Thanks Alan, I did find 2 yellow wires that were clipped right next to a harness.
Alan, at least this is getting my wires cleaned up! Lol. Im going through them all and redoing them, and zip tying them up.
Now if I can get the alternator out of the way before I go to work tomorrow night, ill count this 6 days off a success!
Then im off to tackle the power steering......following your list! Lol!

If you get carried away Alan, let me know and I can take pitcures of my charging system and post them. I had really good inetentions of of doing some more work on Ka'Bluey today. But not near as much as I had visioned. Tomorrow is another day, but I did get into Springfield and bought soem more filler, and a new disc for my D/A sander.

Up and somewhat accounted for. Waiting on two different phone calls from two different buddies. #1. I go fishing, and I'm more than ready for a boat ride, and pull some fishy's head off setting a good hook. #2.Another buddy just had his righ rotator cuff worked on/surgary, everything was torn. He can't drive for 6 more weeks, and last night had the hi bid on an inclosed trailor, on e-pay. It's in Fenton Mo, south of St' Louis.....
But what I need to be doing, is what I probably won't be hear to do.... Work on Ka'Bluey, unless everything just falls apart.
First cup is going down nicely....

In a nutshell - do you have the money to replace his 'Vette should anything happen?

Good Morning Everybody!
Bob, at least you got the holes filled from the visor yesterday. I went to use my welder after you left and I know why you were having trouble. I don't ever have my welder set that low unless I'm trying to fill a 1" hole in a soda can. Holler if'n ya' need a hand with something today.
Tom, Yup, I do exhaust too. I won't be as cheap as some of the muffler shops, but the pipes will be nicer. (with no kinks) Here's a set of tail pipes I did on a '69 Camaro.

Alan, your pipe layout looks so much better than what was stuck on there before.
We got the bumper fit to the GTX last night and tonight should have the grille installed and the passenger door glass regulator installed and adjusted. The body shop he paid to do the work initially had it all screwed up and he paid them 8 grand to do such crappy work. Hopefully once he gets the mechanical bugs worked out fo it, me and Parrish can have it for a week to fix all the nicks in the door openings from the prior shop not even aligning the doors right. We also need to pull the hood and trunk to repaint and clear the undersides. No wonder people like me and Alan stay booked. Being picky does count in work like this and I know I'm nowhere near as good as several local guys.

For you coffee guys, I work nights and my squad meets most nights at Classic Rock Coffee on Kansas expressway and sunset (behind gas station) , and im tellin ya for coffee, that place rocks (no pun intended) 2 bucks and all the house coffee you can drink. My favorite is Back in Black, 3 cups of that and 1 cup of After Midnight, and its smooth sailing for me till I get off at 0700! They sell the coffee you can make at the house too. I had 6 days off and miss the stuff, so I may go that route too! This isnt a commercial and I dont own the place, but I wouldnt mind owning one!
Just an idea for those in town if your near. Jeff

Ches - for what it's worth, I would take the Jeep. Taking a customer's car, especially a 'Vette on a road trip out of state is just asking for trouble. If anything should go wrong, you would not only be liable for the repairs but you could compromise the relationship with your customer. Something simple as a speeding ticket gets tricky when you are driving someone else's car whose insurance might not cover you.
In a nutshell - do you have the money to replace his 'Vette should anything happen?

Speaking of work I'm out on sales calls right now! Not sure how I ended up in my easy chair by my PC at home.
