Projects Mid Life Crisis 62 Vette

I haven't checked in since yesterday. Is it done yet?

 

Plan BL (Bucket List)...Congratulations @squirrel...looking forward to the journey...you have great Karma for the task...my only thoughts are lucky car......oh okay one more...I have a vision of yours and Brians Vette side by side somewhere where there's Nitro and fast gas in the air...

 

Christmas??

 

Even goes with the red.

 

maybe one of these jumpsuits.....or maybe not.....

 

My buddy Matt drives the crap out of his '59 Vette. The local Corvette purists cringe whenever they see him. He did finally "finish" the car by putting the hood back on it. This summer he wants to go to a Corvette show and park it in the spectator parking lot with "For Sale - $3,500 OBO" on the windshield just to stir the pot. The a**hole will probably put my phone number on the windshield.

 

Cool vette, your phone number, now that's some funny S#%$ right there!!!

 

I could park mine next to it and it would be like twins

 

Around here the most famous Corvette couple are known as Fluffy and Buffy. They dress alike with matching straw hats and hold hands all the time so Mrs. Squirrel will need a jacket too.

 

The only problem with doing something like that is he puts $3,500.00 on it I walk up and hand him the money. He says no, I have witnesses I gave him full price. I can sue him for breech of contract or something like that because. He offered to sell it for $3,500.00 and I accepted his offer but he would not take it from me. He’d probably loose the car to me for the money or make me whole buy buying lkq.

 

Good to see you got a 62 Vette Jim. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

 

“Hunka Hunka”

 

It was a typo.... Was supposed to say $35,000.00 ☺

Someone always has to be a spoil sport.

 

Joking around can get serious awful quick...I'm envisioning a breaking news story for all the wrong reasons...if there is such negative vibes at a show I'd look for a more welcoming event...

It's funny I've had the Ole Hotrod for almost 5 years now and really haven't had many references if any to destroying a classic at the numerous events I've been too...people are generally pretty complimentary and always whipping out the camera...that said I don't go to Original/Restoration Specific events for Model A's...

 

You must be a blast to have at a party. Until both the buyer and seller agree on terms and conditions there is no contract. A seller can reject an offer, even an offer for the full stated price, if he wants to.

 

Not much getting done on the car this week, I'm on a camping trip. But I brought the books and catalogs, so I can do homework

 

One of these would be handy for reassembly

 

Make sure to get a good one...Mine had been copied so many times it was almost illegible

 

I have one, if someone needs something from it, I can post the page with the info needed.

 

This is worth getting...not cheap, but worth getting. Maybe you have a birthday coming up...Fathers day gift?

 

The car came with two of them. I'm set.

The car came with one of them. I 'm set.

Thansk for the suggestions. I also have the factory service manual, a (ha ha!) NCRS restoration guide, and a few other neat books he included with it.

 

NCRS=No Components Remain Stock

 

That NCRS is a bad rabbit hole to go down.
Most of the ones I work on are that caliber of cars.

 

yeah, it's probably helpful to figure out how to put some things back together, but other than that I don't care if it's original.

 

Original is for people with no imagination.

 

Hot rodders are true artists. Original purists just paint by numbers

 

I need a Bloomington Gold REJECT license plate frame

 

I didn't know you were a camper Jim? lol

 

An Airstream camper to be exact.

 

My wife planned this trip a while ago, we're poking around in New Mexico with our old Airstream. I found a few old mopars to look at, too.
