Default Thank you and Hello

I would like to thank everyone who provided help to phoenixrizng on the new to me vette issues. I am the crazy one that purchased a 1999 vette hardtop in Waco TX and had the block free up because it was full of water and not a drop of antifreeze. after a full mechanical restoration and a bucket full of greenbacks he is back on the road. It had been mechanically abused for sure. He is enjoying his new home now though, as am I am getting to drive an almost new 1999 Hardtop
Its fun to be be the Crazyoldman!!!
