First Order of Business

Have driven the car around my back-roads circuit in Waco, TX. For those that are curious...it is Hewitt Dr. -> Spring Valley -> Old Lorena Rd. -> Hwy 84 -> Hwy 6 -> 35 South -> Hewitt Dr. Plenty of opportunity to get up to the speed limit in a timely fashion.

Spent my first night in the garage tinkering on it. Removed the playboy bunny emblem. Removed the "CORVETTE" decal and used Goo-Gone and then a quick polish to remove the residue on the windshield. Probably could have just polished first -- it worked great. Next, I installed my Infinity Basslink sub-woofer using the installed wiring the previous owner left. It does fit in the compartment behind the driver wheel so does not take up hardly anything in the trunk.

Also just received a new gas cap. The original one no longer tightens correctly and leaks fumes out -- apparently you can lose a gallon of gas in a few weeks through the cap.

Car looks much better now! New pics soon.
