Hi Dale,
I am from Melbourne Australia. I've owned my 1990 right hand drive Corvette for over 5 years now. Glad to see another Aussie driving these great cars. Have to catch up sometime and talk C4 Corvette's. Are you in the Corvettes of Melbourne or Corvettes Geelong?

DT86,
Very impressed with your build. My car when I got it had a reasonable paint job but I had to do a light restoration on everything else. Engine, electrics, interior, engine bay and suspension.



Cheers,
Gary.

Thank you Gary. I appreciate the kind words. As you know these become fun projects. Just plugged my headlights back in last night and one crapped out. So It seems like they are the project car that keeps giving. Lol. Best of luck with yours.

Why do one project at a time when you can do 2?

Pretty cool. I thought the Edelbrock pieces might be 'vintage' but a quick check indicates that they are still in production. Nice addition!

One thing I have been wondering, how difficult was it to re-mount and align the hood. That sucker is heavy.

You are going to have one very nice car, and very soon it appears.

Everything for our cars is "vintage" lol. Hood stayed on the car.

Been a little while since I worked on her. Been busy with this.



But I managed to get the intake manifold bolted down. And got the egr and thermostat housing on.

Nice;

That brings back memories.....I use to run the Edelbrock base plate and runners several years ago.

Keep up the great work!

Way back when, I had big tube runners. I had to grind the edge of the valve covers for clearance, I think. All back to stock now though.

Been busy, DT? Haven't seen you post here for a while. Dangit, don't you know we're all eager to see the completed project? Hmmm?
