Vette update

[dgas]

Much done Much to do-
FINALLY got the mess and REEK out of her. At least two weeks cleaning it all out and stripping the interior out of the silver car then the same out of the Red car. The reds interior is Med. Saddle and it is going into the silver car. (always hated silver interiors and the silver cars interior has WAY to MUCH stink inbended into the leather and material), After weeks of soaking in Hilex bleach and then agaijn w Pinesol. The interior smells "piney" fresh. I have a good handle now on what I need to get the car in decent shape and what is needed to get it driving,Much of which is already purchased. The windshield , front spoiler and 80 rear bumper cover w the '80 spoiler, have all been ordered. I still need all the door + TT seals. The brakes are up and working tho the rorors still need turning. New rubber on all four corners= 275 60 15's + 255 60 15's w the Rallys are redone and the rubber is mounted. The T400 Tranny has a new kit w a shift kit installed and a New B&M converter installed as well as a new trans cooler All in w steel braided lines. A DERALE electronic thermostatic control w an elec 16" cooling fan is ready to go in. New Headman Headers are in and fit pefectly w NO smashed tubes and tuck right up inside the frame rails. Its been a LONG time since I got a set of headers that I did not have to at least ding to get them in. Yesterday the neighborhood busy body (former city councilman) stopped over acting all freindly and asking questions about the Vette's. No more time to delay now, I'll be getting a letter any day about a nonOp in my driveway. Its what this D-ck does, several times a day he cruises the neighborhood on his little scooter looking for things to complian about. Smiles in your face asking questions acting interested then stabs you in the back. He forgets he and I have been down this road B4 so in the garage it goes and I have to kick it in gear to get it up running and legal fast.....
Anyway thats where its at as of an hour ago. ;D

Thanks for sharing. You're getting stuff done man. I hope busybody has a flat.
I sure like that front view with no hood.

Did you get to drive it yet?

He's been busy ,got the letter but I put the builder inside the garage and a cover on the parts car. Letter expired and the cop said I was cool now. (I know him. He's sort of a car guy, but more just an interest. Not really an owner or builder). BUT this pretty much explains where it and I are at-Not an ad I know where to post one. Just a heads up

The links in your ad go back to your acccount page. I think you have to follow the links out of the account area to where the really show up on the internet and CL. Then Copy and Paste the URL from the top of your browser.
Hope this helps,
Good Luck,

Bummer 'D. I know you have had to start over a number of times the past few years. Hope you get what you want and find a driver you can enjoy.

Good luck with your sale.

The links in the main CL ad still point to your account. When you click on the links, instead of taking you to your other ads, it asks you to log in.

Just search for your ad in CL and not be logged into your account to get the address, replace the links, and you should be OK.
Good Luck,
CRAB

Man, I sure would love to kick the shit out of your busy body neighbor. That car was looking good. You can't have non operating vehicles even in your garage?
I love the CHEVY motor part of your add.
