Default Tailend tuesday

Because it sounds better than to do it on Sunday! Cut off is midnight Tuesday, it will start all over again the following week I'll be doing a front end Friday on Friday And a Sideways Saturday. I know we all like our cars but please limit the pictures to 68-82 Corvettes.

My daughter named the car Wicked Red because of the last two letters on the plate

Not the best picture of my dirty garage or my dirty tail end, but I was pretty happy when I took this picture. It was probably the first time in over 20 years that my car had working reverse lights. I was surprised the bulbs still worked. The arm from the reverse pawl was missing, so I bought one and finally installed it to the backup light switch. So, good day....

Default Oil Change Time

Had the 82 elevated for an oil change. Can’t recall why I would take this picture, but glad I did now...

Ha. Now that you mention it, yeah, it is crooked. Good eye. Once the body is back on the frame, I’ll have to make sure all of that stuff is straightened out.
