LOL Albert... Its nice to be appreciated.
A lot of the late 60's and early 70's seem to be a tad bit Blurry..
Not sure if it was Car speed and octane fumes or What.. But I get those flashbacks to remember the important things. The rest is feel .

Having this Helped ....

Well the car is home again; Albert and Joe just dropped it off and I cannot thank them enough for everything that they did. The car has never run better.
This is an early Christmas present to myself; I can't wait to take her out for a nice long drive.

Albert / Joe, thank you once again for offering your services. In the eight years I have owned the car it has never run like an L46 should. I spent good money taking it to Corvette "specialists" and each one did nothing but take my money. You two are true car enthusiasts and treated my car as if it was your own; I can't thank you enough.

Looks like Joe &amp; Albert are actually good experienced ,,Mechanic's,, who know how to repair our older muscle cars correctly.
Good job guys.

Based on this thread and what I see - I would have to say that the so called &quot;Corvette experts&quot; might only be that in name. None of the problems that your car had require even the specialty of a Corvette specialist to resolve. It really bothers me when people proclaim themselves to be experts, charge accordingly and have no clue what they are doing. Whomever touched your car last needs to reconsider their career. You are lucky you finally got it into the right hands and got it all resolved correctly before throwing more good money at bad mechanics.

Regardless - time to enjoy. Great looking car and love to see them so original.

-Todd

Todd, Mike..you guys hit it on the head..the previous &quot;specialists&quot; did not even have basic mechanical skills...or gave a damm about what they were doing. I am by no means a mechanic..I am a avid hobbiest....Joe, on the other hand is a retired experienced ASCE certified master tech with 10-40 in his viens! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]. He likes a good challenge!
What really pisses me off is, Daves car is a really nice original car!!..even with its low mileage, so many cheap short cuts were found! Does'nt anyone do thier job correctly anymore??
Dave..glad to help out, was a fun side project for us. Let me know how that long drive goes [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]
