<VV> Corvette Arises From the Dead (No Corvair)

Fri Jun 15 18:07:07 EDT 2007

Smitty Says:Maybe 10 years ago a supermarket owner in Bath Maine broke down a wall inside his store where he had encapsuled a 54 Corvette.  Other than being pretty dusty and having very yellow whitewalls it came out in fine shape.  We should all have that kind of money and foresight.

Greg,

All '65 buckets are the same - does not have to be from a vert. The '66 are 
the same in the frame as the '65s. I've got a '65 bucket here (buried), 
will need new buns and skins - which you already plan to do. Don't recall 
if driver or passenger side at the moment. But, you should be able to find 
something closer to you anyway.

Some weeks ago I inquired about a problem with the headlight switch breaker going off when the halogen headlights were on high beam. About five list members responded (Thank you all!) with the suggestion that the best solution would be to run a separate high amp wire just for the headlights. Since I already have wire and Bosch relays, I'll do that, so the question of the moment to those who've already done it is: What is the best routing for this wire in an early (wagon)? And, where/how did you run it into the trunk? Hopefully I can minimize my mistakes with this knowledge.

Already risen and on a trailer.

Looks like they didn't take as much care in "canning" it as they 
should have... looks pretty rough. I'd have hoped it would come 
out in better shape.

Yesterday, I saw the coolest air compressor ever! The owner said that the tank came from some railroad application. It was about 8 feet in diameter and 20 feet long. It was fed by a little homemade single cylinder compressor driven by a windmill. Compressor feeds the tank 24 hours a day as long as there's wind. The guy was a little vague about how long it takes to fill the tank.

Tap into a good 12 volt supply at the Horn relay.

And probably a non-ASME tank about 80 years old and when it blows, it'll fly 
for miles!

That's cause after 20 years, it's still not full.

J.B.,
That certainly is a MASSIVE air tank. However, air storage has 2 
components - volume and pressure. If the compressor driven by the windmill can 
only provide 20 psig pressure (for example) that means you're limited on what 
you can do even with that massive volume of air. If the guy has that much wind 
he might be better off investing in a wind-driven electric generator to help 
cut his electric bill or even to allow him to operate his electrical system 
off the electric power network. Some places even allow you to spin your 
electric meter BACKWARDS if you're providing more electric power than you're 
using at the moment.
But I digress.....

Yes, - I wrote that last night and it sat in my "outbox" until late this
morning when it got sent.

I don't think they knew as much about the deleterious effects of age at that
time, or just didn't think it would matter ? Seems it might take its toll
on the poor car though.

Anyone have a link to its exhumation ?
