Thanks for the information herb....I haven't done anything for seats yet ....just surveying my options. I had heard of the wise guy seats, just hadn't seen them. I have the original seats for this rolling basket case, they just seem a bit hard...and was wondering what the alternate...
Hello again John..
Thanks for the post of the pics. Mighty fine stuff if you ask me...I don't mind the seam at all. Looks great properly done.....love that soft leather look. I wouldn't be happy with a dye job, they don't hold up to suit me.....used to do them a lot back when I was rebuilding...
I keep seeing references to wise guy seats that some builders are using in there cars...What are and where can I get some information and pricing on them.
Another thing I am curious is whether there is a source for custom c1 dash pads...in different colors than stock....like bone leather for...
Thanks John....for the mounting information, I was wondering about that. I haven't decided on auto or stick yet......I had a lot of Muncies in the old days, luved 'em....but nothing but auto's since ...even in the hot rods. So I haven't driven one of the six speeds....decisions, decisions...
Thanks John...
Appreciate the input. You don't have the Engine assy. part number do you.. I can't seem to get a new GM Hi-Perf catalogue ..they can't keep them in stock it seems.....
I'd like to know what all comes with it..
Thanks ...Stan
Okaaay.......Well that's do it this way...
Money no real factor...just similar pricing. If you had a choice...what engine is the favorite. Crate FI 350 , Crate stroked 383.., LT 1..., Other......(no vipers etc)
Thanks John Z....
This frame has been cut (back halfed) so a new x-member is not out of the question.....probabably going to change the suspension anyway.
Just don't know zilch about anything in the later Corvettes....or what is popular.
What is the consensus regarding a '92 Corvette engine (LT1 I believe) and the same vintage ZF 6 speed trans for a C1 that is not a restoration candidate. I know very little about the later model Corvette engines and transmissions.
...or is there another model Corvette drive line that would be...
Thanks John...
I imagine these vettes have heat issues too. That looks real good on the Cobra. Is Thermo Tec similar to Dynamat....I'm not familar with either one ...at least by that name. I'm assuming it is an insulator too...?? Who is a supplier...
Texas is hot..so I have wondering...
Hey John Z..
Where do you get the foil faced fiber underlayment the article mentioned.
Where do you get dynamat for that matter?
....and last to anyone who has used the dynamat..what do you think about it? Worth the effort on a C1?
Regarding the glue issue for other...
Thanks to all for the pics and information. Special thanks to John McGraw who was kind enough to send me some dimensions of his rotisserie, which I will probably build....unless the lead Rich gave me works out.
Thanks Rich...I will call Mr Keisler about his rotisserie Monday, It really...
Sorry...I thought that the tires would rub on the body with a stock suspension if they were wider tires than stock. I had seen several references to that on the forum I thought....maybe they were talking about rubbing on the frame....
Since the tires and wheels you guys are running are a lot...
Good attitude on both your cars guys...
I take it there are no fender rubbing issues on the front of either of your cars? Is the front tracking width narrower than stock on those chassis?
Stan
Well... it's clear to see that the forum majority favors the C4 set up. I was hoping some one had tried the Meyer set up with a 4 link just for their 2cents worth too. Must be a reason for that..I guess it's not really a consideration...to anyone that has actually made a choice.
What about the...
Thank you gentlemen...Looking forward to the information.
If I'm gona' do this thing I may as well settle in for the long term....Besides that I'm with John...I'm gettin too old to be laying on a creeper and get crap in my face. Getting up off that thing is not as easy as it used to be...
Curious to know what the forum thinks about the need for a rotisserie when doing a rebuild on a C1. Are they worth the time and expense for a frame off...or?
If it really is a needed item...which I imagine it is. Does any one have any simple plans to build a decent one...or better yet have...
