Many thanks to Tom73,67 and Mike,as well as everyone else who posted a reply. Mike,I am going to purchase the 80-82 handbook from the NCRS site,might even join. That said, my next step will be to find out when there is a judging close to my area. CT. Didnt really find what i was looking...

Hey Zachh, my thoughts exactly. Like i said,this guy dosent have a clue,most of the people that i know or that come over,when first seeing the vette,exclaim something like You ^&**( SOB, but meaning it in a good sort of friendly,maybe a little, jealous way. But with that one exception...

Hard to believe (at least for me anyway) that there are really people out there that do not instantly recoginize a c3 shark. But evidently there are. I have met one. This past summer freinds of ours stopped over the house for a cookout and some cold ones. The husband of the friend...

The motor looks great John.

Any NCRS members or judges out there? Ive had several people at shows mention to me that I should have my 81 NCRS judged as it is in excellent shape for a 81. But I do not think that the my car would be NCRS ready,for these reasons. The paint is original and as new, BUT the mufflers...

Hey Nut, many thanks to you, also I like your sig. I too am a fellow firearm "enthusiast",as well as collector,NRA instructor, and competitive (these days when i can find the time) shooter. :beer Later, Ken

Thanks Elaine, Wish I had known then that you were there. Would of introduced myself. Maybe I can look you up this year at Carlisle, Ken

here is a better shot:

Hi all, I took this photo this past October at a all corvette show,in Rocky Hill CT. Lot of nice c3's there,but the c5's were in the majority,that day. My 81 is all original,paint and mechanical, 42k on the odometer. EXCEPT for new Clarion stereo, and Alpine speakers,and Dynomax...

As always, before I make any decision on changing something on my 81,I like to consult the forum. I was contemplating putting on a set (4) of the chrome wheel cones with the crossflags cap (they cover the lug nuts), and possibly using them in conjunction with the optional straight spinners...

I too agree, snow sucks, We have been real fortunate this year in Northern Ct. Only one snowfall so far,and that was only an inch the other night,and now it is gone. I had my 81 out only 2 weekends ago for a ride,and might again tomorow as the roads are dry. later, Ken

Sounds great Gerry, Plus you have the benefit of a almost "stock" engine, In keeping with the originality. Did you do the the work youself,primarily a hotter cam? Also how is the "seat of the pants" difference? Now you have me thinking..... Enjoy, and sit back with a nice...

heres one of mine Bud.

Congrats on the 79,you will never be the same again. I also did go into the garage several times after i purchased my 81 to see if I wasnt dreaming. This upcoming year, when the weather turns nice,try to get to some of the cruise nights,and/or car shows in your area,even if your vette...

Many thanks again Chas, I just went on MA's website and ordered 2 of em f/9.99 both. They also include a online illustration,with instructions,and it is just like you said. Should make a difference on mine,as the handle works fine but just started to droop a bit. Later, Ken

Chas, I think i saw that $10 tool in the MA catalog also. Seemed to easy, Do you really just have to insert it the outer handle,or still take the inside panel apart. Ken

I guess this common on our c3's. How do you change the outside door handle and/or spring on a 81. My drivers side outside latch spring is not as tight as it should be. The door opens and closes normally,but the outside hanle dosent retract or close all the way. As always, thanks...

Bud, Glad to be of assistance. I probably spent a good hour or so just BS'ing with him about stuff in general on the phone,real down to earth guy,one whom that after talking with him,you feel like you have known him for a long time. That,in addition to the nice work that he does...
