Default Wheel Well Find-No Corvette Content

My 10 yr. old grandkid learning to install a caliper. He fits there much better than I do. I belong to a number of forums but this was the only one where I thought it would be appreciated. He already has dibs on the 65 fuelie.

68 TR250 Met a guy while filling up our corvettes. He tells me he can't get his car in the garage because of this old British car that hasn't run since 1979. I offered to look at it but said said he wasn't ready, A year later he has the station owner give me a call. The 250 was a 1 year only car. TR4A body lengthened to fit the TR6 chassis and engine. This one also has overdrive. It's been a fun project and something I hope he always remember doing.

Very cool looking car and good for you to teach the next generation some hands on skills.

The car was "stored" with the top down. The bungee cords where used to stretch the top in the hot sun. After a week I was able to get the top on the car the way the British intended - it will leak like a sieve and require interior wipers that will work intermittently like Lucas designed.

I have no moral compass I must confess. I bribed him with a "no holds bar ride" in the fuelie when I get the dash back in.
