It's Home !!!!! WITH NEW PICS IN THE SUN !!!!!!
Finally 
First ride home............
Better pics tomorrow in the sun
wet sanded, buffed and detailed the car last saturday. spent this week doing the punch list
and I do feel like I've been PUNCHED out getting this car finished 
the car is running great
but the bto trans temp guage was reading 220 5 miles into my ride home through the city at 30-35 mph. I had the A/C on 
and I left the trany in 3'rd not allowing the trans to shift into overdrive! I sure hope the guage is wrong 
the engine ran at 185 the whole way......... what are the chances it's the guage????

I wish I was able to run the 255 50 because it filled the wheel well nicely

Great looking vette. Looking forward to seeing some pics in the sun. Have fun with it now that the punch list is done.
