I discovered where a couple "extra" brackets went that came off my Z somewhere during the disassembly for painting, etc (discovered when removing the same bracket on Ami's new ZR-1 to fix a lazy headlight). But, of course the bolts and screws off my Z were nowhere to be found. I looked and looked, but noddah... Out of frustration I made the 34 mile round trip to the Fastenal store that sells automotive nuts and bolts. Total cost, including gas = $16 and an hour driving time.
Bracket installed and I'm putting everything away. And, as I picked up a rag to wipe off a tool, what should I spy but a little Tupperware tub hidden beneath it that contained...yep...the missing bolts and screws. $16 out the friggin window!
Am I the only one that does this kind a crap? Gotta love it...this Corvette hobby!
