Don't throw away any containers (cans, jars, etc) without checking what's in them. We found a couple $$$$ thou my grandfather had stashed in his shed. We took it all to grandma.

I have a spare frame sitting in the garage. Could have saved you some work. Now if you can come up with an easy way to put the bottom seal on the frame, you could make a LOT of money. :thumbup:

Sounds like my grandmother's kitchen. :wtf:

I salute weathertech for making the effort to manufacture in the US :thumbup: One thing I notice is the CEO states that a lot of their material is made in the US, but is it a US manufacturer? I guess I'd rather have a Nissan forklift made in the US than a Clark made in China. (Please not this...

I agree but tend more towards the absolute ****. I bought a paint gun there that did a great job on most of my MGB paint project, but unfortunately one of their inline air dryers was a complet POS and caused many hours of rework. The disposables you buy there (sandpaper and other abrasives are...

I have the 3 hp IR 60 gallon compressor. No problems in 4 years.

Two vettes here, I have a 68 convertable and an 08 coupe. The 70 looks real nice, looks like it's been sitting a while but it should clean up nicely. Check the frame and birdcage for rust! How are you going to use it? Cruise ins, shows, Sunday afternoon drives - go with a the C3. A nice...

Another NKY guy checking in here (Verona) All I can say is AWESOME garage build. What other toys are going in there besides the GTP?

I'm in NKY too! Any chance of having a tour for GJ members before you go too far in the remodel? You might get some free labor out of it. :drool:

I've never had a problem just picking the bucket up to move it around. :dunno:

Been there, got a tee shirt.:beer: The place is amazing! Most of the cars are Corvettes and Camaros. As a 'vette guy, seeing almost every year of C1 - C3's was unbelievable, especially seeing a couple big block midyears sitting there. :drool: If you're ever in Punta Gorda it is a MUST SEE.

LOL, I did need to temporarily turn in my man card. I guess that's why I've managed to stay married for 30 years.

I wanted a Corvette since I was in high school. After 30 years of marriage the Mrs finally said yes and I ended up buying a '68. In spite of what SOME people might say, It's a blast to drive, fairly inexpensive to maintain and gets 18 mpg. I can work on most anything on it. If you want a...

I plan on using 1" foam 4x8 sheets on mine, it has a reflective (silver) surface. My trusses are 4' oc, I don't plan on putting in any furring strips to support it. My eave height is 14', I don't think a lot of insulation would do me any good.

Pics of the garage and none of the hot receptionist?
