Great pics! I live in Rhode island - you should take a visit to Newport in the summer. Very nice...
Just be careful, as Newport's police tend to strictly enforce the sound levels, especially during the summertime. (Sorry - I just checked out your public profile. I didn't realize you're a native Rhody!)

Its always cool to come out of somewhere, after you had a great day, and get to cruise the Vette back home. Icing on the cake!!
Your paint looks really good. I saw you posted in another thread that your getting ready to paint. You changing color?

Hey, it's a Holley, Bigger hammer, lots of swearing, bowls off and on who knows how many times, but that day always comes when you do that accidental 1/16" of a turn on the metering block and PERFECTION, just what I expected.

Hi HD,
Your car looks great in that afternoon light. Tell your passenger that no matter her age that light makes her look 5 years younger and 5 pounds thinner.
I was in Newport for the America's Cup Races in about 1978?. I remember a place called The Black Pearl, right on a dock.
Nice Car!!!
Regards,
Alan
