My rebuilt Vette took her first steps today.

Well, the engine, drivetrain and front suspension are rebuilt.

It was a very short trip into the garage, but under its own power for the first time in 2 months. I still suspect a problem with reverse so I didn't want to push things. Tranny was stuck in reverse preventing me from rotating the yoke and attaching the driveshaft. ad

It's still hard to me to believe that I built an engine from scratch then dissasembled an entire drivetrain and put it all back together. Now that's a first for me.

Next I have to bleed all the calipers and maybe try out that reverse gear and see if I get stuck. :ack:

Well done, Len. Imagine what you could do if you weren't on sick leave?

I think it's more like, "Imagine how much longer it would have taken if I weren't on sick leave."

With all the problems I've had since the engine was in, I'm guessing it would have taken me at least another year to get to this point. Working as I have, on & off on some weekends as time allows.

Bad news though, I'm cleared to go back to work October 25,2004. ad
