Ok
Had first BIG road trip in the 96 vette.
Dropped off the UAV (ugly as$ van) with all the PA in Mobile, AL for the returning show Sunday night.
Found out that you can fit a small suitcase, a collapsed dog kennel, an aluminum breifcase, a few other essentials, AND a full sized guitar in the back of a Vette. Took the vette from Mobile down to Orange Beach, AL for a weekend of shows. Condo was great. Weather held nicely. Shows were a blast.
Car performed flawlessly!
Nice smooth and stable on the Foley Expressway. Was able to pull the top one day and cruise around.
Still interested in this Wind Deflector someone mentioned the other week. Have not seen a pic but sounds like it works.
On the gaskets and weatherstriping, I was told today that household vasaline will do the same as the commercial conditioners.
Anyone doing that? What do you use?
Also, has anyone taken a star tool and created a drill bit fitting from it? Seems like a no brainer to have a cordless drill and be able to quickly re-attach the top in times of rain and such.
Had a chance to read the manual front to back one day by the bay and learned how to use the electronic climate control. Trick in getting defrost on by pressing Heater and Def. at same time. Other tricks like that.
Started getting a sqeek at times in the front left brake. Have to get that checked out one day soon.
Other than that. Tip top drive!
Finally,
What catalogs do you order from?
With my MGB we had the Brittish Layland catalog that had every thing you ever needed. Sure they have those for vettes.
Thanks
