Nothing left to do too Vette!
Hello Vetteheads.
I haven't posted on here in quite a while and there is nothing left to do the the vette! She is complete at this point. I usually lurk around in the BABES section now. :D I hate to say this but the corvette flame is not as HOT as it use to be. I did take her out today and filled up tank with a fresh load of 97 octane and also snapped a new sig. pic while I was there. Does any one else have this sluggish feeling? L8TER, Paul.

That "nothing left to do I'm satisfied" feeling lasted about a week for me then it was a nitrous upgrade and now a new 396 stroker buildup :lol:

You know, i posted this same topic a few months ago, and everybody warned me that I jinxed myself by doing it, I said Naw, not me...
Then guess what happened.
Thats right, now I have a hole that is getting fixed as you read this.......
Now I believe the jinx, so I hope that you don't suffer anything like this.
:cheers:

Re: Nothing left to do too Vette! (70BBvert)
I have to admit, I'm in the same boat. I haven't touched a wrench to the car in at least 6 months, maybe more. I need an electric choke conversion, but I haven't driven the car in over 2 months, so I'm not in an hurry. I have kinda lost interest, gotten over the Fiberglass Flue, if you will. :(
Defintely keeping the car, but now I'd just rather work around the house as soon as go to the hassle of washing the car, starting it up, and taking it out. maybe it's the winter blues, who knows.
