Default Hello!

It's been a while, but I'm almost ready to step out and bring the C5 back on the highway. There have been a number of issues these past months, a few medical (nothing serious) and a couple issues with the blown headgasket and other things. The car is now running fine and only a few minor things keep it in the garage until I fix those. I had a fuel line issue and a tire sensor issue. A mouse chewed up all 4 fuel lines and I had to kill them and repair the lines.

Now it appears I have to chase down a squealing pulley after the car reaches operating temps.

I am stoked to get this beauty back on the road.

Welcome back Rick, I cannot tell you how many times I have posted pics of your hot Vette....your Vette inspired me to finally get my hood and a few more things in the works...






My MCM S/C high rise hood





Nothing fancy...just carbon fiber
