Ode to Wisdom
There she is. In her worn outfit,
with new shoes anxious to retrace the world.
She's matured, but happily predict
the thump to rise America.
Casual, as when in company of close friends.
Accepted for what she contends,
and wiser for all the miles unfurled,
she beams in joy -unexplained erotica
And not alone, but among
her well-cared siblings who still extend
words of encouragement, they recommend.
For the way dirt she kicked,
slipping past, like wind in warm afternoon.
Soothingly refreshing, to a future -soon.
Hey people, my Vette spent the first week in the shop. She is in the hands of Corvette lovers. The local shop -the only one of its kind in Albuquerque, is owned by San Francisco Bay Area transplants (just like I am), and they have restored around 14 Corvettes among the family members. When I dropped-off Gail, I got a tour of their shop, and they showed me 3 of the current projects they are working on.
There is a 1962 Corvette, convertible, in worn-white finish, that reminds me of Lou's Corvette, but under the hood, there is an LS2 engine, and running gear. Even the rear and the front suspensions are from an 2006 Vette. There is a 1960 Vette, that it is a Drag-race project. And there are other C2's being redone by the family members.
Some of you know that my Vette shows the poor repair remnants by a Chevrolet dealer in Alameda, California, and that faint line running from left to right on the peak of the front fender toward the hood is going to be repaired. A similar line also runs toward the hood on the drivers-side fender. They will grind several layers of this area, and they will layer fresh fiberglass. But this is time consuming. They will also fix a small crack on the left-front fender wheel well.
She will be painted in original charcoal gray, but the paint type will be polyurethane mixed-in with the clear coat, and it will be applied in one step.
She has 5 more weeks at the shop. The build-up of the fiberglass areas takes the longest. They will apply a layer, and then they will let it cure three to four days. Then, they will prep the area, and apply the second layer, and so on. 3 - 4 weeks will be absorbed by this process. This weekend, she will be curing the second layer.
She'll leave the shop with a fresh set of pinstripes in silver, as she was when I first bought her back in 1985 with barely 14K miles.
So soon, gang, I will be proud to say that she's finally done and ready to drive the world in her new dress. Perhaps in time for the spring.
