It's fixed and your dad can drive it. That's what counts. We were just telling you some of our experiences with the brakes on these old cars. It'll probably be fine for a long time. I would watch those other two calipers for leaks though. After sitting for such a long time, they probably will start leaking, sooner or later. We've all been in that position of needing something fixed yesterday and not having the time or equipment to do the job yourself. It happens. Now enjoy that sucker!

then theres all the other little things that need to be done, weather stripping, were gonna get new carpet, redo the seats etc..the body is good with the exception of a couple scratches here and there.
i want to put an exhaust on it too. my friend has a dakota r/t with the 360 and has a flowmaster on his truck with side pipes and its loud and sounds clean. i think i want to do side pipes on the vette too. we will see though.
next brake job i will do myself for sure, but ive never done brakes, and i wouldnt have had enough time either way since i waited until the 23rd to take it to get fixed

notice the weather stripping on the passenger t top....thatll be the next thing to get replaced. like i said theres alot of little things but as far as running, it runs pretty good for been sitting for 4 years, after we change oil and all fluids it should be just fine. only has 38k original miles.
