Default How Ya Doin'?

Just wanted to drop in and see how my forum friends are still doing. Been working hard on the Vette getting ready for the F&S photo shoot coming up after my trip to Corpus Christi Texas on the 15th.
Just went down to Daytona Beach and took some photos of LOVE, minus the hood. I always love the reaction when I drive it to the beach. Most heard phrase, "I can't believe you drove this thing on the beach". My response is, "Why not? It's just a car!" Blows them away! Been doing it for 40 years now and no regrets. Later, Glenn

Where does the chute come out? I can't see the port.

Also, what's in the back that needs the vents? Another engine?

Hey Glenn,

Glad to see that it's back on the road.

And you're almost right by saying-"It's just a car!"- It's a hellova car in my book.

Richard
