Ya, it's better to leave it dusty. It covers up the 30 years of neglect.

I just ripped up the shop again.
I now have dueling drillpresses.

But I can no longer use my bar downstairs, it's covered with Corvette parts.

This car was not well kept. The engine had a bad oil leak. They had tried to powerwash the bay to hide this. By looking under a few shrouds you could see the truth. The ignition was a mess. The key was filed on, and wouldn't even open the truck. A/C didn't work. The interior was missing several knobs and buttons, with rips in the seats. One of the headlights had also been replaced, but I didn't see any creases in the crumple areas.

This is a GREAT idea Rick!
We need to do more events like this.
I regret that I'm on-duty at the F.D. on the 5th, but please keep me posted on the next one!

Woodridge is only about an hour or so from where I'm at, but I have so much on my plate right now that I just know I'm not going to be able to make a mid-week gathering.

That's too bad because I'd really like to meet you guys and talk shop! I'm sure we'll get a chance to hook up one of these days.

We understand it's hard to make a longer trip on a weeknight. We'd like to do more weekend events, probably in the spring we'll start planning them earlier!

awe... wish I could make it.

I've gotta check with the wife later and see what my schedule is. Anyone else good with that date/time?

I just registered... only me for now, and none of the breakouts. I need to learn this thing and figure out how to get the most from it. So the first year will be a learning experience.

That is if I get to go... I must still be "approved" by the group. And I have a feeling that just being a member of SEMA isn't enough when you are as small a fry as we are here.

No promises at this time...

Since none of us seem to be able to make this maybe we can do a test - n - tune night before the end of season.

Glad you got it done (at least half )

The a/c delcos I installed had those goofy flush zerk fittings, too. I also unscrewed them to pack them, but used a needle attachment for the grease gun I picked up at the parts store.

I don't know what to do with myself. I came home and I'm alone...wife is at work, kids are with grandma. Holy cow I'm free!!! I wanted to run but I'm sore...I need a recovery day. Then I was gonna go see a movie but nothing I want to see. I thought about driving to the store but don't want to fight traffic. I was gonna cut the grass but it doesn't need it. I was gonna clean up the house but I did that last night and it's acceptable I was even gonna work on the vette with some small projects, but I don't wanna get dirty.

I am kinda hungry, maybe I'll find something to eat and then lounge on the couch and watch a dvd.

Amazing I actually have free time and don't know what to do with it!

Great pics, Joe. I've talked to the lady with the '60 before, at last year's show. I gave her a CG pen and told her to come on over to the site, guess she never made it. I've seen that black c4 with the red stripes before, too. I don't remember if I've met the owner.

Good job on the trophy!

I recommend the left lane at GLD for a better launch.

You interested if we can make a night out of it? I'll see if Rick wants to go, too.
