1969 Big Block Corvette Restoration Engine/Transmission Installation 08122017

I spent a really enjoyable day with my friend Carl getting the engine and transmission back in my 1969 Corvette. It want fairly smoothly, but that does not mean that we did not have our challenges. Carl's wife Barbara even came out and helped us for a while. She really knows her way around cars! To top the day off, I had a dead battery when I went to leave (I had left a door open all day). A jump from another did not work and there was some issue with an anti-theft system that would not allow the car to start and kept making the horn honk over and over again. We finally got it and Carl loaned me a battery out of another car to get home. Really dumb move on my part to leave a door open all day. I was an IDIOT!!!
