OK, I had 15 minutes to look at the car before heading to work.
Hooked up the manifold gauges, and there was pressure.

I thought about that for a minute, then remembered. Saturday, after charging the A/C, I was looking around and decided to MOVE the compressor wire. I didn't remember too hook it back up.

So, all is GOOD. I need more than an hour at a time in the garage.
That and a better memory.

Have a Great Day,

Bill

Rescue Rogers

Now our sounding like me. Congrats on the beautiful tranformation.

Barrist

Well, it was a week later than I had hoped. But the Vintage Air is DONE, and the hood is back on.



Console could be in better shape. (maybe someday)



But Hey, It's back together.



Now all I have to do, is revisit the window switches, and the speedometer cable ( damn, I know I hooked that up).

Other than that, I'm extremely Happy with the Vintage Air System.

Have a Great Day,

Bill

Barrist

Alright, you guys didn't call me out, on the sill plate on backwards.

Who knew the holes would line-up in either direction?

But, it's fixed, along with the windows and speedometer.......

Have a Great Day,

Bill

Have a Great Day,

Bill

Barrist

Well, Thanks to the Wife, and Her Niece, All 3 Made It.



The One in the middle, was the only one to get a trophy.



But, It was a Great Day................

Barrist

Well, Last Tuesday, was One of "THOSE" Days.

Weather broke on One of my days off. Head for the garage, and the waiting-to-do List.

New battery in Corvair. Check

New brake light switches in the Buggy. Check

Fix that damn neutral safety switch in the Vette. Check

Move Vette out of garage for a little floor cleaning.

NO BRAKES !!!!!!!!!!

The Parts are in for the Corvair, but I guess the Vette just got Moved to the TOP of the List, AGAIN.

Have a Great Day,

Bill

I put the Vette away with no brakes in November

You are 2 hours north of me, how did you get get good enough weather to do ANYTHING, much less work on three cars..

BTW..beautiful looking Corvair...

Barrist

Never to Old to Learn, I Guess.

Ordered new Brakes from Corvette Central.

Called last Wednesday, everything was "In Stock"

I did not Phone order, as I was hoping to save the shipping, and just
drive the half hour to pick up. I was informed that "pick-up, added state tax." ( Hmm, $44.00 tax, or $26.00 to ship ?)

So, I opted to ship......Hmm, Brake Disc Package, now out of stock.

Master Cylinder, Cap, and two front wheel bearing seals. "$26.00 Shipping"

Called them back on that. They will credit me $10.74 shipping.

"best shipping" on the above items.......$9.23

Guess I NEED to CALL AGAIN !!!!!!!!!!

Now, just hoping ZIP comes through !!!!!!!!

Hope You All, are having a Better Day,

Bill

Barrist

Well, Corvette Central made Good on the shipping.

Zip, was Fast as Always............

And Yes the brakes were BAD !



Just Guessing the Pads should be in One piece.



And, Now I know why the E-Brake didn't hold.



Waiting on Willcox, for those.

Have a Great Day,

Bill

Barrist

Oh, I forgot to Add, that during bleeding the brakes the pin fell out of the brake pedal. NO CLIP !

Now reflecting on No Emergency Brakes, and No brake pedal. Hmm, Glad I Parked it when I did last year !

Still waiting on the parts...................

Have a Great Day,

Bill

Barrist

Go Figure ! More In-Stock Items, not In-Stock

Now, set and wait for PayPal credit, then try Again..............

doorgunner

WOW...but a good WOW. All those delays caused you to park the car which means you probably avoided a nasty accident.

Barrist

Actually, the Delays are just pissing me OFF !

Maybe I'm not "Hooked-In" enough, to understand Why "In-Stock" is NOT !

Then I get behind the PayPal firewall, sorry I don't want to spend My SAME MONEY twice. So here I set waiting for the Credit.

OK, I vented enough.

Have a Great Day,

Bill

Barrist

I'm not sure why I don't just go with my gut, and order from Zip 1st.
Ordered today, parts on the way.



A little clean-up, and the fronts are done.



Have a Great Day,

Bill

New brakes look great! I just found your thread, you have done beautiful work on your Vette.

Barrist

Its been a Very Busy Spring, now well into summer.
But at least the parking brakes, finally got Completed...........




Even the rear cable was shot.



But, Hey, They are ALL Back Together Again !

Barrist

Well, another Year coming to an End. Got a big box from Zip a couple of weeks ago, front bushings, ball joints, 4 shocks, etc.......
So Spring is Planned.

Just wanted to stop by and Wish All a Merry Christmas !

And Have a Safe New Year,

Bill & Sherl
