Hello, My Vette has been running well for the summer so far until this morning. I jumped in, pumped the pedal and started her like usual. This time though when I turned the key, the idle was WAY too fast! So i let her run figuring "what the hell, why not." Well, 8 hours later I have still been...

Great idea about insulating the car! I have so far completed the driverside, and doing the passenger side after I get out of work tomarrow. This is moving along very smoothly! Thanks for all your help guys :D I will post some pics of the interior when she's nice and clean!

Now the Fun begins! Got the seats out without any cutting! :beer Now its time to go out and get some carpet and put it in, possibly replace or fix the seats. The parking brake console is pretty much destroyed so it needs a replace. Also i have been toying with the idea of Z06 seats in the old...

I have recently acquired a 1974 vette looking good on the outside but the interior is a mess. I really want to rehab the interior but I am at aloss getting the seats out. Access to the bolts is tough as you all know and mine are so rusted cutting appears the only option. Anyone know of a...
