That came out really nice! My maytag white idea seems dull now, might have to improvise my plans with my 90.

wow 250,000 and the original owner. I can only imagine the memory's you must have with that car.

Thats really cool mike. I can only hope I get the chance to say that one day. The lowest mileage car ive ever owned was 83,000



GM or the NCM should offer something to people that own corvette's for that long/mileage. Like a brick at the NCM or something like that.

My wife Anita and I are the brady bunch. She has 5, I have 2. I adopted her children. 6 of them are adults now. We only have one left at home now. We are very blessed.

All looking good.

Wow a 700R4 with 250,000 is that a record or normal?

Pete K, input please.

Well I was a little off on the mileage. Here is the first odo that went to 171K. I bought a new cluster in 2000 with 10K on it.

Everyone should know you painted that ghost flame job!
I remember the thread, but I never was around to see the finished product. That is sweet, great job!
