Well we pulled the tank on the LT-1 and even before it came out we could tell it was way too clean.
It wasnt the original tank. Dang it.
But hey I doubt the sticker would have been any good after all this time anyway.
There was a little gas leak from the cork gasket near the filler so I will get that fixed.
Gas leaks arent something I wanted to overlook.
One would feel pretty stupid if the car burned up and one knew there was any kind of gas leak wouldnt one?
I cant wait to get the car back togather!

Sorry you didn't find the birth certificate, but glad you got the leak fixed.
I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

Oh well...at least you had the opportunity to look for it, and repair a leak at the same time.

Well she ain't no Virgin but now your mind is at ease that she is sound. For me that outways the other.
I have seen a chrome bumper burn to the ground a few years ago after the MAM show. It was a sad day.... expecially for that new owner.

sorry to hear about the tank sticker, but then again it might show up under the carpet, behind the dash you just never.

Thanks everyone. I guess you always hope you will be one of them folks who find a perfect tank sticker. But once I started smelling gas at the back of the car I knew that was a bigger fish to fry and if there was a sticker, so be it.
We have the original radio sent out to get that fixed so I can play some music over the cambered exhaust.
We wont get the radio back for another week or so.
We are doing alot of little stuff I wanted fixed but I am looking forward to driving that bad boy again!
