It has begun!!!!!!!!!!
yesterday I finally got my reenlistment bonus in my checking account... That got the ball rolling on the mods for the vette. Took the heads and manifolds to the machine shop for rework. when I get back from Texas, I'm ordering my suspension kit. Needless to say, with the amount of stuff that I have to get done before the May 1 show, i'm gonna be a busy duck!

Going to Sheppard for the UT&W (rewriting the career field training plan for my job) and you can bet your butt I will be driving the vette to the CI!

It's the first time i am doing major repair work with out dad being by my side. I feel I can do it... Uncle Sam trusts me to work on my own with 2.2 billion dollar aircraft...so my car should be relatively simple compared to that...

Aflac,
I was in Sheppard AFB not to long ago. I was there for my 3 level and 7 level courses. What a boring place. Spent many a night partying in the TDY dorms. That was the highlight there. Oh... and watching the Army dudes running PT while we were drinking a beer in front of them. lol. I'm just a "Guard Bum" from Niagara Falls AB. But have been getting our share of the action. Feels like active duty status somtimes.
Good luck on your vette project! Congrats on your reenlistment!
