Default First time in over 20 years......

I am Vette-less......a heavy heart, but moving on.....sold to a very nice gentleman who has had many Corvettes, and I am sure appreciates and will enjoy this one......time to save up for that Vi.....ahh, er, next one.
In the mean time, been working on a project, and its getting closer to hitting the road....cam, dart heads, air-gap, sidepipes, flat-tops, ARP, 700R4 w/Vette servos, FAT tires, and chrome, chrome, chrome....Summit, Speedway, Jegs, & Eastwood have supported my UPS guy for the past 3 weeks....a lot of changes in the past 15 months, and this project will help keep some sanity.....(NOT!) Its nice to use a hand tool instead of a laptop-

It's sad that you are without a vette but the "New project" sounds exciting. I hope the project will join in with the vettes.

PS: Please don't get too crazy with the chrome!

Sounds like the Posse will have a different type cruising with us now and then.

Also sounds like a cool ride for Marks!

Looking forward to seeing you and the misses this year.

Possibly watching some red sucks games will help your sanity issues. I'm sure today really helped.

Pinatas help my sanity.....hope to see you at some of our gatherings.

Sorry to hear your show winner black beauty is gone...or shall I say has a new home. Just won't be the same at shows without the glare off the chrome.

Good luck with what comes next. Keep in touch
