Default Back to the vette

Well after being absent for several months due to work, family, work injuries ect. I want to get back to work on my baby. I figured I had to come here first as it will be about another month before I can spend a dime on the car without fear of the monster attacking me (monster=wife :P). I smashedy elbow on my dirt off of kleg horn road in the el cajon pass. Doc said I bruised the bone severely stretched the tendons that control finger movement in my right hand. With me out of work wife in school an no job selling the vette became necessary. So said my wife so I gutted the interior and pulled apart under the hood. Had several people come by but no buyers !!!!!! Clever but hurtful to my wallet. Now I'm back to work an wife got hired at a hospital full time RN. So I have a few months to catch up on bills an my car will be slowly going back together. Just wanted to say hi an ask if I missed any more rides north or any good group meet ups? Being on the forum was impossible while I couldn't even use my arm to work on car let alone try to make it driveable.

Thanks allot I had it on the road and was thrilled with it but it is still so far from ready to be driven anywhere lengthy. I want to do SOO much to it but everytime I get my funds lined up something happens. So is life I guess I am getting exhaust and all door/t-top seals done as my priority right now. Next after that the dash, wiring, tachometer, an all new vacuum lines
