    interior dye to canada

    The local AC Delco parts/paint shop (Ottawa) mixes it for me (1974 code 425 oxblood). The cost is about $20.00. Works very well.

    Help! Fabric/Canvas T-top cover

    Glen, You jogged my memory. Yes they are AM. At one point I had the sales brochure. I sold that 1979 L-82 to my younger brother in 2003 and he still has those tops. I had fiberglass, smoked glass, and those tops. They were great for shows where the possibility of rain was 60% and showers...

    Help! Fabric/Canvas T-top cover

    These tops were produced in the early 1980s. They were patented. You see them on EBay from time-to-time. I forget the name of the company. They are vinyl not canvas so must be different from the ones in question. Compared to the velcro versions of today they have factory-style mounting...

    My first Corvette! C3!

    I have been driving Corvettes for many years. There are no silly questions. They can be strange challenges when it comes to repair. Just ask questions. Some of us have seen a few things. Having said that don't ask me about a frame-off. I tend to buy cars that are 90% there and just need some...

    Coolant Question

    I do a complete flush every two years. The pre-mixed 50:50 green. Not expensive. Cheap insurance.

    Not much more...I wish you well on your journey! Convertibles are very enjoyable.

    Question: C3 Rear compartment sizing

    (Ignore the subwoofer.) Top down does confine the area somewhat. Assuming top up you are still constrained by the rear deck. But in that circumstance the area is 13 1/2" high, 34" wide, and 26" deep. You have just bought my favourite C3!

    :( My '74 Big Block on Ebay

    Just have a direct bank-to-bank deposit done. Your bank will 'phone and inform you that the money is there. Once there, it's there. Yes, this works Canada to USA and conversely.
