Vette Progress

Here are a few pics of the progress I have made.

Hope to be ready to drop engine and the 2004r in the next few weeks.

The new paint and rechrome really looks great.

Finally had a little time to spend on the vette. Finally have it running. Was having some probs with the overdrive. Thought the pan was leaking and after removing and replacing the seal twice finally found that it was the dip stick that was leaking. Anyway had it around town a few times and the 2004r with the manual valve body takes a little getting used too but is fun having the tires chirp everytime you shift the automatic.

Sure looks different then the past couple years.

Looks awesome Glenn!!

Did you decide to leave the side and nose emblems off, or do you still have to put them on? Can't wait to see it in person!

Still need to install them Bruce. Lots still left to do. Small stuff but it all takes time and at times time is limited. It runs so much better non-blower I find and still seems to have lots of go.
