OH YAH....Ecklers shipped my Oring calipers today....will get them Friday and the vette shop will do the work Monday/Tuesday....this trip is costing a small fortune.....damn I love my vette

Also plan to get a new digital camera and blame the expense on the vette .... heheheheh

Well, we've lost one of our brothers for this trip.
Bry75229 has given up any hope of getting his 'Vette back(in one piece) in time. Bummer...
Hey, Bryan...."Hertz"!!!
Sorry you won't be making it.

Bryan....that sucks....was looking forward to seeing you....Oh well, better that it isn't pushed and something isn't put back together "Perfect".

I just dropped off my vette at "Corvettes of Dallas" to have the break system redone....will be ready Tuesday...they promised...

Kerry,

If I were you, I would call Monday to the shop to keep them on their toes about having those breaks done buy the next day.   I do this to my shop all the time.    Good Luck and see you there.

I took a six hour drive to Corvettes of Dallas yesterday afternoon to pick up the right size strut rod bushings. I paid for them over the phone and he left them in the trash can for me. Another exercise in futility. The mechanic, and I use that term loosely, working on my car was susposed to be done with it today, just called and said he blew a seal in his Porta-Power so he couldn't get the strut rods back on until 'sometime' Monday.   Do you NEED a Porta Power to put strut rods on or is he just BS'ing me again?

No... it will be Mama & me meeting you at the Lowes, I-30/Galloway @ 5am. Then we will meet up with Kerry(Reds92CE) in Greenville. From there we will meet Dwain(Longhorn294) in Texarkana.
I talked to Dwain earlier. Hopefully he's got Gomer straightened out!

[QUOTE=longhorn294]Gomer joined the USMC,. I'm dealing with Goober now. [/QUOTE] Ok, watch it Longhorn.....I've never lost a fight.   Haven't you and Joel ever heard of "payback's?"  Well, you all's is comin' and I won't have to lift a finger!  

I just couldn't see why we were meeting Kerry in Greenville, when he & his wife live in McKinney.......whatever.
