes only one which looks totally stupid! Hopefully some of the other folks here can help us both with this one!

The outside door handle has springs inside it. Have you taken it off yet and taken a look? It can also be INSIDE the door itself. There's a "long rod" in there that seems to always be a problem with these cars.

Could some of you folks give more help here please? I don't think I've given him much to work with here! lol
