Lady Alive - Update!

[c5vetter]

Folks,

Tony just called me and said they put about 25 miles on LADY today! He said, "boy this brakes got to warm up, before they work!" He said LADY has lots of gitty-up-and-go, and was chomping wanting to run! He said he didn't romp her too bad, but went through all the gears with no problems.

The weeping out of the upper radiator hose turned out to be in the thermostat housing itself! There was a casting imperfection - changed out and put a different clamp on and weeping stopped!

There were some glitches here and there with the lights, turned out to be a ground problem - all work as advertised. The only thing not working properly now are the washer nozzles. Wiper/washer motor rebuilt, so they are going to check connections, etc.

He said he has almost two CDs full of the entire process of Lady being tore down to where we are at today. Will post more pix at my website when I get the CDs. Seems like pix I took last couple of weekends - I hit the wrong button and erased the stick!

Guys,

Pick Lady up Friday morning and then will take her to Front Royal - need to register around 4:00 and then they do the operations/safety check - will be leaving Lady there at Jack Evan's Chevrolet over night and Flight Judging starts around 0830 on Saturday morning - think there is around 20 Vette registered to be Flight Judged

I'm leaving this afternoon for a short vacation with the wife so I won't be around for the show.

Good luck!!!
I'm sure LADY will prove what a classy gal she is and take the top flight as she deserves.
I can't wait to return and hear about the results.
