Working on the 74..... - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Roadster · 05-10-2017

Well had a slight complication with the lower control arms, being I did not like the way the new bushings were going in. The top arms are a breeze, the bottoms have to go through two holes on each end. If not lined up correctly, it could present a problem. I sent them out and all is well. They are on the shelf ready for installation.

Completed another job today and that was removal of the heater box w/core. Although this job was performed by a "Vette" shop before I purchased the car, the bolts were not torqued down completely. Just some real sloppy work.
Now to get the core pressure tested along with the original unit, which did have a small pin size leak. Hopefully the original can be repaired...

Job completed...

Loaded and ready to come home for repairs and a real good cleaning....
