Exactly right. That $25k is a place to start only. I'll entertain just about any reasonable offer at this point.

FS: 1979 White / Red Interior resto-mod

I purchased this vehicle in August of 2001 and started a full frame-off resto-mod. The list of goodies I upgraded or replaced is pretty extensive and is pretty much complete on my web page.

On my '79 I had this problem. It turned out (I think) to be the seat belt / key warning buzzer.

The way I went about finding it was to install an ammeter in-line with the negative battery cable. I...

We do turbine engine repair and overhaul in Greer. It's only about 2-1/2 to 3 hours to Atlanta from here. Driving year-round is certainly not a problem. The summers aren't too bad (not like Florida)...

Is this run open for all? I've been up and down those roads on my bike a hundred times, but haven't had a chance to take the 'vette. I would agree with 215 up to the Parkway, nice and twisty. The...

Re: (OT)What's the downside to using Rain-X on your windshield?

I plan on using it on the 'vette once I start driving it regularly. It should work great. I tried it on my Jeep Wrangler and it didn't work so well.

Re: Starting new engine with body off (73Gator)

Exhaust and a rudimentary electrical system (ignition off/on, starter). I ran mine this way to break in the cam. Worked great, but the neighbors weren't too keen on the noise. :)

Re: Anyone use "Speed Bleeder" screws yet? (73jst4fun)

I have them in all 6 places on the 'vette and three on my bike. It really makes fluid changes go smoothly, just hook a hose and bottle up and start pumping, or squeezing, whichever the case may be.

Re: edelbrock carb metering rods and springs question (78pace)
