On C4's, frame flex happens when all of those things are open, not when they are shut tight. What of their lift points were not even, that may cause more harm than good with everything opened. Something was flexed. Chuck M

I really don't get why they want to touch anything on the car except for the wheels. All they are doing is changing tires??? Open doors? Open rear hatch? Remove top? Lift hood? I guess I would like to know why the hood is effected when removing and replacing wheels? Did they mess with...

The rear strut rods are probably shot. I replace those ALL THE TIME. Chuck M

I've always understood "Numbers Matching" to mean matching to the serial number of that car and the production dates of the original parts in that same car when it was manufactored: Engine and transmissions should all reflect the serial number of that car. The rear axle should have the codes...

Forget ONE time to engage the clutch and run over a child. You'll wish you had installed it. Chuck M

No matter how much of a rebel anybody thinks they are, the Police Departments all over the USA are going to balance their budgets on our backs with big fines...be prepared. I won't be surprised if Police are being recognized for their high ticket counts! My town actually has a line item for...

You are ssoo right. How many times do I pull up to a customer with the 78 or 79 and get "boy, we know who's making the money now!" comment. Yet they have a 50K pickup and 4 horse trailer with show horses in the 100K barn etc. ANd here I'm driving in with a 6 to 7K car??? :confused Chuck M

WOW! The wheels really do make a difference on that car. They look great and the car looks menacing :mad ! Chuck M

I have a 78 auto that gets around 18 MPG (3.08) and a 1979 4 speed that can get to 20 MPG (3.55) using the throttle sparingly, babying it to the point it's a contest with myself to best fuel economy. I would really like to put a 5 speed in that one but I can't afford it right now. The 02 6 speed...

Sometimes I'll put on 160 + miles on the days with one of the jobs I do and the gas prices are absolutely killing me! I'm an independent so it's all on me. I am forced to do as much as I can over the phone but I don't like doing that. I like face to face service and support and I can tell in my...

I think alot of the price fixing is done at the local level. How often do we see stations next to each other match prices within a day of each other. There is a small local station that increased their regular gas to $4.14, then within a few days, went to $3.92 and they have a line of cars...

Please make one without the big top emblem. Thanks

Price?

You know people are going to ask for the price! Why not put them in from the beginning? I've never understood that. Chuck M

"tranny mount" Sorry, my bad! :) My mind was in C3 mode. That's what I'm working on. Chuck M

Hi, Let's see, The clutch master cylinder is about 160.00 The clutch, pressure plate, thow out bearing about 250.00 Turning the flywheel is about 25.00 That's 435.00 leaving about 465.00 for labor. They are not going to do this for nothing? I'd like to know what lead them to replace the...

That's what she said...:rotfl sorry, but you left yourself wide open with that one!!! Chuck M

I've had a few C4's and I remember that if they were parked on an uneven surface, it was very hard to re-install the top. There is also some pressure on the egdes while cleaning the rubber from the old windshield. The combo of both could have put the windshield frame off and was kept that way...

Quote from Motor Trend Editors "MT CONFIDENTIAL" Mike Connor Page 17 December Edition "The C7 Corvette body is done, after a two-design in-house competition at GM design. Like the C6 that launched as a 2005 model, the 2013 or 2014 Corvette will be an evolutionary update of the current car...

In there! Chuck M
