Default SUCCESS! ...and THANK YOU!

Got it started and running yesterday! Been a long journey, LoL! Just wanted to say thanks to all that replied in my postings, whether it pertained to my question or not...it all helps!

Here's a quick shot...took it before hooking up a few more things. Not a perfect show car, but have a little more cleaning to do. Check out the Corvette logo on the valve cover. My girlfriend hand-painted it for me! I'm lucky that way...she's not afraid to get her hands dirty and help me once in a while. Most the time helping me clean parts, but that's a big time saver for me.

Anyway, thanks again to all...and don't worry, I have plenty more questions in me. I'll have a few up within the hour, LoL...

Before we decided that your comment has merit, does she have pictures of herself? Preferably in the nude? It's so hard to see what people are about when they are wearing clothes.

Nude parts scrubbing! Awesome idea!

If I could get this running again, I think I can do just about anything! Will get to work on that right away!

Don't have to be scrubbing anything. Not that I will notice.

Maybe I'll get one of those dash cams and face it inward...and go over a lot of bumps then.

"Creative" is definitely the word...especially when some of the parts stopped being made 10+ years ago...
