Default Vacation Time with my Vette

Starting this coming Saturday I will be off from work for 9 days! I get 2 vacations a year and for this one I did not plan to go anywhere, but instead just enjoy time off from work, relax, and do a few mods to the car. Should be a very enjoyable vacay for me, I always enjoy working on my car and already have a few things planned.

My To Do list:
Install Callaway Honker CAI
Repaint Calipers Red
Detail the wheels
Install Tinted Light Covers and Emblem overlays
Detail the car with Zaino
And finally I may port and polish the TB, still undecided about this

BTW for anyone that is looking to get the Callaway Honker CAI, I bought mine from Southern Car Parts for 435 shipped to my door. That's the cheapest I found for it New.

Nothing like wrenching...

What about fluid swaps? Brake fluid, trans, diff, coolant?

I really just need to do the brake fluid. Trans was serviced before I bought the car, coolant, diff, and power steering was done by me about 5K miles ago. I'm sure I can find some other things to do to car as well just a matter of "if" I feel like doing it haha

Mine gets a vacation without me when I leave it covered and garaged in Florida and go to my summer home in New England for a few months during the summer hurricane season. I hope it's still unmolested when I get back there next month.

Have fun. Some say it's therapeutic.

Those things should keep you busy, at least for a portion of those 9 days. Good luck with all the work.
