December 18th 1999
The car is off the ground with jack stands on the four jack points. The wheels are all removed and three of the tires have been unmounted so I can repair the wheel leaks. I can't find the O-rings any more, Gotti went out of business about ten years ago. I think non-corosive silicone will do the job. I am going to try to save them because they are period for the car and because of the tire size. I have a 5% ratio advantage over stock tire diameter.
After Our trip to Auburn it was time to lay up the old leaker (don't worry I still love the car and won't sell). This image was taken right before the fender covers and wrenches hit the engine compartment.
First thing to go is the spider and legs. I am hoping to do a sand and polish. Then maybe anodize the spider. Has anyone else done the anodize thing on these parts?
Now it is getting scary. I am going through a tremendous amount of paper towel!
