She's sitting in the garage with a dead battery, 1/2 a steering system and a carb badly in need of an rebuild. I've been so busy in the last few weeks that any spare time I get is spent sleeping. Just quit my job (today's my last day), wife has been sick all week,which means I have the kid 24/7, haven't been on the forum in two weeks..blah blah (woe is me, woe is me)

BUT! Wife is getting better. Grandparents are taking the kid for a weekend and I'm a half hour away from happy hour with the gang. Oh and did I mention the new job is giving me a BIG OL' signing bonus? And we all know what that means: VETTE PARTS :lol:

Don't worry baby, daddy's coming home to fix you up right :D

I'm reporting you to the Corvette Welfare Department, going to tell them that you have been neglecting your vet :yesnod:. They will make you take better care of her and their better not be any new marks on her :lol:.

 

Well it looks like you have your priorities right anyway :D If you need help just give me a call or drop in, I'm off starting this Tuesday morning. BTW, if you need a temp/new carb I still have that Edelbrock in the garage. Welcome back to the outside world :lol:

Mine is in about the same shape, except the whole motor needs a rebuild, new exaust system, new interior, blah blah blah. And worst of all i have never worked on a car before in my life, well i am only 19. So I need to learn how to do this stuff ;) It will be fun.But I wont get to put money into it till I get paid on the 10th, got to pay my parents off which is still 2 paychecks away.

I bought the car this way, not expecting it to be this bad, 1 month ago. I couldnt go look at the car, it was in washington. But i look at it this way I will have fun with the car, getting it to run and then to drive it. I have started it a few times and the neighbors have allready noticed, they have been coming over and admiring the car. I guess thats what happens when you have a 454 with no mufflers, and who knows what else is missing on that exaust, all I know is it is extremely loud.

Yea!! Happy Father's Day!!! :cheers:

 

Thanks guys. I'm just happy to be returning to the world of the living.

Scott I may take you up on that loaner carb. I'm going to buy the rebuild kit this week. We'll see how long it takes to get it done..

Thanks! Back at 'cha!

 

:boxing I know the feeling. My right rear wheel bearing went out in Feb. March I ripped out the rear suspension for rebuild. The while I'm at it's got way out of hand and I ended up doing an entire rear suspension / drivetrain rebuild, plus the frame restoration (body on), new gas tank and restoring everything under the car from the driveshaft aft. I only got it together a little over a week ago! :cool: Hang in there - the corvettes are patient cars. :)

 

keep your chin up. :cheers:
