Got another Vette lined up after this 1963.
Original owner is ready to sell.
1982 Silver green, with Silver green leather.
Both sets of T-tops glass and painted.
Only 18k original miles, but started and driven regularly in the last 10 yrs.
Excellent condition and still wearing the factory Goodyear tires.
I'm going to go over it and give it a detail.

One like it for sale.

Wow, that's going to be quite a find for someone. Those 82's seem to be getting a little more popular than they once were.

A very large portion of this was filmed right by me. The Chevron that he gets fuel it is where I fill The Eight Nine and Frankie. Kind of a PITA to get into with a low car, but I manage.


Said Chevron:

This T-Bird that Bad Chad is doing is looking sweet with the shortened/chopped top.

That's too bad. They did a lot of work preparing for it and said it shouldn't got that bad. What they didn't expect was a certain culvert plugging up, one that was a vital part in the planning and preparedness effort. By the time the county was on site, the culvert was already under 25' of water. Impossible to get to.

I'm not sure they do a whole about culverts eventually plugging up. They're has to be quite a bit of debris in the water. A county spokesman mentioned there was something like 600 miles of culverts in the affected area... yea, impossible to watch them all.

The effort that many put in did paid off though,saving a lot of areas from what I've seen in the vids...those sand bags are containing that mad rush of water very well. Localizing and channeling the run off to temporary spillways... saving quite a bit of real estate. Excellent work from the people

This has all been very reminiscent of 1983. That was a site to behold... people EVERYWHERE doing sandbagging, and making temporary water ways.

I believe it was you that used a "paint on" method. If so, can you explain how well it worked for you? I have brake parts that I'd like to derustify and I don't want to soak them, necessarily.
Try using vinegar and a toothbrush...works better than you think it would. I've been told a vinegar/baking soda paste works better but I haven't tried it.

Up early today, getting a new furnace and A/C unit installed.
And of course, it's 34° and feels like 25° with the 14-mph wind.
