Default Re: Worst freaking mechanical tasks on C3 (LT-1 Larry)

Everything involving the interior is a pain, but I've had I've done it all at least twice. I've heard the heater core is impossible to get to so when mine blew and destroyed my interior I just bypassed it. Two months (maybe) of not driving my Vette every year isn't THAT bad. :D

"Having redone the entire car both inside and out,cosmeticly and mechanical.I still think the hardest one job was the radiator and shroud.Over the years I have had it out three times for verious reasons and still can not find an easy way to do it.I can pull the engine or replace the trans quicker than I can do the radiator".
:iagree: and this is my 8th 'vette,and I've never had enough patience or money to farm repairs out!!!!!! Peace,,,,,,bye , Moosie
