How sweet it is!
I just removed my Vette from storage after 5 months of storage.I disconnected the battery, which is a no no I am told.I also bought a set of stock wheels from a forum member.I was concerned that the sensors would not work with my car.
When I put it away I had active /abs crap going on.
EVERY thing worked FINE.
The wheel sensers are off 2 to 3 lbs, but they work?
The weather was great so I put the top down and enjoyed the Vert.
Jackie Gleason was right!!!! How sweet it is.

Ditto - have had the battery out since November and car was stored in a climate controlled unit. Installed the battery - cranked it over and it started on the first try.
Yesterday the weather was in the sixties put the top down and went for a nice ride. "How sweet it was"

I saw the hood off your "rocketship vette" in St Pete's. I love the picture of your grandkids. I am the fellow who bought the wheels and top from you and I have the wheels on already. They look so much better than the chrome that was there before and I am having the top installed next week.
