Re: List the Top 3 Problems with your Vette... (TedH)
We only get to list three things....too bad.
1. Gotta get this thing painted!!!!!!!
2. Interior needs it all done!!!!!!!!
3. I would like to have a top made of the material that the new corvettes tops are made of.
I would like some great new wheels after the repaint, etc....Hopefully I will never become bored tinkering with it.

Hmmmm, let's see.....
I need an A/C bracket for the R4 compressor
Headlights are iffy
Needs some interior pieces to be refurbed
Need to finish the Steeroids install
Nothing serious, just some small stuff, thank goodness. Just got rid of my power steering leaks w/the Steeroids.

1) The F___ing body shop won't get it done so I can have it back on the road.
2) I hate the console
3) It needs AC fixed, Alarm and keyless entry installed ...also misc. parts onhand: hi vol water and fuel pumps, monospring, new valve covers.
#1 is the biggest PITA ...they have had it since January. Believe it or not. The problem is they are SORTOF doing me a favor. A major fender bender turned into an all body paint job. I hope its done soon! Black. I replaced motor, trans, and rebuilt almost everything. Still not done breakin. It should be coming back a new car! SOON!
