New TKX installed, new trailing arms, tires etc. (I'll spare you the long laundry list of work done) The all new interior is still in boxes in my house just waiting to be installed.

Nice - what is the "mix?"
In the booth (where he is caressing his work) looks a bit like charcoal.
In the sunlight do I detect a metallic finish?
Curious minds want to know.
BTW - Nice to have another Black 'Vette on the forum!

Cheers - Jim
 
Took the car to a show on Sunday and blew the engine on the way home. After I got over being depressed about it I went shopping online (isn't that what we all do nowadays?) and settled on a new Blueprint 383.

People say good things about them on other forums. I read somewhere that they try to keep as much as possible "made in America."

Hope it works out good for you.

"there I was, just driving along, and this happened" .... uh.... we need stories :)

Admittedly I did hear some noise - I thought it was the old headers finally starting to leak. Turns out it was piston slap that went away after oil pressure built up. I took it on the highway after the car show and was driving rather conservatively when the piston separated from the connecting rod. I called for a flat bed and had it towed home.
