 I move the vette to the street today and the noise was bad,real bad .I don't think it's the bearing because it more of a knocking sound,and the bearing that I have heard fail at work didn't sound like that.So I am going to arrange a piggy back ride for Ol Blue just to get it up to the hobby shop.That way it's up there when I able to get there to work on it.This is one summer I would love to forget.(Hasn't been mine)

darn, you are correct.  It is Luke.  Hot and Dry as I recall.  We use to have AF bases in Michigan, now there is none.  Also Wisconsin and Ill.    Now only one in  Indiana.   Can you name that one!!!!
