#ProjectSR76 Electrical Episode 1 Intro and Tach

Let me start with this:

I HATE ELECTRICAL WORK.  I really didn’t pay attention in Shop class (yes I’m that old) nor in 4H when we made lamps.   Plus I had a few mishaps during several attempts to repair things.  Once I was drilling a hole with an electric drill in a an aluminum door and hit a wire hidden by the previous home in the frame.  The drill bit exploded and I fell off the ladder and my drill fried.  Add that to a few fried wires,  radios and computer boards during failed attempts at soldering and you’ll get a well rounded picture of my electrical wheelhouse.  Oh, toss in the fact that I’m colored blind and well…you get it.

I’ve a bit better experience with cars, but not enough to be comfortable.

#ProjectSR76 Got A Spare?

We took a look at the spare tire on #ProjectSR76 and determined it might be on an original wheel but it was a 2003 or 1995 tire.   Of course that tire need to go but the damage on rim makes it useless.  So I’ve opted to go with out a spare, not unusual, as  Corvettes these days don’t come with them,  my C6 had no spare.

In this video I’m removing the bottom part of the clam shell.
