Time to call the guy, Frank. Life is too short.

I pulled the battery out of my '61 today....got 8 years out of it, so no complaints. I can tell you, it was a LOT lighter 8 years ago. What a crappy place for a battery. Still able to manhandle it out, with no 'go handle' even.

That's a cakewalk - trust me, the two worst jobs on the 1st gen vettes is a windshield replacement with re-strapping the cables on the windshield washer under dash pulleys being a close second. I'd rather pull an enigne.

I agree. Pulling the engine on my '61 is about a 40 minute deal. Not even tough. Front mount makes it a snap. The ONLY advantage of the damn thing!
