Birthday Present

Dropped off the Vette last week at the dealership to have the new gears installed and new brake pads. Was going to give myself this for my birthday, however, upon going to pick it up, it was already paid for by my wife for a present. What a surprise, and what a sweetie. Going to run the Predator this weekend for the gear change. What a great 52 birthday today.

What the heck? Were we all born in 1955? I've seen more post say that they are 52.
1955 must have been a very good year. And btw...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Happy Birthday, Robert.

I got the parts in to make my engine pretty, but I have yet to media blast/paint the reservoirs and chrome the machined caps. I am really excited to get it put together. I will post some pics when I'm done.

Again, happy birthday.

Speed

Did you have a Chevy dealer put in your new gears? Anybody know if the new parts would be covered under GMPP or are they considered after market?
