Had a painted windshield wiper cowl installed, drove the car for a while, washed it and will do a little detailing tonight and tomorrow to get it clean again.

In last two days, spent 12 hours using a DA polisher taking scratches out of hood, bumper and top of front fenders.... What a beauty she is becoming

Passed the safety inspection and put license plates on it. FINALLY.

First Vette, finally able to drive it.

Right after I have a nap. I've been working on it non-stop the last month to pass the safety.

Replaced my oil pressure switch with a new brass one from O'Reillys (OEM finally crapped out at 52K), cleaned out the three rubber bladders on drivers side, cleaned engine bay with high pressure air, and cleaned & reoiled Vararam air filter.

Drove it to work and discovered the telescoping steering wheel wasn't working. Once at work, did a quick search on the Forum and found a thread that detailed the procedure for correcting it and viola!!! It works again. Gotta love the Corvette Forum. This place has saved me much $$$ and frustration over the years.

Last night, I drove it to a dinner event and then took the very long way home top down. It was a beautiful night and the weather was perfect. I didn't want to stop driving as the car has some definite mojo going on.
