Hi, I have a 62, I had the front glass frame restored a few years ago but am only just getting to the door posts. I live in Australia and just had them rechromed, it was a bad job. I am traveling to KY next week for 3 weeks, can anyone recommend someone who can restore them properly while im in...

Hi, Could anyone recommend someone that knows what they are doing to fit a new Soft top to my '62. The car is in Danville Kentucky, so somewhere close would be good. I have purchased the Soft Top from Al Knock already. Michael

Thankyou so much for you input. Ive seen Glassworks videos on Youtube and like what I see. Id love to see some pics of your '62. Email me if you dont mind on bourbon@internode.on.net

My '62 has not made it to Australia yet, its still in Kentucky. Im nearly finished my '66, its come up great, ready for paint now, I got 530hp on the dyno last week. I was getting the work done that I did not think could be done well in Australia, which is the pot metal chrome, stainless repair...

This price was for a full restoration of the entire front windshield. I think its worth it as I could not do it for that price. My stainless is dented and posts pitted. I think it best to leave this to the pro's in my case. I thought the windshield price was ok, but the door posts for $350ea...

Thanks for the info, Im OK to pay the money as long as it is my best option. I have bought too many things in the past only to find them a week or so later at nearly half the price. Is there a clear winner out of the two options ?? Michael

Hi Everyone, I have just purchased a '62 so my '66 coupe is no longer lonely. I need to get my windshield and door posts restored. Glassworks the Hardtop shop wants $2200 to do the entire windshield with new glass and $350 for each door post. Are these guys the only option out there, and if so...

Thanks for you thoughts. I spent all last night tring to get some sort of symetry with the door to body alignment. Im now convinced it is impossible.

Hi, Does anyone have any tips for aligning and fitting shims to my Coupe doors. I am replaceing my rear quater panels and need the doors refitted and in alignment to get the rear quater right. They were badly out to begin with and had zero shims. I do not have door rubbers, lock or striker...

Thankyou. I dont know ehat I was thinking when I did it. I have counted, bagged and tagged everything else. Here is a video of my chassis on youtube if anyone is interested. YouTube - 66 Corvette Resto-mod/Australia Part1-Chassis

Hi all, I hear it is very cold over there in the USA. In Australia we are having a heat wave 90-100 most days last week. Does anyone have any advise for a foolish person who did not count the shims when he removed his '66 coupe body ??

I have been overwhelmed with the respose and help. Thankyou to Everyone. Michael

Hey, Thanks. I have been lucky enough to find a tyre shop here in Australia that has some. They have offered to sell me one to check if it fits, if not I am able to return it.. By the way, What colour is your '67. Looks good. I am looking for a dark paint colour at the moment and am having no...

I will soldier onin my persuit of wheels. Ill let you know if and when I am sucessfull.

Thanks for the tip. I am led to believe that Torq Thrust D or Torq Thrust 2 wheels will fit. I am yet to confirm this.
