    Exhaust systems on C1s

    I wish someone sold a complete 2 1/2" exhaust system for C1s, instead of having to get one custom made.

    Good to hear you have no cooling issues, because I bought the same Be Cool radiator for my 59 (with a 383 stroker). I'm planning on using a stock shroud (modified to fit the radiator) and belt-driven fan, instead of an electric fan. I was just concerned because I'll be running it in the Texas...

    is there enough frame and suspension here? 61 C1

    Cornering was probably not high on the priority list when that car was built. But the role cage and its tie-in to the front might help with chassis stiffness. I guess we are used to seeing more of a cross-member between the front wheels. Cool looking car, though.

    Chevy announces Corvette Z06 0-60 mph time and base price

    Good price - cheaper than the predictions. Wonder how much the LS7 crate will be?

    C1 Brass Radiator/ Fan Shroud combo.

    I'm guessing you could cut out the bracket at the bottom of the 61-62 core support, and fit in the bigger (19") 56-59 size radiator than the 17" 61-62 size radiator.

    Wise Guy seats and Custom colored Dash pads fpr C1's

    I had Al Knoch redo my seats to look stock, but to take out about 3 inches of height to the bottoms and depth to the backs of the stock seat frames. His price was very reasonable, and this made the car much more driveable. I'm 6'6", so I need any help I can get. The 15" steering wheel helps a...
