Any suggestions? I Was thinking of trying Van Steel for my Rear offset trailing arms and rebuild parts for that and still need some misc for the chassis.

I have run into a couple issues with VBandP performance as of late. Most recently I was installing my new Power Rack and pinion upgrade kit. I am working on a Frame off Resto on a 69. I was having a productive day finished installing my front suspension and moved on to the Steering. I started...

Well I guess I am going to take one for the team. I have taken Pictures and maybe will take some more. The Idea I am going try is applying MOD PODGE to the sheet to seal the paper and hopefully give some strength. I am then going to continue with a razor blade scraper to scrape the glue from...

Thanks, yeah I need to by some more reference books, I bought "Catalog of Corvette ID Numbers 1953-1993". I just noticed that some people seemed to be abe tell some more stuff from the series number. How was Vettehead Mikey corresponding the consecutive unit # with dates above? maybe just going...

How do I find production information according to Vin #. I am trying research this, the Trim says Chevrolet P19 which I guess is November 19, 1979. and that is different from what both of us thought. I read the Vin Number to read 194379s736003. Thanks

Thanks I wasn't sure what the code on the build sheet is supposed to say, kind of like the rest of the codes on the build sheet are similar to the listed RPO but vary with extra letters and so forth. I don't have any of the codes on the top half and the bottom is a partial. I was not sure if...

I think the vin # was 194379S736003, it was a little hard to read. I will have to check into the dates and see where he got the date from. Thanks

thanks That is what I am questioning I know you could get about anything you wanted back then. My dad said he had found another car that had an L89 with the same hood and was documented. Everything about the hood looks like it is factory with a functioning scoop. I questioned it also, but...

Thanks for the feed back guys, I could read all the option descriptions on the tank sticker as seen in the pics but some of the codes I could read were a little different than what was listed in the ID number book. I also attached a word document that I typed trying to interpret the data to...

Hey guys, I just bought a 69 coupe and I have the tank stick on the tank I am tring to interpret some stuff and get any info and check some stuff I was told. I have pics of the sheet and a sheet I typed from what I can read. some of the codes match listed RPO and some have the code plus and some...

anybody got any tricks for removing the tank sticker. I recently bought a 69' that I am going to restore. I have the tank out of the car and the build sheet is in ok shape I guess. I would like to preserve it. I am just starting the research part. I beieve it is a L89. My father actually owned...

Thanks for the Info All I have been able to find untill now is stuff like Mid America and Davies. I just ordered a complete set with O-rings from VB&P, that look much better and easier and cheaper.

when I bought my 74 I was Doing routine maintanence it didn't even have a thermostat in it

thanks I read that but seemed like most ppl a discussing the new vettes just checking to see if anyone has had any particular luck with in a set up like mine I haven't had much luck with any of the vettes I have driven, seems like they all get hot especially if I slow Down

I am going to replace the thermostat, maybe use a 160 on my 69 with an L36 engine (the 427 390hp) but rebuilt to about 425 I would like to hear some opinions thanks
