On the Corvette, Been enjoying it much. But, had an incident North of Moss Bluff last month where a guy came off a side street into traffic in a rage and the little lady in the right lane had to take evasive action to miss him and right into the nose of my car. The guy did a hit and run and we were too busy avoiding other cars to get a license number. Not much damage to the car but some more scrapes and tears in the right nose section and a piece broken off the headlight cover.
So , ordered a headlight cover from Vettevillians that had been in a fire but not warped and good to sand and paint for 103 bucks to the door. Pull the nose off and straighted the fog light bracket, patched the cracks and blimishes, sanded , primed , sanded, primed again, base coat, sanded and clear coat. The last was a mistake as the sanding showed though the clears so light sanded again and another base coat , then two coats of clear.
Paints and new gun running around 350 bucks.
Then new light sockets as the old was getting pretty burned and was going to go LED but wrong bulbs and the resistors way to hot for me wanting to live with that. So, back to regular bulbs.
Put the whole front nose back together with all lights in it and installed on the car. A slight mismatch on the paint but no matter. Do plan to work in a run and some orange peel later but now hurry.
Did order a radio for the car and that should be in this coming week.
Plus , my resoldiering job on the ECBM relay doing just fine and after a thousand miles , has new shown it's face again.
Next is the radio I have coming in for it and at the time rid it of the sirrius set up and see if I can correct the temp readout problem for the Auto Climate controls
The KLR, Speedo cable broke right before I was going to roll 50,000 miles so did get to do it on the way home. Ordered a new cable assembly and Installed it. Then went and did the rollover.
Next, the clutch cable broke but had one on the shelf so that was fixed fast.
Last week, da Wife mention about my truck leaking oil but I fail to see anything in my drive way so figured it was one of her friends cars. But, a few days ago did see a few drops in my drive to under the truck I went to find the source. Ends up being the rear Transmission seal. So, going to replace that this week.
Fire Dept Bar Be Cue went down yesterday so it was a busy Sat and Sun for me and others that helped out. Love doing that every year though seems like I do less and less as the body gets older. ;-)
