Sorry to hear about the piggy bank Dave. Can totally relate though!!Did that email ever show up . I sent it 4 times 2 different ways and it shows sent on all of them, and have had no indication of it not going through.

 

Them bare trees and leaves in the dirt look mighty good right about now, cause it a little toasty outside[sm=signs007.gif].

 

That pic was taken in Winnemucca, Nevada last fall, when I picked up my 454.

 

Hey Dave, anything in the mail box yet?

 

Nuthin' yet, the pony express uses donkeys nowadays. Prob will get it today or Monday. I'll let ya know when it arrives.

To all those who have been following this post, I'm in the process of modifyin' the mounting brakets for the alt and power steering pump. Bend here, cut there, weld, andgrind. To some it would be a big pain in the ****, but I enjoy this stuff.
Still savin' up for a new alum rad. They are a little pricey, but I feel it will be well worth it. There are so many options available for makin' mods, it's really hard to decide which to choose.
After the brackets are modded, I'll be tacklin' the exhaust system. I looked around and can't find the pipe designs I'll need, so some engineerin' on my part will have to do the trick.
As I mentioned before, I've thrown out deadlines. I've settled down to takin' my time and tryin' to just do a good job.
If I had tried to rush the job, I'd just have to back track later and do stuff over. [&o]

 

Good call Dave enjoy the car !!!

 

.......enjoy the car !!!

Was there ever any doubt?
Heck, I enjoy just standin' back and lookin' at 'er. [sm=icon_rock.gif]

 

Hey I can relate. Mine is just outside the kitchen window.It took the wife a while to catch on why I keep looking out the kitchen window.Still do and have a smile on this old mugg as well. Hey the mail is probly slow at this side of the border. Apparrently the guy who walks the mail to the border has been doing it all his life and is about to retire.They say he gets the job done but walks alot slower these days. So he might not of made it to the border yet to hand it off to the mule express.Ha! Talk at ya later Dave.

 

I expect a pigion drop any day.
Mine is sittin' where I can see 'er from the kitchen window too.
Yup, I'll stand for several minutes, just lookin' at 'er and planning my next moves.

 

I got the article.
Now at the end of the article, it states...

"This is definitely a time to enlist the help of an experienced Corvette specialist. Don't try this job without help."

Dang, I guess I gotta pull it all out and go hire somebody. [&o]

The article has a great parts list, and I'll be goin' over and comparin' parts numbers.

Thanks busnut, this article/parts list,will be a big help.
