Got the vette on the road!!!!!

I just want to say THANKS! to everybody. I just bought my vette 3 weeks ago and its been on jack stands till 3 days ago. I did a lot of work to it with the help of people on here!

New radiator, calipers, all filters, all fluids, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, etc.

The result - I put a at least a hundred miles on it over the last few days - with NO ISSUES!!! I love driving the vette around! More work to do, but at least I can enjoy it now while doing the other stuff!

Savor those miles like nothing else. That is the reason for all your hard work.

HA HA, I agree, mine has been off and on the jack stands for 5 years or so but I am finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel. Hopefully next month I will be driving the 72 and complaining about needing to fix the A/C!

Enjoy the new ride! Very happy for you!

Thanks Guys! Its fun to drive - like a life size go cart....lol. Only 190hp, but still a blast! But today I did drive home fromwork in 95 deg weather and no a/c. Got home to find a leak in heater hose, brakes need bled a little better, and my alarm went off unexpectedly.....lol. Much more to do!!
