Good morning people!

Yes there are still many signs of ebostock still around, mainly food! I do not think I'll have to actually run out of left overs till the weekend! The fridge was over stuffed every time you open the door sumptin fell out! I'm on vacation this week with the sole purpose to arrange and sort the garage to be able to work on red car. I should be done today with the sorting.

Now back on topic, I sent the photos to Norsky (not that he is going to put 100 shots of the install on everyones CD) but he did convert them over, thus part of the delay in the gathering CD.

I need to be able to put them in PowerPoint to add text and arrows and such, I will have it done as soon as I get picts back. I did order 6 of those long needle picks that they used for the install. They are Snap On brand and I ordered them direct. You need these for the install I'll look up the part number.

Oh and just so you know after the show we made a slight detour since it was on the way home and drove through Griffis Air Force Base........That is where "Woodstock II" was held. We watched it on TV and listened to it comming through our open windows!

I'm interested too  - I have a carpet install to do as well.  Are those "long needle picks" used to locate mounting holes and such? Part number / picture appreciated - thanks
 
by the way, I could use a sort of my garage as well, seeing you have all of this time on your hands!
 
LOL

Vette(s): 1982 C3 Collectors Edition 44000 miles, sat in the sun most of its life, My wife purchased it for me for Father's Day in 2007 from her girlfriend that had it for 19 years. It is on the road again. I'm retired but it is now my daily driver.
I have all of the adobe products not good at them all but got a good price while overseas so I jumped on all of them.  If needed I can easily put them into a pdf or take a pdf and make it a word documented.

Off Topic.......
Almost done sorting, well some stuff will be later. My wifes step dad has alshimers and is in a home, he was a diesel mech and the smartest guy I've ever known. I ended up with most of his tools. I have sold all the bigger stuff and have totes of screw drivers, hand wrenchs and socket sets. The biggest thing is about 20 of those plastic drawer bins loaded with all kinds of stuff. I have to sort thru all that some day, in the mean time they take up a lot of room.  I so miss this man, he now plays with wooden baby toys, so hard to see him that way. Him and Sting Ray Jim have a major presense in my garage, last night I tripped over step dads bumper jack, he did that on purpose!
Lor laughed as she knew how much he would have enjoyed seeing me launched across the garage!  LOLOuchAngry

Hey guys, read these posts as I am also getting close to the carper install,  putting the instrument clusters and heat shielding down now.  Is it too late to get on the carpet install CD wish list.  Let me know how much and how you will distribute.  Any chance you will be at Carslisle?  Thanks!
