Busy Working!

Tommy said, "If you spent half as much time working on the car as you do updating the South Hill Customs Blog, you would be driving that Vette already!" Good advice, pal! I have already taken two trips around the block with the kids because the motor is running, the hood is on, the door glass is installed and all of the electrical bugs have been worked out!

I have a video clip!

We had plenty of problems: leaky fuel line from Barry Grant (Thanks to Mr. Chris for going all the way back to the shop after he got home from a hard day at work and picking up the fuel line and new battery). We had a huge air lock in the cooling system which took a while to get out, I had the distributor in 180 degrees out of phase, the vacuum line for the distributor needed some persuasion to stay on the new carb, and I had to take the intake off and install better gaskets on the front and rear of the intake because we had a major leak!

Only two boxes of parts left to install, and the windshield....but I will need to recruit some help for that.
