no problem Grandpa, you guys are welcome anytime.

Paul, I wasn't expecting a "yes" anyway but you never know, besides, I know Linda would love to get together with Teresa again sometime. :)

wow, I hadn't meant to hi-jack your thread here Paul with my own project but to reply to all: I have GOOD jackstands! I made sure of that when I first started doing my own work about 2 years ago. I shelled out the extra couple of dollars and went with the 6-ton stands instead of the 2 or 3 ton...

Hi Paul! long time no see or hear from you! How's Theresa? lucky you on the lift! I sure could use one this winter also since I need to pull the tranny out of my '65 this winter also to rebuild it and than also replace the clutch and throw-out bearing. I guess I'll be doing it on my back with...

I don't have sons and Mike isn't my son. members of our Corvette club heard about his problem with the car and simply decided to help him out. Mike's dad and his two younger brothers did help out on the project though so Mike does have the satisfaction of knowing he did it together with his...

Bernie no problem! the help you gave when you were available was generous enough, not to mention getting us the sandblasting on the frame!! He already had the car flatbedded from Andy's and taken to his cousin Dale's place for the winter to do other work on it. Turns out Dale has a huge garage...

thanks Andy! :) Jeff, you got me! no one can figure out how so many cracks like that happened. All we can guess is that that car had one hard life before Mike bought it. BTW, were you at our Corvettes for Chip show on Nov. 11th? the car in your avatar looks like a car that was there as it was...

thanks for the kind words guys! Mike is VERY, VERY happy. getting the car completed on his birthday was an added bonus. Andre, I'll get that package back to you as soon as possible, just have to work it to get to the shipping store around my work schedule

Well, it's been a longer project than we had planned, we started planning it in the middle of May and started actually working on the car July 3rd and finally today we finished. Today we had to reinstall the drivers side exhaust manifold which was removed to get the frozen studs out to replace...

Ralph sent you a PM THANKS!!!!!!! Barry

wow, I just noticed this thread had somehow gotten revived. How did that happen? it was originally back from 2004! ;LOL

awesome, THANKS!

Ralph I'd LOVE to have it. I heard there was a video out on rebuilding Muncies but haven't taken the time yet to find the source of it and where to get it. Having it on DVD would be even better because I can play that in most rooms of the house including my office but we only have one VCR...

I used to always take trhe car into a shop for EVERYTHING including simple oil changes but after realizing that most shops have NO IDEA how to work on older cars without computers, not to mention I can't afford to pay a shop to constantly make repairs on both Vettes, I now do everything myself...

are you sure the exhaust leak is coming from where the exhaust manifold mates to the head? More likely is that it may be coming from one of the A.I.R. pipe connections in the manifold or elsewhere as the stock manifold is pretty thick and not very prone to warping on the mounting surface. If you...

stock exhaust manifolds don't have gaskets to replace........

ok, glad you got the shroud out. next, now that we understand your "motivation" on makinng changes please try to keep this in mind on the cooling system on your car......... many, many, many people have treid to re-engineer the cooling systems on these Vettes to help them run cooler as they can...
