just plain Cool.

Anyone know what a good sealant to use is on the top of the heater blower box on the firewall so it doesnt leak? I can see a small visible gap under the plenum (despite brand new gaskets) and it will definitely leak if not fixed. I'm sure the original stuff is no longer available. The NCRS...

Fun, But I don't think you will get your money out of it when your done playing. I think it is expensive.

New, the Corvette Restorer magazine articles on CD’s. They were the best, most convenient, and cheapest way to access all the great articles out of past issues of the magazine. Now there’s absolutely no excuse to not have this information in your home Corvette library! They've streamlined the...

Thanks Elusive thats good info. :thumbs: You know something else that sold that was out of this world was that Mercedes Gull wing replica. $240K ish. Here is a pic with that speed vision guy, can't remember his name. ]

This one sold for $70k ish. The restoration was beautiful except; Non correct stuff i saw was; Valve covers on 65's didn't have crack, powder coated intake & valve covers, I am not sure if the master cylinder is correct. The seat belts are not correct, and I thought A/C cars had a vent...

Hey your talking about my bud. He paid $135K for the yellow one last year. Its a good thing he is worth a few bucks.

Thanks, no I am not uncertain about the test. That is exactly what I was looking for. There does not seem to be a exact science on the coil spring issue. I think I just got to do more reading on the subject. Currently, I am engaged in the carburetor being rebuilt by Jerry z28 camaro...

Thanks

How do you tell when the coil springs or ball joints need to be replace? Are there any simple tests?

I am really hoping not to have to paint the whole door. Its original paint, and the car has chips and stuff all over it. A newly painted door would not fit the rest of the paint job.She is 40 years old and showing some age is ok with me. Is it blend able?

I am more of a mechanical and electrical guy, when it comes to paint I am lost. The original owner decided to put a rubber molding on the side of the car in 1976 to "protect" the car. He sanded the paint so it would stick real good. I have removed the molding without loosing any paint, but...

Its not completely broken off.

What do you clean your interior with? The painted metal dash, leather, dashboard, glass instruments, door panels?

Is that paint color year specific? Or is it the same for all years?

Thanks for all the replies I am going to use Jerry MacNeish in the future. I managed to fix the leaking bowl and non working secondaries myself.

My carb has a leak under the rear fuel bowl and it appears to be warped. It also has some, corrosion and needs some replating. I always restore things to original, any recommendations? These guys below offer the service below, anyone use them or hear of experiences...

OK thanks. So this kit I guess is trash. The correct jam nut and screw? I took the one on the right out of the carb, is that not the correct jam nut and screw? You need to buy a real Holley kit. That piece of metal ia baffle and is not needed with the correct kit. Also, you will need...

My rear bowl is leaking and I bought this rebuild kit. When I took the rear bowl off, I noticed the needle valve in the kit is different than the one coming out of my carb. Did I get the wrong kit or is this one of those updated things? In the picture, the one on the left is the new one...
