Blew my knee out while I was repairing, of all things, the garden tractor.  Now all my new parts just sit there teasing me with the sexy glimour of polished and blackened steel.  I hobble to my front door a couple of times a week to accept even more peices for the rebuild.  Each new package taunts me with a deaffening nah nah nah nah nah nah...
 
OK, maybe it's a little much.  I have to wait till my daughter gets here so I can sit myself down and she can be my "gofer".  I love that she likes working on the vette.

I am sure you will get to it soon rather then later.  New parts are magnetized and they affect human brains in a funny way.  You can always fondle the parts.

Corvettes and women are the same...You want to make love to them but they keep breaking down.

Thanks for the well wishes.
 
"fondle the parts"  What a sick and twisted comment...You know, if I wear cotton gloves I can polish them as well!

Nice weekend.  My daughter and I had fun starting to "dry" fit the accessories.  I did get the 3/4" spacer to use with the Edelbrock carb and stock air cleaner.  I'm not sure if I'll keep the stock air cleaner but at least it's an option.
