Tire carrier is installed.
Corvette is registered.
Wipers are installed. Those were rubbing on the hood scoop. We adjusted the hood and still had to make some clearance. Not a big deal.
Engine and exterior detailed.

We still need to do the following:
Insurance
Waiting on the speedometer gear.
Waiting on the choke parts.
Figure out where the vacuum leak is since now we can hear the engine.
We have an alignment scheduled for next week.

Take her out and let her loose. I will have to teach him how to drive a stick. He is still rough with the clutch.

Oh yeah, fender is all glassed up and exposed. Thats fine for now. Cosmetic.
