LOL Wha???? ;-) hehehehe
Time: It only took me 2 weeks to get that stuff done... HAHAHAHA!!!
I just worked a couple hours in the evenings and on Saturdays..
Sundays are for Formula 1 and NASCAR damnit :-)
Money: It`s been paid for since 1999. YAY! HAHAHAHA
And it`s truly been a great car, I haven`t really spent any money
on it till recently. Starting earlier this spring with the U joints,
wheelbearings, tires, new balljoints/tie rods and 4 wheel alignment/speed
balancing, and now this final stuff. :-)
But my master plan of keeping it till 2008 and getting a
Demo/NewlyUsed C6, I wanted to bring it back into
great shape. It truly took at least 5 years off of it.
It`s nice and tight, not rattles what so ever and very, very
responsive and has never accelerated better.
Oh yea, I forgot the Royal Purple Synthetic Tranny Fluid.
I also recommend this. The tranny was never what could be called
noisy, but it`s dead quiet now. And it seems slicker, but that could be
because the shifter was done at the same time.

Ric,
Dang Ric, what ratty looking pictures ! <g> (you need to mow the grass
someday)
Sure those aren`t old photos from the day it was built ? But I guess not,
the wheels give it away.
You do nice work ! For sure one of the sharpest looking vettes I have ever
seen !
Can I email my 98 C5 to you and have you do the same wonders to it ?

That`s the first thing I get from people (the grass) :-)
I live 7 miles off the coast of Florida on an island.
Those are Sea Oats. Most people out here don`t "put in yards"
we prefer the natural look. (read lazy and it`s too hot).
I do agree with the weeds in the cracks in the driveway though...
But, I`ve been busy on my car, yea... that`s the ticket :-)
Just look at those ratty old sunvisors... LOL
That`s something else I`ve got to get done. I have
to fold up the driver side "flap", it`s completely limp..
And the escutcheons on the back of the seats (seat release)
are cracked and gone.
