    To hear Alice saying it needs a four speed was the best! You guys making sure she got to see the car again was a total class act. Keep putting out the great content. You guys ROCK! Hopefully we get to see more of the Vette

    One thing you need to keep in mind with the car is thieves and car jackers that want it more than you! It’s a high value car and will definitely get attention.

    @AlvinBrinson 15 днів тому +23

    UPS and FedEx have the attitude that they owe you absolutely nothing as a customer. You should be happy if your stuff gets there and shut the hell up if it doesn't. Absolutely no shame and no sense of responsibility.

    • @wonkydonkey7899
      @wonkydonkey7899 13 днів тому +1

      I’ve heard bad news about UPS and FedEx stealing expensive shipments. There’s a possibility a package handler or driver saw what’s inside the package.
      Next time have your expensive package insured so you could at least get a reimbursement if it gets lost.

    This was really cool getting to watch. I grew up in my Dad’s chrome bumper Vettes, including a 65 coupe which had those same side pipes. I have a 55,70,72 vette; all are projects, as well as a 70 Mustang. It’s inspiring to see it sit and then transition rather quickly to a driving car. It really makes me want to get back out to my stalled projects.

    As any good surfboard or boat builder will tell you,,, never use bonds on a corvette! Or any fiberglass. Use gelcoat and fiberglass matting to correct lowspots, wear a lev 3 respirator and full body coverage suit ( paint suit or hazmat) and carefully mix and apply your gel coat letting it flow out like paint, then sand after curing. Repeat untill the desired smoothness is achieved. This Corvette is a historical piece, please do not use bonds on it!

    @davidetchellsetchells4692 15 днів тому +2

    On topic of that $800 master cylinder, as a rule I've found that rebuilding the master cyl is your best bet, getcha a brake cyl hone, and a rebuild kit ( new rubber plungers n washers, can o brakekleen, dismount the master, clamp it in the vice very carefully and disassemble, clean, hone, clean, and reassemble with internal parts lubed up with brake fluid. Right?
    It's how I've done it for 50 years, I've found that many vintage parts are superior to modern parts as far as the quality of castings, robust builds, and because it's origional it fits like it should.
    Having an assortment of brake cyl hones will save you tons of money, and save vintage castings from being erased from existence.
    For example, the brake cyls on my 1964 mercury marauder are made by Lockheed!
    As far as I know , that's an aerospace technology company even back then, the parts had extensive design time put into it, millions of dollars in development, and back then we had " real engineers and machinists" made in USA actually meant something, it meant " the highest quality in the world".

    Great story ! By the way when painting and priming go from one side ALL the way to the other . Big long strokes . So like all the way from the rear of the door to the front of the door. And don't stop at gaps such as door gaps . I try to paint half the side of a car with one step then I go to the next half . Looking forward to the next vid !🍀
