1967 Corvette Coupe L79 4 speed C60 A/C

I am getting busy on the yellow 67 this week. I sent in the photos and information to Al Grenning (CCAS). The trailering arms have been sent out for rebuilding (the bushings were far beyond junk), I replaced the cheap plastic throw out bearing they provide with so many clutches (noisy), and this morning is steam cleaning.

Thankfully a storm passed through last night and changed the temps from the 90's into the low 60's.


I also went to push the u joints out of the half shafts. They were not being cooperative, so I soaked them in Evaporust. When I went to flip them over this morning, I found some inspection marks

Work in progress looks great.
Yeah, that weather was horrible, hot southern wind at 20-30 mph along with tropical humidity. I cut the back yard grass before noon and then hibernated in the house the rest of the day...

Wow thats a heck of a temperature change in just a few hours. At my place this morning at 6:30 EST the humidity reading was 94%. Hot n Muggy in central Ky..

Here are some progress pics as of this afternoon. I have plenty of parts to clean up yet. The added bonus was I sliced my left thumb pretty good this morning, trying to change out the half shaft joints. I'll spare you that pic. I friend of mine that has a shop locally will handle the u joints for me. The trailering arms are supposed to be back this afternoon. Depending on how my thumb is doing, I may get those installed tomorrow. Probably smart to wait until Monday though.......




I was able to uncover some of the shim marks

Hope your thumb heals quickly, Tim!

It will heal faster if he doesn't keep aggravating it every day... says the guy who came home from urgent care with 6 stitches in the web between the thumb and first finger, and went right back to the project that ripped it open.
