If the weather cooperates and the tires hold air, I’ll be moving old cars this Saturday morning with the help of family. Between now and then, I need to make sure the all the stuff that’s in the way is moved. That includes boards, car-top carrier, and homemade sandblast cabinet that are piled on top of the car; the wheels sitting on the hood; and the partial Corvair front end, wheelbarrow, garden-cart, and compost drum blocking the car’s pathway to freedom.
Last weekend the lovely Loriann and I tore out the cabinets from our old kitchen. Since we plan on re-using some of them, they went into the garage for temporary, safe storage. Now I don’t have room for the LeMans, so Plan B is being implemented. The new plan has the LeMans taking up residence in the portable garage – front end facing out. The Corvair will go back where the LeMans came from – buried and forgotten until the LeMans is done. For the time being, the garage will be used as a rebuild area. Starting with the engine and transmission and moving to fenders, hood, doors and trunk-lid. As pieces get finished, they’ll be protected and stored in a corner.
For years I’ve been watching, with great enjoyment, YouTube videos of regular people working on their cars, and I’ve decided I’d like to try my hand at creating a video documentary of the working on the LeMans. I’ve bought a tripod and am trying to figure out how to connect my Handycam to a computer or tablet. Two cameras (Handycam and phone) seem to be a good way to go. We’ll see how that experiment goes.
