I posted here a little while back to get some info on a stall problem and got some good advice. Finally got around to getting some pics to post. This is my first Vette and I'm looking forward to getting her on the road.

First thing you should do is call up Dewitt's radiator and ask for radiator for your credit card. Trust me, i have been there before

Default Thanks

for the well wishes. The car is in decent shape and I got it pretty cheap from a kid who got way in over his head. Basically needs the interior refreshed, new tires and a trany rebuild. The engine runs pretty strong but I'm sure I'll pull it with the trany and beef it up. Oh yeah, and paint, but it's staying orange. Nothing says 70's like an orange car. Gotta love it. I'll post pics as I move through the process and I'm sure lots of questions too.
