Default Hello from Maine

Well it finally happened, got on the plane and flew to Tampa Fl. Got picked up by my brother and went to my Dad's house 90 miles south.
Man is it hot and sticky down there. Next morning at 6am checked the air in the tires and all the fluids, gassed it up and headed north. 1623
miles later I was home with my "new" 1984 Z51. The only problem was the 2x75 air conditioning, first on the fix list. Been lurking here for a while and hopefully now I can participate a little

Thanks for the warm welcome. Pics will have to wait for a little while
because I just pulled the throttle bodies off for a rebush. Once they come back from the carb shop I will install and sync. then wash and wax (still pretty nasty looking from the road trip). Pics will be forthcoming.
