It's a possibility, I may tackle my power steering this weekend, but if I don't, I wouldn't mind hanging.

I'm gonna try and make it so I can get your tape back to you. I now have all the owner's videos on DVD for all 6 ZR-1 years 90-95. Do you need a fuel filter for your LT1? I got one by mistake trying to order one for my LT5. When are you around Friday?

You guys are just having way too much fun. :D

Me, I'm just trying to get the front clip of the 73 painted. Once the garage heats up (got the jet engine heater going) I'll do some sprayin.

Good luck and have fun... :cheers:
