Default Greetings and Salutations

Hello all,
My name is Jeff and I have a 1993 Ruby Red 40th Anniversary Corvette. Technically it is dad's car as he bought it new in 1993. But he just doesn't drive it or do any maintenance so I inherit all of that. I just converted from JL9 to J55 brakes. I am in the process of removing the dash to remove the dead mouse option. Switched over to DOT 4 fluid with a flush. Replaced 2 wheel bearings and all the shocks and it rides ok for once! I started driving this car @ 16. Dad let me drive the Vette when I got my temps and I have loved it ever since! I also have 1991 Nissan 240sx and 1995 Saturn SC2. Other fun things are a Mitsubishi EVO 8 although that needs an engine at the moment. I was able to run low 12's in the EVO at the 1/4 track. Glad to see a close knit Vette community out here and I hope I can add as much as you all have!

Congratulations on the Vette and welcome to the forum. Very cool to get the Vette from your father. Enjoy Vette ownership.
