Default Help where does this go? [pic]

I have had my 77 apart so long I forgot where this part goes. I am sure it goes somewhere in the lower console. Thanks for the help

That's a new one. Maybe in the AIM? I'll bet it's not in the IPC..


OOPS. IPC= parts catalog

I have a '77, actually I have had three of them, and I don't recall ever seeing that part even when my interior was gutted.

That'd be a 25 foot Lufkin.

Third drawer down on the left side tool cabinet.
Goes behind the 6 and 12 inch rulers.

Make sure you wipe it off good before you put it away.
I hate dirty tools.

That is the optional double ended bottle opener. Comes in quite handy when you have the buds over for a few cool ones. Very rare option. I'd hold onto it. Probably worth a lot to the right people.

Oh!!! The metal thingy?!

Well that's a dual handled paint scraper!
The wooden handles have been broken off!

Back in the old days, these where used for removing lead based paint on 4" wide lap siding. Was probably under the seat or something and fell out.

Not Corvette at all!

I may just have to do what Vette-Kid said put it with the rest of my unknown parts. Thats what I get for tearing this car apart over 2 years ago without catalogging everything.

when you take something apart, put it back together, and have left over parts....
DO NOT WORRY, you have NOT messed anything up, you have in fact found a way to make it MORE efficient!!!! for example, ever rebuild an engine, and have a bunch of parts left over, and it runs just fine for years... see, you found a way to make it more efficient

It goes in the AC heater control between the slide levers.
