Default I'M Back.....Thanks everyone..

As some of you know I underwent major sugery a couple of weeks ago..I had a huge aortic aneurysm.The fix was a complete new aorta. I am home now regainging my strength. It will be about two months beforer I can return to work. My wife contacted Mark (shoptek) who posted a thread. I got a lot of response from the forum guys...Thanks.. today is the first day that I have felt like sitting here at the computer to answer.
I can't wait to get backto being able to drive my 69..This weekend my wife will drive me around for a while. Anyway thanks for all of the get well responses.

Even though you are no longer numbers matching, the modification will hopefully give you better performance.

Get well soon.

I think it is more of new fuel line so the engine is still matching numbers. :jester

Glad to hear you are doing better, wishing you a speedy recover, well at least speedy enough to drive the vette for while before returning to work. :steering:

You've joined a new club without even trying! Personally, I added some steel braided fuel line and use addatives to prevent clogging :D Mine died while running, but we were able to re-start it! Like they say in the ads, "high miles,like new"!

Heres to a speedy recovery...
