Well, I decided to sit down and go over the 75, and get an idea of what I need to not only put it back on the road after over 15 years of storage, but actually be impressed with her. After about 1/2 hour........I got totally depressed. I finally decided there was so much that I needed to put it down in writing......that sucks! So far I took off the oil pan and valve covers polished them up and am ready to replace the gaskets and seals. Got a new battery, oil and filter along with the Mystery oil as suggested, but it think this is the least of my worries. First i need to know if it's gonna start. I think my baby is upset with me cause of all those years of negect. What do you think? When I get the list made up, if your in for a laugh..... maybe I'll post it.

Yaaaaaaaaahoooooooooo I just started up the vette today, It's been stored for about 17 years and hasn't been started in well over 5 years. Hey ...it's a start. now I have to change the transmision gasket and filter, then it's the brakes. One step at a time. Car doesn't idle worth #$%@ and I believe it has a vacuum leak........but hey it started. The whole garage filled up with smoke and it travelled onto the streets. My neigbours where wondering what the heck was sitting under that car cover for close to 20 years. I think they were as surprised that it started as I was..........For those who can relate.......Thanks!

Remembering the good times is what made me want to shock that heart into pumping again. And they were good....As for pictures I'm actually to embarased to show any because of the condition it's in right now and the fact that I don't know how I can get them from digital to this post. Feeding it is what's worrying me right now, cause it has one H@#$ of an apetite. Must of been all those years of being alone in that garage without even a hello. Thanks moon.....

Since then (2002) have been doing what I call a "rolling" restoration.

What I find funny is that it started up with the fuel I had stored in the tank for over 15 years. I filled up the tank at that time thinking it would possibly reduce the amount of condensation build up. I don't know if I'm doing any damage by running it will the old fuel, but hey it starts.
