Default It started with a small differential leak....

then it turned into new pinion seals, differential mount bushings, new u-joints all around, new leaf spring bushings, rear camber bar bushings, new shocks, new exhaust, trans tune up kit, radiator replacement and new fan clutch!

Mid America is my new best friend. Luckily, my old neighbor has a nice car shop nearby and does the work at cost for me. Charges no mark up on parts and is very fair with the labor. I get it back tomorrow and can't wait...

i started out by cleaning n repainting my calipers which led me to do this while i was at it.

also threw in a 200r4 tranny and a new gastank to boot.

then the next yr i decided to change the frt suspension to the VB's lower tubular Aarms w/monospring and 2 wks later i ordered the VB's upper tubular Aarms to go w/it and while i was at it i just removed the complete susp and everything in the eng compartment cept the engine and refreshed all of it. it's a desease called corvette fever
