What would us dummies do without the internet and sites like this. It''s like moving into a fully equiped and heated garage from the cold, cinder filled driveway; Japanese wrenches; and, the old, motor pulling apple tree.
I was heavy into cars in my teens & early twenties, then - life happened.
I''m retired now & turning wrenches again. So, I guess you could say that I''m in my second childhood. But, apparently, I love being a kid.
Here''s the deal: 70 Corvette, T-top, 350/300, 4-speed, A/C, removable rear window. Motor, trans, rear & 90% of everything else original. Been sitting for 30 years, lots of work ahead of me.
I''m going to be needing this forum (and the winning powerball numbers).
I''m quickly finding out that trying to restore one vette equals ten divorces. H-u-m-m-m, Vette?-Women? Vette?-Women?
I hope the next owner appreciates the fact that he''s robbing me out of 8 more honeymoons. Meantime, I''m stuck with notjhing more than skinned nuckles and old memories of Dinah Shore blowing me kisses. You''d think that GM & the Vette supply houses would establish some type of love lost/restoration survivor''s pension plan.
Anyhow, nice to have you guys around. It''s like having Corvettes at Carlisle in your back yard.
