Thanks all (Especially John!) :beer (<- Yeah, I had a few of those, too!) Today I spent in the Garage Mahal finishing the shipping crate for a 396 big block that's heading to a 69 Camaro waiting in Sweden. Sorry, didn't get up to the MHL - yet!

I've been helping switch engines in a 62 (base 327 auto) and have the same problem as before the transplant: the engine doesn't want to start when hot. We've replaced the engine with a correct 62 block, rebuilt the starter, rodded out the radiator and installed a new battery. When cold, it...

All 56-60 tops will interchange. There are trim differences such as: early 56 has a thinner aluminum header trim; 56-58 have a "Y" type trim at the junction of each bottom side window and the rear window; 59-60 has a different arrangement; the header liner is also different for 56-7; 58; 59-60...

Wow, Tom! I've never seen rhd 53 Corvettes before! Oh, the pictures are correct in your next post... (See Leffingwells "Corvette; 50 Years" pg 94 for a chuckle!)

Yup that 56 preceeded nearly all other 56 Corvettes! Too bad Lars isn't around anymore. I've heard his family finally came to some agreement about (#41) it. OK, specially prepared for Prince Bertil of Sweden.

OK, old Solid Axle Photos, hmmm.. My 57 wasn't much older than 1 month here: Then Webster had some fun:

Good news :D! After (too many) tests and an overnight "observation" stay there's no clot or heart attack; she probably was reacting to the antibiotics (a 30-45 min infusion 2x/day for at least 2 wks - this is one nasty bug :mad). Thanks for the thoughts - I've passed them on to her (and thanks...

I-phones are pretty spiffy; I just wish I wasn't doing this from the hospital ER. Sandie has an infection & is getting iv antibiotics for a "superbug." Now she may have a blood clot. We're waiting for test results. Maybe later I can find time to upload pics of the 1st outside job in progress...

Just to show "project creep" is still alive and well, the Garage Mahal Technical Library is now ready for use (as soon as I replace the friggin bulb in the microfiche reader :mad)! Dunno if I'll be able to do much more - time to keep the Federal budget un-balanced! Maybe I'll be able to...

At 93, she'd seen it all! My salute to one of the original Motorhead Ladies (from 1997): Thanks for allowing us to enjoy the ride with you! :thumb

Bonnell; when do you plan to stop by? :D (Just gimmee a little notice...the MHL refrigerator has cold ones already but I haven't finished installing the surround sound yet!) John; the rail installation was definately a 2-person job but like most, prep work and thought about how to start and...

Post a pic; there are design differences depending on the year.

...and all 5 were originally coupes; nos 1 & 2 were "convertibleized" in the hopes of faster speed.

One of these days I'll get things in order and show the progress of the other renovations beside the garage - but for now howzabout what we did with our old one car garage: (hey, it was a garage ;LOL) You're looking at what used to be the garage door. It's now a bay window with built in...

I'dve never thunk it, but in anticipation of Tropical Storm Fay a little while ago I brought in everything that I could - including all 3 vehicles. It got a bit crowded but...

How about then: and now: Of course, since there's about 40+ years between pictures there's been a few (more) changes.

One kewpie doll for John, please! :thumb That is indeed a microfiche reader, on its temporary home. I have the complete (as of a few years ago) set of Corvette parts on microfiche; the reader was a "gift" from a friend who was going to throw it out(!). I plan to build a small table next to the...

John, I only wish that was my rush season! Somewhere in the distant past I recall something like that! :L Now the "season" seems to end about 2 weeks before the next one starts. (Of course, I can't complain too loud - Congress seems intent on giving me job security! :W) I managed to add one...

OK, now it's official! Well, Friday the electrician came by to install undercabinet lighting in the kitchen and studio, and then I (actually, he) insisted on installing the transformer and mounting this: Here's a closer shot. The clock is 14" and the whole sign in about 22". It's mounted...

I'm having a bit of a problem with the service at home right now so this is a quick note from work. (Sorry, no pics here.) Grumpy - I still need to buy a helmet before I get to weldin'; first I have to finish the house proper in the next month (by my wife's birthday August 23rd) - or else...
