Bromley's Corvettes Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Just finished some brake work and fuel pump and oil leaks on a clean 75 vert. It has a really nice custom paint job:) Its a 350c.i 4-speed black interior. The customer has owned the car sense it was new:) He has put 200k miles on it and its still running good. Could use to fressen up some things but over all still runs and drives well for the miles. You would never guess it has 200k on it:) I have worked on vettes with only 50k on them in really bad shape.

Bromley's Corvettes Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Customer just had some brake work done at a big shop out of state. It was having some problems soft peddle and making some noise. They left the cotter pin out of the brake pad pin or what ever they used other then a cotter pin fell out. The pads where grinding into the rotor and caliper. Messed up a new caliper and rotor and pads and could have been a problem if it made caliper leak real bad.

Desertdawg Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Oh, and since your asking.. the sign over your garage door is crooked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bromley's Corvettes Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 LOL I was just talking about the new sign:) Does it really look a little crooked? I think the left side dropped down a little while I was screwing it in. Good time hanging on a latter holding a 3 foot by 8 foot sign in the wind and a drill and screw driver and hammer and level lol. I needed about 2 more hands:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desertdawg Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 The 82CE color was called silverbiege. And I can't tell if your sign is really crooked or not, but it's funny you were worried about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bromley's Corvettes Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 LOL I am kinda freak about things being crooked so I was worried my eyes may not be as good anymore. I wanted to no if it looked ok to you. I would of had to fix it if it was crooked or I would not be able to sleep at night lol. I line up bolt heads on vettes and wire wheel factory hard wear and then go back and clear coat them so no tool marks lol. I think I have a little OCD lol. I also spray out my sockets with brake cleaner so no grease or dirt gets on the new bolts lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
