Default List your 3 Most Recent Fixes/Mods to your Vette

You guys really bummed me out with my last thread listing your biggest problems. So how about listing your most recent mods/fixes. So here goes, list em if ya got em...

1) Fixed weird lock-up problem with torque convertor. Switch adjustment at the brake. Phew!

2) Installed a slick Trans Temp Gauge. Looks good and gives me some confidence in the unti now.

3) 406 is 90% done! Heads ordered and lower end is being assembled. All forged with 6in rods and hyd roller cam.
