Still waiting on my parts...times a ticking...hoping they get here soon so I can put it back together. 
Steering box is in, rebuilt PS control valve (which was new), got new PS pump (again), new water pump is in, carb rejetted to lean it out. Just gotta get the PS pump back in (waiting on the new hardware), put fan and alternator back in, put in fluids, and replace speedo cable seal and I should be good to go.
I hate re-doing work I've already done, hopefully this time things will stay put and won't spring leaks.

Well Paco nobody will ever accuse you of not working on your car. I really hope you get the ultimate gear head reward, and are able drive that beautiful car on the fall cruise this Sunday...

FYI: One of my friends who lives in Westfield, Mass just sent me this: I suggest the group change the course to avoid I91 from the Ct border to 291. The road is riddled with construction issues. Holes, raised structures,and bridge repair. He is going to meet us At Randalls Farm.

I will not be able to make it this year. As usual, I am sure it will be a great time for everyone going. Hopefully, I will be there next year. The '68 is going for painting in a month or so.

Was hoping you guy’s could make it. Post some pix of the 68 before and after paint - like Nino said, love that car!

Get those Vettes ready; washed, gas full, air pressure in tires, snacks, drinks, radios, GPS units, coolers, ca$h, cameras.
The concrete patches on I -91 in Springfield were paved over last night - nice and smooth now.
Rt. 21 in front of Randall's has been scarrified for paving. Raised structures are painted orange. Easy to see and dodge. We'll be about 1.5 miles on this. Maybe we'll get lucky and it'll be paved by Sunday.
Clear Sailing for the rest of Route.
Possibility of a light shower Sunday morning, then partly cloudy and 60. Still some color in the trees. Should be a wonderful day.
Can't wait to see the line of beautiful Vettes on the twisties again.

Nice Brother. My Baby is all cleaned up and ready to go. Getting my cameras ready for an extra special fall cruise!

Dave, won't be able to make it. The vette is on the lift at my buddies shop getting new z51 bars and links and exhaust. Thought that we would have it ready by today, but the parts came in late and it wont be finished until Monday night. Damm. Wishing everyone a good time!

Wow. Two down. Too bad Ken and Frank. You're going to miss a good one. Note to self...don't work on car just before a big ride. Catch you guys on the next one.
Any solo drivers willing to bring a Texas Vette owner with them? He's in the area working and wants to ride with the Posse. Frank can tell you how to reach Sleazy Rider.
