Vette(s): 1980 L-48 still in the middle of a frame-off.
I swear it's like working with dumb and dumber. First I had to beat them senseless so they would listen to me, and then I had to beat them some more but they finally came around to my style of common sense and we managed to get it up on the car trailer.
 
Got it back in the yard today and I am still working on getting a shelter for it. The city is deciding whether it needs a building permit or not. I have photos of other shelters in the city with no permits so we shall see.
 
Is this ever going to end??? I am going to try again to have it finished by July 08.




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

Funny I left home when I was 18 and don't remember my parents doing much "coaching" after that. My two daughters seem to have the corner on the "hey Dad" market. Luckily for me I wouldn't have it anyway.

Dennis your a luck man! I sure wish I would have had somebody to beat! It's not much fun when your the one getting beatin on constantly.

Would you mind if I borrowed them? I promise I won't hit them. I would however supplement them into my spot and you can bet with my wife the beatings will continue!
