Eileens 79 Corvette resurrection. It survived 1450miles on Power Tour

Finish radiator install. Electric fans. PS pump, alternator, AC pump. Plug wires and cap. Some other little stuff. Told Eileen I can't touch it until after the first of the year. She leaves for work on October 22nd. I plan on having it running when she gets back in 14 days.

Shhhh, don't tell her.

Wade you're awesome!
 
Props to you wade wish I could focus and get moving on personal project like I do at work when my damn dealer has work for me lately.

You seem to work 24/7 at lighting speed!
 
It is now in her garage. I wanted it backed in so I can tinker with it. How do you do that when it doesn't run, the ramp into the garage is up hill and it is on the trailer the wrong way?

You fab up a hitch in a brand new quick release plate for a skid steer. Unload the car. Turn the trailer around and reload the car. Then back the trailer to the garage and lift the nose of the trailer untill the back of the trailer hits the floor. Winch the car off the trailer into the garage.

It sucks sometimes that all of my friends work weekdays. Did this by myself.

Pics or it didn't happen!
 
I may get to it sooner than I thought.

Eileen's British employer just asked her to take a 14 day Southwest tour that starts Monday from Denver. The other guide flaked. $4k plus tips and excursion percentage. She decided not to pass it up. And the president of the company was the person who asked. It's not what you know, it's who you know. He said the company owes her more for doing this.

Sounds like a waste, given how big the other garage is. :whistle:
