... and I saw that crack too, but couldn't see it in any 'early' snappics...

There's another $million$ there too - an extension from the shovel's handle that 'T's, into an armrest. The end of the shovel CAN'T be too comfy on the pit (or the fore-arm).



Might be a hard sell to the boss tho'....

In the meantime, they could have a small scaffold bridge with a couple guys suspended, with excavator's vacuums drawing off dirt, until they're ready to latch onto the cars.

Hey Schrade, how did you get a picture of the guys outside? I thought the only webcam was inside the museum.

I think there is a beautiful 62' under there holding up that section of floor.

Hey, give them a break. I mastered the art of leaning on a shovel like that while I was working on the maintenance crew in college. It takes great skill to balance just enough weight on it to relieve the limp leg and yet not fall over. Blame for lingering is invariably the fault of management
There is probably no plan yet. Folks are gathered in a think tank (bar) hashing it over

Some guy is shining his light in the hole.
I can't believe how little activity there is there. Must be engineers involved.

Any thoughts on this from the directors?

I'm in for a donation when the time comes

Are you kidding?? I would be proud to own either one. The LS-9 has a couple of more hundred horses than the (ZR-1) but who's counting. I guess it should be pronounced (zr-dash-1) if we need to be so correct. So this is the zr-dash-1 net registry now. After looking at the cars I think I would take the (zr1) car instead since it is completely intact and not mess with the zr-dash-1 that is almost totally swallowed up by the sink hole.

I think we're all pretty much in agreement to support the NCM in this time of need. As a matter of fact, the subject was informally discussed "out in the hallway", prior to a BOD meeting a day or so after it happened. And, I believe there may be a proposal along those lines in the Members Only section of the Forum in coming days/weeks.

And, since it is the members money, any member is welcome to open a discussion - perhaps in the Members Only section to discuss ideas. In the mean time, I believe the Corvette community at large is still waiting to hear exactly what we can do to best assist the NCM.

Why would this be posted in THE MEMBERS ONLY section?Seems to me this idea could use as much exposure as possible,meaning anybody could see it.You guys amaze the piss out of me,ya really do.Ill make my donation directly to the Museum.
