Maybe we can take a ride together sometime. I just got my exhaust done and all hooked up. The only thing left is a front end alignment. It really is not that bad but it should be done. Glad to hear it is running good.

Hey Gordon, That is funny, after all of the work we have done on our cars the next thing on my list is an alignment too. Where do you plan to take yours? I am hoping to have mine done tomorrow. And yes, I think we are long overdue for a get together cruise, seeing as how we are practically neighbors.
What are you up to this Saturday after dinner?
I finish work around 5:30.

The way I feel right now, I would be happy to buy a round for us all!
I just got back from a wonderful celebration dinner. My daughter and I went to a nice Italian restaurant and had a great time. The Vette perfomed flawlessly, except for a little "burn off" smell at first. After dinner all of the smells were gone.
I would also like to thank all of you for your friendship and support. It has been a long road, between removing one motor and getting another installed. As we all know, this forum is THE BEST !!!

As far as the weekends I spend them at LBI. I usually take off Friday afternoon and come home late Sunday or Monday morning. Let me know if you find a good alignment guy.
I have an appointment Wednesday morning at Al B's Wheel Align Service, 3904 Marlton Pike, Pennsauken (at Rt. 130 & Marlton Pike) 663-0077.
We will just have to do our get together cruise one evening during the week!
