Alright. Bout time you got that dude out again. :yesnod: :lol: Now that you have got it out and ran it, it should be time to change all the fluids and get it really ready for some spring runs.

Got any pics?

Hey, your 10 year wake up call for your '71 sounds real encouraging, cause mine's been in storage & never been started since '95. I guess it's because it's been in various stages of build for all of that time. I always said that it was a hobby-thing, but, cheez, I never thought that it would take this long!
Has your motor ever been rebiult? Is it the original motor that came with the car? How many miles on it? Did you ever start the motor during the time it was stored? Thanx. Your 'vette sounds real nice GO GET 'EM!
