Finally got the pics off my phone.
The first pics is the car on the trailer behind the truck. We are at Hooters then, but the restaurant is behind me.
The rest of the pics are from various angles under the car so that you can see how the chains are hooked to the car. The car rode very well without issue. We had one little issue when we went to unload it. The chain on the right front had gotten wedged in the spring on the control arm. We had to jack it up to remove the pressure and then take a pry bar and pop it out. No big deal, no damage done. Sure did get the F-I-L worked up though. I told you you were tightening it too tight. I told him, no I wasn't. You gotta remember, this is the same guy that bought a new riding lawn mower and put it in his trailer and hauled it home by 1 yes 1 piece of old small rope tied around the stearing wheel and no tailgate or anything on the trailer. I told him to take a look at the pros and notice how those cars are pulled down, they do it for a reason and it isn't because they like the sound the chain makes when they flip it.
The car looks good from far, but far from good
He mentioned some road chips, unfortunately, these are more than road chips and there are enough of them on different panels that he will probably end up having to have the whole car painted.
The good: The interior looks very, very nice. Haven't driven it on the road yet. He didn't test drive it. Not sure why. I would've. Maybe he figured he was already committed to it by that point with the money already spent, why bother. Started very easy when we got it home. It was 22 degrees last night and it turned over 4 or 5 times and fired right up and sat there and idled really nice. I was afraid it wouldn't do that when he said, he wasn't sure how it would do since it had never been in the cold. I was thinking, uh oh, no choke. Looks like most (all?) front end parts have been replace fairly recently. No obvious signs of frame damage. Underneath and the fender wells are incredibly smooth and clean.
The bad: The previosly mentioned paint chips. I saw the one on the corner on the pics, but you couldn't see the front point is a bit messed up and there are several odds and ends places. Probably a complete repaint. The driver's door hinge is worn a good bit and allows the door to drop down. I said it may be able to be solved by replacing the pin and bushing, hopefully it isn't the hinge itself, those look to be welded in place. The right headlight didn't come up but about an inch or so. The right rear taillights aren't working right. The inside one isn't working at all, but the left has a taillight, but no brake light (and the taillight goes out). Could be from getting bounced around on the trailer, but could be a minor/major fix as well. A couple minor antifreeze leaks. Look like they are coming from hoses, but couldn't tell last night. It was dark and did I mention it was cold at that point and we were getting really tired?
Now the really bad, the battery was dead when we got home. He mentioned if you didn't disconnect the battery, like all Vettes, it would drain them. I didn't by that part, but it does drain it. I'm guess either the alarm or the strereo is hooked up incorrectly. I'm guessing stereo. It has a couple of amps and 2 12" subs - which I haven't found yet. Haven't looked at it much really. So we had to put the battery charger on it to get it off the trailer.
Overall, he is happy. Gotta remember it is a 36 year old car. It isn't going to perfect. It will give him something to tinker with that is fun besides sitting around worrying about his hand.
