Thread: Updating my Corvette

"..... Us old farts got tired...."

I hear ya Ken. Like some I don't sleep well this time of year, I'm usually out in the shop by 3-4 AM. Usually spend some time planning out the day but by the time the rest of the world wakes up and I can go to town and pick up what I need or start calling people I'm pretty much over it .

Fortunately only 2 current projects currently......looking into a whole house Generator and getting some miles on the 57 to see if any bugs pop up before I make the rip back to Illinois this year (maybe).

Looking forward to seeing the pipes on the vette.

The right front caliper is leaking again so Richard, aka techinsoector1, decided it was time to change them all out. We started on the back since it's the most complicated because of the emergency brake which was also dragging. We should have the rears done today today and time permitting we'll star on the fronts.
Next is the headers and the side pipes and after that eliminating the vacuum headlights with an electric conversion I bought from a member on a Corvette forum. The headlight conversion will eliminate the antiquated vacuum system which at best is a pain in the butt. I haven't pulled the trigger yet, but next is a Vintage Air system which will eliminate the rest of the vacuum system. While the dash is out to replace the factory plenum I'll probably update the wiring with a blade fuse block to replace the glass fuse one.
