2. The top part of the needle on the oil pressue guage is missing.
3. My fuel filiter gets dirty quick; indicating my gas tank has cancer.

You guys are bush league. Prepare for shock and awe :D
1) I can't start the motor after all my winter project work because the exhaust is still not installed.
2) I can't install the exhaust because the 4 speed is still not completely correct.
3) Slip yoke won't go far enough into the Muncie tailshaft for the driveshaft to bolt up. Can't finish the car until that's worked out.....
Some winter project, lasting from December until Labor Day....
:mad

1. A/C doesn't work (I'm working on that!)
2. Powersteering leaks, and leaks and leaks (I've given up and am saving for Steeroids!
3. Paint needs work, after looking at all the places that need some touch up, I might as well strip the car and paint all of it!
Then there are the multitude of things I want to work better or to replace because they are worn.

Re: List the Top 3 Problems with your Vette... (bgrice)
Here's my list for JB after I go over to his house and make his vette feel more at home:
1) Front clip missing(last heard of it was on I-10 in the fast lane between San Antonio & Houston... supposedly drug quite a ways by a Ford truck out of Pearland. Just a rumor)
My vote for who's got it worst so far in this thread has got to be BrettK. No inside, no outside, no go. I feel for you, man!
