First long trip in '61 vette to Anti-Venom

[fdreano]

Glad its so popular; I've had it about 6 weeks and already fixed a bunch of small items but all the major things look really solid. Got it from a guy in South Carolina that does wind tunnel work for NASCAR. www.windtunnelextreme.com - guy needed some cash for a huge new project so I got a kicking deal!

I checked around at local vette places near Orlando but none of them had the rep that Anti-Venom has - and well deserved.

it was running allot smoother about 20mins after you left, (he started on it immediently) he is under the hood right now,

Everyone is in love with it, My PawPaw came in for his friday visit with Greg (not me) and he sure liked it.

You're definately in good hands. Especially for a 1st gen

Its Honduras Maroon - I wanted Roman Red at first; but this color has grown on me and when I repaint it someday I'll stick with the Maroon. But there is no question that you have a fine looking machine!

Wow what beauty. I wish I had your car in my garage as an addition to my C6. Shoot, I wouldn't mind having each generation in my garage. You do have a beauty.

I am beyond tickled with it - just need to get it tuned up and running as good as it looks. Its the car the 'rich kids' had when I was in high school driving a ratty Corvair.

Wow - just picked up the vette and drove it 80 miles home to Orlando and it runs like a dream. Idles at a purr and tachs up to a nice steady growl. Gregg found a bunch of minor problems I wasn't even aware of and fixed them as well as doing the overall tune-up.

Did 70mph most the trip with occasional full-throttle romps (couldn't help it) and that old 283 just wants to keep winding up. Luvin it !
