It's been about a year and a half since I've been to Caesars so I don't remember. I do know that the exotic car mueseum was free at that time and now it's $25.00. I've heard that they had an F-1 car with the simulator connected to the shifter, throttle steering wheel, etc. I'll be there for awhile, the whole city is a big kids play ground. That is if you don't get hooked on the gambling, booze, or strip clubs. Moderation, my friends everything in moderation and you should be ok. I'll try and post some pictures when I get back, If I figure out how to do it.

Both ! no actually i couldnt get my password to work.

How do I get to the Shelby mueseum?

I'd been to the Wynn but didn't have a chance to see the Ferrari's, $10.00 sound good to me. I don't think they have anything in the Wynn for less than $50.00
Thanks

Good to be home from work, Had to write a construction specification for a project that needs a hellofalot more than the spec calls for. I was directed to write it, sheesh, when all is done and said I'll have to rewrite and include all the details that I have been asking for years!!!! Government work, "Let's do it twice" and spend more taxpayer $$$$ Don't get me started . I'm still messin with my windows , still can't get them to work. Although it's been cold around these parts and work has been burning me out so I don't get out to the garage much. That's all for now see you later. :thumbright:

A name change already? Did you forget your password, or were you trying to avoid distasteful lubrication jokes? :tongue:

There's nothing wrong with your wrenches, they are for the left hand side of the car. You need to get a right hand set for the other side.

I was going to say that the wrenches you had were for the drivers side....but Case would have argued with me about that!

Only one more day of school this (calendar) year! Merry Christmas to all you out there.

i thought they were all on the inside edge of the seat ?

the 93 and the 73 will stay stock, the 76 will get a new lt1 this winter.

I've been on CF the last couple days, and I can second the fact that this group is the difference! A lot of whining going on over there. Some of it with good reason, I suppose.

I wonder if any forum that size will fall victim to some of the problems they face. There is something that can be done to prevent the commercialism, but with the sheer numbers of people posting, you're bound to have more bad eggs.

I'd love to see this forum grow, but I won't mind I'd it doesn't get quite that big!

We got the 83 Porsche back this evening. The drivetrain is as good as new. Now the break in begins. The problem with having multiple vehicles is you can never seem to drive each one enough. I'm off for the next 6 days so I'll give it a go. Another thing is that there is always plenty of detailing to do. I don't have to go to the gym. I have a workout waiting in my yard anytime I want. Add a house to the mix and there is never a dull day. I hope everybody who is sick gets to feeling better soon.

Just as soon as I get past tire pressure checking and dip stick reading I'll certainly consider what you have suggested. I'm still learning a lot about the tools. I think somebody sold me a set of left handed wrenches.

Welcome

I have three myself.

'71, '76 and '88.

Wednesday is gone here, its Thursday....

I laid 6 sheets of fibre cement, 2 of which were about 20mm thick, 2,400mm long, and either 1,200 or 1,400 wide. Heavy as buggery.

Took the V28 into work today to assist with the drilling and screwing process, The big beast started with a 3/4 battery, and went the whole job without needing a charge, and still going full steam (still had the 2nd battery sitting in the carry case full and ready to go, but didnt need it). The Metabo on the other hand went through the 2nd battery quicker than we could even charge the first (and yet the 2nd was sitting in the charge cradle so we knew it was full!!), and the LokTor 18v went through 2 full batteries and was onto its 3rd.

Suprisingly enough, my old Ryobi 18v cordless outlasted the Metabo by about 3 screws, and when youre screwing into fibre cement this thick, that is acctually quite a lot. These 2 drills were just not built for such heavy work.

The other 2 handled the task with ease, being used for drilling, countersinking and screwing, although the big V28 worked over 3 hrs on a 3/4 charged Li-Ion 28v battery, where as the LokTor 18v would only do about an hour's worth of work on a battery, which really is quite efficient for a NiCd system. (we didnt do all this work in 1 hit, but over the course of the full day, the 2 big dogs wouldve easily got a full 3hrs use a piece)

My brain is always disconnected
I hope you feel better soon

I hate it when that happens!

It is nice to get a free meal, but it is the whole experience that has been ruined. Not just the cost of the food. Bummer...

Good Morning Gurus!

Well, it looks like I got my wife's cold or flu or whatever. I can't say she never gave me anything!

My brain feels slightly disconnected....:shaking:

Enjoy your day!

Wow, sorry to hear all of that. Sounds like one of my avarage days Hope things turn around for you, keep us up to date with the porsche.

I hear ya. My parents line a door way with the cards as well. My wife is placeing ours on a cabinet (we are running out of room) and to top things off our cards have not been sent yet!

Alright, got your lights up with a week to spare! I got 1 strand up around a tree outside and I have my fake tree up inside which has lights on already. I just find that I dont have alot of time during this time of year. Keeping up with 4 kids then buy and wrapping all the gifts is just plain nuts

WOW! 3 vettes!! Let me bow down before the greatness! That is really amazing though. So are you going to keep everything stock?

Gday Mike

Cant you find it in your GM service manual?

