The adventure begins...

...or misadventure....as it may just turn out to be. First off, let's establish a little time line of events thus far:

Tuesday June 19: ebay auction won w/ BIN, invoiced and paid for ($380 with shipping)
Friday June 22nd: They actually ackowledged me with a electronic shipping notice
Tuesday July 3rd: it finally arrived.

Ugh. Lots of work to bring this Corvette back from near death. All was fine (and as expected) till I saw the damaged truss rod.



Here's a link to the whole album as it arived and was torn down & inspected. Eventually I figure out how to imbed these:


`61 Corvette arrives and teardown 7/4/07 3:25 PM


So...talking it over with seller, documenting problem, researching options locally and on the net. Good chance it'll get solved with a sharpened butter knife and a steam iron...

More soon
