Update:
List of issues so far...
- wrong spark plugs were being used and may have damaged one of the spark plug holes in the head...shop is working on it now
- valve covers were on wrong sides
- wrong size heater blower/cage were installed
- transmission mount was broker
- exhause was welded to frame (ugh)
- one wheel was bent (will be replacing all wheels)
- engine vacume system was not working properly (already fixed)
- AC compressor braket was broken AND installed improperly (fixed)
- horn didn't work (now fixed)
- shifter cable was frayed and broke (now fixed)
- brake vacume system was not working properly (now fixed)
- storage tray lides were not installed (now fixed)
- no seatbelts in car (now installed)
- improper alternator braket was installed and rubbing hole in upper radiator hose (now fixed)
- and maybe more to come
Good news is...the body is in fantastic shape and the interior is extremely clean, all the fiber optics work along with the vacume system for the headlights and wipers. Once I have this PROFESSIONAL shop (looks like almost all prior work was done by high school kids under a shade tree) complete the work...this will be one COMPLETE and awesome to drive vette!!! Stay tuned!

brining back this thread from the dead...
Car is awesome...I had everything fixed, even upgraded the stereo system while I was at it. I drive this car 8-10 miles a day and it is realiable, comfortable, smooth, etc. Took me a while to get there (had other cars I have been working on), but it is finally there and an amazing daily driver. Occasionally I drive it to Houston or Dallas and have ZERO issues with it. Man I love this car!!!!
