smokin george Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I thought I'd pull the carb off the Vette and do an autopsy on it lol. I ordered a new carb and a few other parts from the speed shop and still waiting for a gas tank and all the components, complete brakes and the the interior carpets. The cheapest part was a new fuel pump lol 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the snow, we are 2-3 weeks ahead of normal here. The trees are already budding and it isn't even May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racinfarmer Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Getting ready for a super shitty day at work tomorrow, decided to go for the first bike ride of the year to clear my mind. 10 miles of hills and single track may have been a bit much. Probably whiskey before bed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckf Posted April 24, 2021 Author Share Posted April 24, 2021 I was able to get the new drone up tonight for the first time. I should have skipped the updating because it was well after sunset by the time I got it in the sky. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin george Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 We are on the home stretch now and the closing date is May 4th for my brother's house. The wife and I worked our asses off for a couple months,3 dumpsters and a ton of fires burning anything we could to clean the house out. We had it listed Mar 31st and had an offer of $22K over asking and accepted it. It's a rural old house 3413 sq ft with 4.77 acres and needs TLC . It'll be a big relief when we are done with probate,the tax man, lawyers etc etc . It was quite the ordeal and wouldn't wish it upon anyone trying to settle an estate when there's no will made out. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can deploy this mini in 30 seconds and get great shots. capture from the video above. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been there done that. My mil had a lakefront house filled with 60 years worth of stuff. We wanted to clean it when my fil passed in 07 but mil said no as everything had sentimental value. When my mil passed in 2019 we got a huge dumpster and filled it and it took a while. My sil and BIL decided they wanted to buy it but had to sell their home first. They way overpriced it and after reducing the price a few times to where I told them to start it finally sold after a year. It took a while to negotiate a price and we had a independent appraiser do an appraisal. Of course the value went up after a year and we had another one done and it came in 50k higher. Negotiating that with the sil and BIL didn’t go so smooth. We finally closed last fall.....what a pain in the ass. Fortunately we talked my mil into doing a trust years before. I had to do the same with my moms in 08 what a pain in the ass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin george Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I put the new carb on today,filled up my makeshift gas jug, squirted some in the carb and fired it up. I'm not doing any tweaks to the carb till I get the new gas tank/lines,plugs, HEI distributor/wires, vaccum lines etc installed. I'm amazed I remember how to do some of this stuff as it's been a very long time. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm amazed I remember how to do some of this stuff as it's been a very long time. Simpler times for sure. I sometimes wonder how much I'd remember if I went back to a muscle car as a toy. Think I still have my timing gun and a bunch of Holley jets packed somewhere. 3 hours ago, ckf said: Short video from the new drone. Nicely done, Crocky! A beautiful area.
