Default Hello from Cincinnati

Hello to all! Just joining the group as I have finally gotten the Vette out of storage and is now sitting in the garage awaiting some TLC.

She is a 72 T-Top with the base 350 and 4 speed trans colored Ontario Orange. My fuel system is my first order of business so I am replacing the fuel lines, carb and fuel pump. I know she will run on Ether, but fuel just is not making it to the places in needs to be.

Brakes are next with a full replacement of lines, rotors, calipers and master cylinder.

Vacuum lines, rubber hoses and the like are awaiting their turn as well. Body is in really good shape, bumpers could use some love, but we will get there when we can.

Hope today finds you doing well, and thank you for being here! I know I will be asking questions.

Jamie

10 years of storage.

Washed off and in her temporary sleeping quarters.

And where to begin.

Add some altitude.
