`71 - what else should I look at, check or do while I have the dash
completely gutted?
Pulled dash/console to replace stereo, speakers, ammeter, tach-needle.
and tach/speedo cables. Then I remembered the heater was bypassed
years ago by a previous owner - so took out the heater box under
assumption it was ancient and likely leaked. (not as easy w/ an AC car
and now I see why).
So what else...?
Is it worth having the tach/speedo re-calibrated? AFAIK they were
accurate years ago but both cables gave and one needle and it`s been
stored for quite a while - they are out now and there is a guy locally
that calibrates the magnets. Worth it or leave well enough alone?
It`s an air car - should I get into replacing all the `seals` on the
Rube Goldberg AC flap design system.
What about those speaker `baffles` sold by Crutchfield etc - do they
help clean up bass response on speakers mounted in dash?
Any other GM cars (e.g. a junkyard) have same radio knobs as `69-71
Corvettes? I lost ONE(1) of my orig Tone/Balance inner knobs dangit!
And right now I`m too cheap/poor to spend $20 some bucks on a full set
of knobs to replace a single one.

I`d shut the fuck up and get myself an education before I started trying to
educate others if I were you.
Incidentally you never did explain your theory on the sun having a nitrogen/
helium fusion reaction.

Thought I’d try something a little different for this series of creative images.
I went out to Old Town here in Kissimmee, Florida one night for their Saturday Night Vintage Car Show. Hopefully I’ll get to go back soon — I decided to head out there pretty late, so most of the cars had driven off due to the storms we had roll through earlier that evening. But it was still nice to roam around for an hour or two and get to see what was out there. I hadn’t been in years, so the place has really grown up!
Last Saturday, Sean and I took a day trip to Gatorland. We’ve been wanting to head out there for a while, but they’re currently running a Florida Residents special for $10. Can’t beat that!! So I’ve included those pictures as well. We had such a great time, even though it is STILL a bit too hot here in Florida to not want to curse the sun and heat. Hopefully in the next month or so we’ll get even cooler — then we’ll head out to Disney World!! Woohoo!!
