It's at home
Nothing spectacular but it feels good to know it's not in a not so secure hangar 50 miles away anymore + got to drive it for the first time outdoors (although with hardly any brakes and almost no handbrake) 
Soon to be handed over to a competent shop for a inspection of my work, sort the brakes, alignment etc. Luckly i prepped its new home with the frames i found in the attic + the liftetime NCM certificate still signed by Zora

Nice looking Vette....what engine is in it? Auto or four speed? Rear End? good luck getting the brakes sorted out... maybe you will be lucky but think four new calipers, pads, all new hoses, new master cyclinder and a proportioning valve if you have one in that model year! You can ask how I know all that as a 76 owner who wanted it safe enough to run one time on a road racing track..and did.

Nick,
Happy to see your car is finally home. I'm glad I was able to stop by and see it in person; make sure you schedule a trip over here and stop by, I'll have a cold one waiting.
It looks like your garage got smaller too... 
Keep us updated.

Thanks everyone!
I hug it every day now for quality time
No outdoor shots, it started raining soon after it arrived home. It has a 330 HO crate, 700r4 and a 3.36 rear end. Everything brake related is new, I just can't get the air out, or one of the fittings could be leaking it has a firm pedal for a couple of days but then goes to the floor again
Funny you mentioned it Scott, I have 1ft in front and 1ft at the rear left, my wife ain't to happy either, from now on her car has to stay outside as well
