I love having a car that I can race one day and show the next.
You actually removed your stereo to lighten the car for the drag race??

....just minutes ago lifted my '75 up & drained both the engine and transmission oil. I figured at 168,148 miles, it's a little past due.

...letting it drain overnight to get a good drain. Just got done driving her 100+ miles, so the oil was good and hot.

Oh.. the usual...spent money Ha Ha.
Nothing today (YET)!
This month though... New rear speakers(splits),Header wrap,
Hood Stripes(black with L-82 on them),valve cover bolts(stud type),
oil filters & oil pan (still gotta get a gasket) and some really cool
polish-"GLISTEN" -spray on, wait ,wipe then buff. Great stuff
(haven't tried it on the Vette yet but used it on my ZX11 Kawasaki,
paints not in great condition but this stuff really made it shine).
About to head out to garage to actually DO something...MAYBE
Cheers

I stacked a new C3 carpet set and car cover on the hood so I could drive the C5.
