    Greetings from BC Canada HELP A Damsel in Distress

    I had to replace the antenna on one of our vettes, I removed the rear tire and inner wheel fender to get at it. From inside the car it would very hard to reach and install the hardware with one hand because of the limited space. Good Luck & Welcome to CAC

    38 yr old Seats

    A few Corvette vendors have sales at this time of year to re-do interiors, shop around, but as stated already it's not cheap. With these vendor replacement interiors, they are fairly simple to do yourself with excellent results. I have re-done the interior on both my Vettes and found it easy...

    1974 tire options

    There seems to be so many different answer's when it come to years and tire sizes. Our 1972 has 245/60/15 all around without any issues, some say you can even use 255/60/15 on the rear. I went with a size I knew for sure would fit all around. Happy tire hunting

    63 corvette windshield trim

    I'm almost positive they were stainless, most years of Corvettes used it on window trims. But you could check out one of the vendors catalogs see what they sell, as a reference.

    Original color or not?

    I painted one of our C3's with 1987 Corvette Red code #81. Alot of people comment on it's color, saying it's the nicest red they have seen on a C3. Good Luck with your choice. Tjay

    They look much better with trim ring and center caps, just like the standard painted rally rim.

    trans oil leak

    What happen depends where the leak is. Is it from the front / rear of the tranny, might be something as simple as a transmission line. Best you get under and have a look for the source, maybe we can suggest what might have caused the leak. Good Luck

    Question: headlight vacuum

    I can check my 79 vette and see where it might go, if it's at all the same as 78.

    Question: tire sizes on a 79

    401 KVette, You have a great size tire with the 255/60's, you will enjoy the extra tire width on the pavement, plus they fill the wheel well nice. :thumb

    Question: tire sizes on a 79

    73shark, Yes the 295/50's are mounted on aftermarket rims, but with the same back space as stock rims. The 79 is also using the stock trailing arms, I did not have any issue with the parking brake bracket everything cleared. The fronts (265/50/15) also cleared everything even under full turn...
