Default tunnel plate

Received my tunnel plate from Jeff at Elite Engineering. Just what I expected.. A quality part at a good price. When the temperature gets above 20 I can put it on.

21 degrees is a good time to work in the garage?? Those New Yorkers are a hardy bunch.

Manchester? I'm about 30 minutes away by Bristol Mountain. You're welcome to use the pit in my garage if you want to do this a bit easier than using jacks. (Assuming you don't have a lift.)

It is a weather phenomenon depleting the ozone protection caused by all of the corvette owners and their wheel burnouts . That dasterdly bunch will be the end of the world.

Has been in the low teens here in northern Arizona, but it gets up in the 50s during the day. Even took a short trip down to Sedona today with the top down. Verts are good.

I also received my tunnel support from Elite this week, but will wait until it warms up to install. Today it was only 75F here in Tucson. Way too cold to work. Nice driving day though.

Tom, thanks for the offer. We spoke last year through the forum. We never did hook up. Maybe this year at Wegmans Thursday car shows.

Ah, yes! I do remember now. I go there once in a while. I've found that the Log Cabin on Rt. 31 has the best cruise ins in our area. It's closer to you and worth a try come late spring. Look for the lowered C5 MY vert. The offer of the pit is open to you and all forum members most any time. (visitor brings the beverages. )
