    Rusting Floors

    I used POR-15 power fiber mesh (same stuff that comes in their floor repair kit) or what ever they call it and you don't have to bother with Fiber Glass Resin. You basically lay the power mesh stuff down and soak it with POR 15. Seems to have worked pretty darn good. I think I did both sides...

    Body Mount Install - Lessons Learned...

    Ok so I am about half way done with the body mount install on my 76 and I figured I would write up something real quick just to let folks know how it goes so far. First I would say unless you are willing to pull the entire body off the frame you probably shouldn't start this project. The...

    have headers? what to do with plug wires??

    I got some looms from summit racing and hooked them to the valve covers, then went over the top with the wires. Everything worked fine except the very front passenger side the wire is close to one of the pipes, so I had to insulate it.

    Name that part...the bonus round

    I don't have any idea what they are worth. I think shipping would be pretty cheap they are light and not that big. What do you think they are worth?

    Name that part...the bonus round

    I will probably just leave them out. My car sits in a locked garage and is unlikely to get jacked. Do you think they are worth anything?

    jacking up body to change body mounts

    Ya they number the mounts 1-4 front to back on each side so you have total of 8. You can see both #4 mounts if you get up under the rear of your vehicle and look behind your rear tires. You will see a metal bracket cradled around the corner of part of the fiberglass and you can see the rubber...

    jacking up body to change body mounts

    Well you are certainly welcome to try that, but the bolts, at least both rear ones will probably just snap off when you try to loosen them because they are so rusted. Additionally the brackets will also probably just fall apart because of the rust. So then you will need to jack it up all the...

    jacking up body to change body mounts

    Well I am redoing the entire interior and 4 of the bolts are most accessible now while everything is out. Additionally the rubber on my isn't squished in most places it is non-existent. It has either rotted away or split so much that it is not even there. I don't want the shock on the chassis...

    jacking up body to change body mounts

    I am not pulling the body completely off, only lifting it enough to change out the rubber mounts, so I haven't had to pull the windshield.

    jacking up body to change body mounts

    Ok I have read most of the posts on body mounts and they have been real helpful, but no one talks specifically about how they have jacked up the body. So currently I have either snapped off or loosened all the body mount bolts and I was planning on jacking the left side up and put jack stands...

    It may not time warp, but still the results are unpredictable over 88! haha!

    Name that part...the bonus round

    Wow...really? I am pulling the door panels this week so I will see if it looks like they could fit. Pretty interesting. Thanks for the info.

    Thanks for the explanation. I can always count on the boards to come through with the answer.

    It's time for.....name that part!

    Oh the convector! Um...what is a convector? I am going to put a custom sound system in there so I am guessing I don't need that correct? Anyone want a convector?

    Name that part...the bonus round

    I found these two parts in one of my storage compartments in the rear of the vette. They are symmetrically opposite (looks like they would fit one on each side of the car somewhere). They are plastic and have a couple of screw holes in them...Any ideas?

    It's time for.....name that part!

    Ok i am redoing the interior of my 76 and when I pulled away the passenger's side dash if found the following (see attached picture) not hooked up and just hanging there. Any idea what this is? Looks like a heat sink that you would find on a computer processor. Perhaps a noise reducer for the...

    How many of you C3 owners have a Fire extinguisher in your vette?

    If you post your email I will send one to you, but I don't have a website where I can post my pics....

    Custom Interior....Sort of

    Having said that do you have any particular vendor you like? I have dealt with several and seem to get the best service from The Last Detail. Eckler's seems to bit on the low side of quality, but that is just my personal experience and could be isolated incidents.

    Custom Interior....Sort of

    I am replacing the interior of my 76, but I don't like the "firethorn red" color. Will a 68-72 interior fit a 76? The red is much brighter for those years. I am particularly concerned about the fit of the T-Top liners and T-bar. Additionally it was mentioned that I should order all interior...

    side exhaust on a '75

    Same with my 76 in Virginia, except that Virginia has "restricted" driving for antique cars, so if you go that route you can't use it as a daily.
