Default If you could ASK BUBBA one question...

what would it be?

Mine:

Can you please justify the multiple layers of different colored paint on EVERYTHING???

(and no, I will not accept "to beat the rust" as an answer, as you have PAINTED OVER RUST a number of times!!!)

buba why did you hold my broken linkage rod together with 2 hose clamps Also Why THE F&*K did you use galvanized bolts with no anti-seize in my number matching heads.(for the manifolds) I hate trying to remove 4 broken exhaust manifold bolts. Its the only things I could find on the car that wasn't done right. I don't understand.

Bubba, what the %@$! did you do with the 427 that came with the car when it was new?

Oh, and why did you replace the broken hood release cable with a coat hanger?

Why can't you stick to Mustang's, Nova's or TransAm's and leave the Corvette's alone?

This BUBBA deserves two questions!

1. Why did you beat the lower A-Arm shaft with a sledge hammer and chisel to get the bushings out. The races were scalloped by the chisel then rough ground on a bench grinder. Also 1/4" chisel cuts on both side of the shaft so it could stress crack in half over time.

2. Why did you put it back in the car?
