Moving over here & need some Minnesota help
I have now moved into the ranks of Vette ownership. I picked it up last weekend, but not without some problems on the way home. :(
The engine and oil temp guage didn't work and I lost the brakes in Rockford IL. I am looking for references for Vette mechanics in the Twin Cities area. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

WELCOME :D not only welcome to Minnesota but welcome to the greatest Corvette resource around. A few months back in either Vette magazine or Corvette Fever they had a survey with reccomended Vette mechanics by States--I'll look around--maybe someone else on here might be more organized-hee hee

Old Slow,
I am originally from Indy. I've been up here for about 5 years and know almost NOBODY.
Thanks all for your welcome.
I checked the master cylinder last night and it has fluid. I guess that means I'll need a new master. I might also update the lines while I'm at it. If that doesn't work, I guess I'll have to take it to a shop.

MNHoosier...don't be afraid to have Wardsports help with your brake problem, it probably won't be as expensive as you think. Seeing that you just purchased your Vette, Doug will also do an inspection and let you know exactly what your dealing with as far as the weak points and strong points of your Corvette. I'm happy to say that my list of "to do's" is coming to an end later this month after 3 years (if thats possible):lol:.
Enjoy! :cool:

Thanks, I might look him up. My biggest problem is getting the car up there. Obviously I can't drive it all over town having it checked out. :nono:
