Thats a great out-of-the-windshield pic --- do you have a website or additional pics up on the web? I'd like to see more of your car.
thanks
Ronnie

Nice shot. Looks like it may have been a overcast but any day out in the vette is a good day. Thanks for sharing the pic. Let's hope winter is short and sweet.

Great pic and unfortunately, mine will be going away soon too since in Ohio (37 degrees last night!). Just got it together and will miss it for sure!
One question... I have the L-88 hood on my '77 and wondered if you could add a shot of how you mounted your gauges and what kind of bracket you used? Been looking for a solution on mine and your setup would do the trick!

BBwowbanger, why not just upload your pics to the corvette forum picture gallery. Then they would be available to all of us anytime. No need for a webpage just add text to the pics once you get them uploaded.

I just tried registering and it would not let me use my user name or email address. It says that both are already being used. Time to contact an admin?
Don't click on register, just click on Login and go from there. That should work for you.

I am just about finished as well. It was just over 40F this morning when I headed out for a couple of hours. Pretty brisk so I put the heater on to make things a little more comfortable. That fogged the windshield so I pulled out on the defrost **** to re-direct heat. The cable pulled out of the dash. It broke on the dash threaded end with the lock-nut. Love these cars....I ordered a cable this afternoon. Should be able to get it on before hibernation in two weeks.

Very nice car! I am thinking the same thing, time to put the vette to sleep for the winter. It was only 43F this morning when I got up. Will not be long before there is snow on the roads here. I hate winter!

With the warm weather last winter I drove mine with the top down on New Years Day, although I just park it in the garage and start it up once per month during the winter seige.
