The vette is coming along slowly (unfortunately) and the truck is stored. I have what I hope is my last big trial in late April - after that I should have a lot more time. My son moved to DC after college and the GTO stayed with me. My wife and I have really enjoyed driving it - I've put over 10,000 miles since last June. I'll stick a couple of pictures of our trip to Yellowstone and parts beyond last September to remind everyone how much fun these cars (and trucks) are to drive. At some point this truck will back on the front burner - but the vette is first.

man, I love that car. perfect color too.
how is the vette project coming along, any progress?
just wondering on your truck, will you be using the t.b. heater system? enough room under the dash for it?

I just went and checked out your corvette build, looking great! Don't forget you have a truck that is feeling neglected

Thanks for checking in. My truck is resting in my Brother-in-Law's barn, and I haven't had time to work on the corvette since just before last Christmas. Work continues to be a major time draw- but I am being paid. I have addressed a few thing on the GTO this year (Corvette front spindles and brakes, Aluminum driveshaft and some interior upgrades), but other than that my projects are on hold until the new year - when I'm retired!!!

I begin a two week road trip in the GTO tomorrow morning (approximately 5500 miles). My wife and I are headed to the South Dakota Badlands, Mt. Rushmore, Yellowstone, and Glacier.

I am so looking forward to retirement and hopefully jump starting one of these projects in the new year.

Do you have any details on the spindle/brake swap on the GTO? I really like your approach to your projects, and it gives me good ideas for mine. Thanks!

Congratulations on your retirement! Staying tuned in for updates.

Congrats on retirement.
I said I'd quit my job if I ever won the lottery. Won $35 on a scratch ticket but the wife stopped me as I was writing my resignation letter.

I found your build thread by accident looking up other stuff. I was looking to transfer a trailblazer firewall onto a jeep so i could use the trailblazer goodies on the jeep. Your thread put it into my head that I could use the firewall and floor pan for my swap. So, thanks to you, i bought a 1968 jeep Wagoneer and a 2006 Chevy trailblazer ss. My plan is to swap the jeep body onto the trailblazer ss chassis using the trailblazer firewall and floor pans. This build thread has been amazing and inspiring. I'm sorry i didn't subscribe sooner.
