Vette was home for a little while..................................

  Well, yesterday I went and picked up the Vette! The car runs amazingly well! A little lope at idle, then it really cuts loose when you hit it! On the way home I noticed it had no heat but didn't give it a second thought because I figured Lew had the heater shutoff valve off. Once we were home (about 45 miles), I popped the hood and sure enough, the valve was off. Opened the valve and still NO HEAT! So I called Lew (on Saturday night, no less! I have his cell phone #,what a guy!) and he said to check the antifreeze to see if there may have been an air pocket. Checked it, was a little low, topped it off, but still no heat. While I was checking that I noticed that the bottom of the fuel pump looked moist. When I had talked to Lew, he told me he would be in the shop today and if the antifreeze didn't work, to bring it in. So off we went this morning back to the shop but I did get a weekend pass! By the way, the paint looks AWESOME. When he was repairing my boo-boo he noticed that the rest of the car didn't meet with his standards so he sanded it down, repainted it and used a new type of clear. The car feels much more solid with the new body mounts. So close, but so far away! It WILL be done by the gathering, however, so WATCH OUT!!

I can't wait to see it ... SO we will have to trade some seat time with each other perhaps ?!?!

Let me get this straight...  There was no heat inside the Vette and you had a problem with that because...?

He repainted it too???? geez i wish my guy was like that.....

I think we can work something out.....

Dan, Lew is the BEST! He always takes care of his customers. I am so glad I found him! I wouldn't hesitate to reccomend him to anyone!

Lew definitely sounds like a good guy! The heat thing has me perplexed!!

Paul, the diverter doors all work fine as does the fan! A/C works like a dream. The air comes out the holes it's supposed to, just no heat! Lew didn't seem the least bit concerned about it so I'm leaving it to him. Remember, this engine was in a Chevelle used for racing So the hoses could just be in the wrong places. The engine doesn't heat up at all, running between 160 and 180, even at idle with the hood up. The old engine always ran at least 200, so like I sad I'm sure it's a minor issue. Don't want the missus to have cold tootsies! 

I was ay Lews today,and saw your car sitting there.It looking . good. RICK

Yeah, Rick, the paint looks better than ever, it just needs a few things sorted out. Did you get your new tires on yet?
