Thanks Paul - also good ideas - hadn't thought about the other side of the firewall. On my list for tonight. Steve

Thanks Barry - I am leaning more towards the air intakes rather then the windshield myself. I will check those areas tonight. Been following your progress. Won't be long now. I hope to have mine back on the road in about a month. Just not enough time. Steve

After the recently completed paint job on my 66 coupe, had the professionals install the new windshield (couple months back). Gave it a good bath last night and discovered major water on the front floor. New rubber seal looks fine. Was not there for the install so, don't know if any sealant...

paul67 - you da man! Thanks. Steve

Anybody have a picture of the hole in the right side inner fender well for the wiring from the front turn signal to pass through to the wiring harness? I replaced the fender well and did not expect the new one not to have the hole - dumb! Thanks, Steve

Paul - where do you get the time? Keep it up and you'll have that body stripped and painted before you know it! Steve

Paul - would like to say yes but, after Bonnie having her third major surgery since we met up with you last year, the Corvette work is fit in on a not too regular basis. I am coming down the home stretch. Working on getting all the electronics back in operation then on to all exterior trim...

Barry - thanks for the info. Already was prepared with the proper rear shims. Been following your progress. Let me tell you that the buffing makes all the difference. I have just finished mine - after many hours - but what a difference. Absolutely minimal orange peel - lots of shine. it...

Am hoping for an alignment this weekend (maybe) and can't seem to find the mid-year specs quickly. Any body have them handy? Thanks. Steve

Then I can take it the next month or so. We wouldn't want you to hurt yourself. Steve

Mark - I wasn't totally clean. I dripped some juice from the hot peppers on my nice new shirt. Also, your 65 was so clean, I would have had to crawl arround on the ground like Bill to get dirty. Great day and lots of time for B/S. I liked Rob's comment about the 64 we rolled in as the next...

I don't even clean up after myself at home - just ask my wife. So, just what are we 'cleaning up'?

Way to go Paul. With the progress you have made, I think all you must be doing is work on vette, go to real job, work on vette, go to real job - oh yeah - sleep some time. Wish you could make it to VNV's body drop. We could critique and eat Mark's food all day. Steve.

Mark - I will be there. You have mail or was it a PM - I get them confused. I will also be sporting a fully restored, numbers matching NCRS certified Powell's Super Service t-shirt to bring back some old memories. Steve

I figure as long as my neighbor starts up his Ford 350 dually Diesel at 6:00 am - the gloves are off! I start up my 66 big block with side pipes any time I want - so long as its OK with the wife. I have really enjoyed your progress updates - drive that baby!! Steve

Way to go Paul! You have really made great progress since I saw you in Oct. (?) I think. Keep the info and pics coming. I am just about finished polishing out the clear coat on my 66. I hope to have the reassembly completed by July 1st. A parade on the 4th is a good possibility. Steve

GREAT video - Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Mark - as you say tools and some limited expertise are not the issue - looking for your experience and parts source. Thanks for the info. Put me on the list for the body drop. You do know how to throw a party!! Steve

Mark - looking good!! If you had to do the steering box all over again - what would you do? I have to redo mine - way too much slop - and would appreciate your 'expertise'. Just got a Bend-Pak sissors lift - no more backaches while trying to buff the sides of the new paint job!! Steve

Thanks for all the input. Rich - great garage - thanks for all the links. Have to do something - my 55 year old back just can't take it no more! Steve
