Vette(s): 1980 L-48 still in the middle of a frame-off.

Went to take the car out for some photos and the sound of metal came out instead.  Second start produced very rough idle so I shut her down.  I'm thinking a valve somewhere let loose.

 

I was taking photos to get ready to sell it 😠

 

There must be a pox on my soul.


Corvettes and women are the same...You want to make love to them but they keep breaking down.

Good idea!  I will try that when I get a chance.  Been busy with med issues but still keeps on ticking.
