Vette(s): 1971 convertible,375 HP 350ci,Muncie 4-speed,Edelbrock aluminum heads and RPM air-gap manifold,HEI distrubiter - old school mechanical tach drive. LOUD side exhaust!
So I've been luring around for a  while, not really doing much with the vette. I finally got sick of the interior, and since I already have most of the parts, I decided to jump in Shocked. Here's a pic. I'm waiting on a new tach cable, then I can start putting humpty dumpty back together again. I'm limiting the scope - the wiring actually looks pretty good, so no new harness. I'm replacing all the bulbs and fuses while I have access.
 
Speaking of bulbs - why the heck do the speedo and tach have like 6 bulbs each? Probably just to annoy me...
 
We'll see if I can get everything back together........Wacko

Vette(s): 1980 L-48 still in the middle of a frame-off.
taking it apart is easy.... putting it back together takes time... a lot of time.  It will look good when finished.



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

It is a rule of Corvettes:  What you took out does NOT fit back in the same space.