That is the ugliest looking ferrari ive ever seen

Holly Molly,That is one gorgeous hunk of fiberglass CSS996,I wish mine looked just like that.
Nice ride sir.

Had a grrreat day,Got a lot of work done,everything went perfect.
I even got my Christmas tree and lights up and my precious granddaughter helped me.
I was informed today that we get to have her every evening for now on.Life is grand. :thumbleft: :thumbright:

What?

Someone Page me???

It was real nice here today. Great weather for doing a little detailing. not too hot, not too cold.

It's always nice to see pics of someone using their Corvette. Pics aren't bad.

was a cool day here iin southern Ky. mid 40s. man these vettes love to gulp down that cool air !

nice looking Vette! I love the rims... they fit the car perfectly!!!

I think they would look hot on my 92 Polo Green.

The Ferrari in question looks like a 612 Scagletti.

How're y'all doing. Welcome, and enjoy the ride........

All you have to do is get the black trim piece off. It is sorta pressed into place. A little love and a rubber mallet should about handle it.

welcome aboard! Gotta have one nautical reference.

The saga continues..... So I'm cleaning up the 90. I recharge the A/C ,and clean it up real nice. Since I'm cleaning , I go over to the 91 to vac it out and decide to start it up. I happened to have the hood up because I was vacuuming the catch area in front of the windshield of all the leaves and pebbles that get trapped in there. I turn the key and I see a wisp of smoke as the starter attempts to engage. Either the alarm guy or the shop that replaced the starter must have left a wire bare or as luck might have it, it may be something else. So now I have something to do on Thursday. I'm calling the tow truck and bringing it back to the shop that did the starter.
The wife picks me up and we go to pick up the 83 Porsche that was supposed to be ready today. We get there at 5:00 PM and it's sitting on the slightly elevated lift running with a timing light sitting on the back bumper. The mechanic is adding more oil and it hasn't even been test driven yet. He says it's going to be another hour or so. We figure we'll go grab a bite to eat while we wait. Ring......ring....... at the dinner table. The lines that hook up to the thermostat stripped the thermostat threads and the line is not holding pressure. You need a new thermostat. Ka ching. We'll get it first thing in the morning and it should be done by tomorrow night.
Meanwhile, the dinner takes about thirty-five minutes to get to the table. My fries are warm , not hot, and the wife has burnt stuff from the grill on her bacon cheese burger. She asks if thet could just give her a new bun top and cheese. Twenty minutes later they send back a new burger with the manager. This time they bring her a well done burger when she ordered it medium. She didn't even ask for a new burger, just a new top bun with cheese. The manager goes to the kitchen to prepare it himself. 15 minutes later she eats. They were kind enough to void the bill but I'd rather pay for it and just get what we asked for. The restaurant wasn't even very busy and they fubbed this one up pretty good.
The nights not over yet and there is still plenty of time for some more
$#!+ to hit the fan. Overall it's been just another glorious day.........

A BIG HEY YALL

How-DEE!

Welcome to the site! Lots of great people on here! And a couple dorks too!

Have a look around, pull up a chair. Got any pix of your collection that you can share?

I R & R my top about 3 years ago. I had never done it before and took my sweet azz time to do it. It took me about 12 hours to remove the old top and glue and just about as long to get the new one buttoned up. There is a C4 convertible top video/dvd floating around that somebody sent me way back when. I don't think I would have attempted it without it.

GREAT LOOKING SITE WITH GREAT INFO. MY NAME IS MIKE AND IM A VETTE ADDICT. HAVE A BONE STOCK, BLACK/BLACK 93, A RED/BLACK BB 73, AND AN ORANGE/BLACK 76. HOPE TO GET TO KNOW EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU.

Can anyone tell me how to disassemble a targo top for repaint?

Well, more recent than the six or seven that i've about worn out between here and CF anyway...


I went to see a buddy at a camp site. I drove up a dirt road to get there. Not real bad, but kinda made me pucker a little.... I learned on this day, that you can fit two VERY LARGE coolers in the back of a C4! The day I was there was my friend's next-to-last day at the campsite, and I offered to help him pack out a few things so he could load up easier later. He had condensed his food down (especially after a visit from a black bear momma and her cub!) So he asked if I could take the coolers. I looked at them and thought, "No friggin' WAY!" But they fit perfectly. I wish I had taken a photo of THAT.



One at my buddy's house. Just for kicks. I thought the yellow leaves looked cool with the ruby.



I was driving to another friend's house one rainy afternoon, and there was this interesting car gaining on me slowly. I noticed it because it was bright red. It got about 100 feet behind me, and I figured it was a Maserati, but it turned out to be something just a little nicer. A Ferrari or some sort... I'm not up on them. No need to bother myself with it. I can't afford and do not care for them. But they are neat to look at.




All photos, courtesy of my iPhone. Not bad!

Any luck on the Helm manual, I'm still trying to find the problem?

Today is the first cool day we had this winter(52 degrees). This morn. there was a bad accident on 595. Had to turn on the A/C to keep from overheating.

As said above, mine has a couple of chips, but generally looks ok. The door handle, tho... yuck.
