Default It's here!!!!!!!

My 1979 Dark Blue Vette just got delivered about an hour ago and is needing a good detailing but otherwise the guys did a great job getting it here! Drove it straight home and boy was it fun! The engine sounds great and it drove great! God, I love how the engine rumbles!! Getting up tomorrow and having a wax party with my husband, the vette and his GT mustang. Pics tomorrow!

Congratulations!! I'm certain the wait made the homecoming all the more memorable. 79s are very cool.

I'm glad it all worked out for you. I guess you drove it home? What radiator did you end up using?

Pics are in a new post just done. Sunstroked, I had it auto hauled, was afraid to drive it for 6-7 hours until I've had it checked out. Got a 4 row radiator, was easiest with it being so far away, and figured I can get a better one next time. Read a post about flushing all hoses out since it's probably never been done and that seems like a nightmare. Hope my mechanic can figure it out if I print it out for him. He probably already knows how, I hope!
