have a few more parts to get before I will have my car.Going to keep me fingers crossed that the motor will fire Tuesday afternoon. Hard to believe how many parts were missing off my motor.I'll have to go back through me receipts and get the total I've spent on parts.I'm pretty sure it's going to be close to $5000. I've spent so much time at the Chevy Dealer Parts Dept, I have my own reserved stool to sit on.

I know Bob. Been a long expensive journey that's for sure.Will be at the Chevy dealers parts dept first thing in the morning.

waiting for the dealer to call and tell me that last of my parts are in.Once I get these parts and get them on it will be time to fire it up.Keeping my fingers crossed that all will go well.

My car is finally running under it's own power after 10 months. Will have it back Monday .

WOW, one done, one to go. Great news Mike. Let us know how it feels when you pick it up. What were the builders thoughts?

vetteguy61 · 01-08-2011, 03:43 PM

They were impressed. Going to be tough taking it easy for awhile.

How about some info Mike? I know it's a C5, white with a blue stripe. What year is it and how many miles you got on it? Is it a daily driver? Is the excitement returning now that it's running and almost ready to be picked up?

vetteguy61 · 01-08-2011, 06:12 PM

It's an 01 Bob. It has 128,680 miles on it.I bought it new so I have driven it ever since I bought. Yes the excitement has returned now that it's done. I need to take it in to be detailed after sitting for 10 months, it's pretty dirty inside and out.
Due to my youngest daughter coming home with our 3 month daughter this coming weekend I won't be going to Clearwater.
I will be in Tampa on the 17th of feb for the tampa Bay - Detroit Red wing hockey game. On Fri the 18th will be going to St. Augustine for 3 days. Sun the 20th will be going to see the Daytona 500 race.By then the vette should have all the bugs worked out and I'll drive it for that trip.
I'm just glad it's finally over after 10 months.

That makes you an 'expert' Mike. Any advice you can give me? I have an '03 that I bought new and I have about 45,000 on it. I use Mobil 1 that's recommended by GM.

Sorry to see you won't make it next Sat.
