VNV, Your right on the money with your measurement. Mine is also EXACTLY 6 5/8" between the flats. I was looking at the photo you included above and kept saying to myself, héll that one cool looking engine, before I even realised the damm thing is mine. Stepinwolf

Chuck, I just visited the Newman site, http://www.newmancarcreations.com/index.html and he now has the wide rear fenders in his price list for 820$ . There is no mention of any front fenders for sale, but if you call and inquire, they might have a lead for you. Stepinwolf

Chuck, As far as I know, there are only two firms making the wide fenders for our mid-years and Corvette City is not one of them. Steffens does not make the fenders he sells, nor does he own the molds. All fenders that are purchased from him are made in Colorado by a firm called C.F. Maier and...

Yep, that hym, mr. cadillac man. I always wondered if he marred that little gilrfrind of his, yo'ul certainly remember hoow much she new about cars. I certainly would have married her, she would have been a great help in the garage during the day, then I cou'da got laid at night. :boogie...

Mark, that wouldn't be cousin " Vinny ' would it. ? ;LOL Stepinwolf

A horse of a different color I'm so sorry to hear that you have, or are having difficulty with Gary. Looks as though transactions with different customers doesn't always go over in the same way. As for myself, I have had nothing but positive experiences with Gary, and if my past experiences are...

These are exactly 4.5" plus 1.5" for the threads. Sorry to hear about your close encounter, shÎt we cross the street when we see a garter snake around here. ugh. :ugh Stepinwolf

Bingo , you are right on. The lot of parts that I purchased were ALL for the 63 to 67 model years, so I did not think of looking into any other model years. Mine are exactly 6.5" total length . Thank you for enlightening me. :beer Stepinwolf

What ever type of work that is done is irrelevant, since as far as I know they don't have a chrome shop, and like most other Corvette resellers, they farm everything out. However all this is a moot point, since you are in the same position as myself and living in Canada, it is not cost...

In a recent large, inventory, purchase, I found what I first believed to be two NOS front spare tire carrier bolts. They appear, and are new, look as though they were never installed, and have the correct head-mark identification " A R M O R ". While I was getting ready to offer them for sale...

Got to agree with you there. ;) However with all due respect to those who choose to install big-block's ( I am in the process of dropping a 572 in a 67 coupe ) a well rounded small block, would probably out perform a big block on any decent road race course. The weight ratio, c/g, brake fade...

I plan on installing it in a 63 coupe that was originally a fuelie car. As for the 502, it's got a lot going for it, but in as much as this Corvette will probably be a family car, I wanted to install something that will move it out, but at the same time, something that would be more civilized...

Thank you for your input Jane Ann. As for the photo of the engine, I would like to bring your attention to the smudge marks on the top, rear section of the plenum. I did not cause them, as they were there when I uncreated the engine, so they should be considered as " Original factory finger...

I do a lot of swap meets, not to mention being a vendor for the past 25 years at the Corvette show in Carlisle, and sadly, most of those early cast iron manifolds can be purchased for pocket change. Good luck Stepinwolf

JW, My apologies for the "unbeliever " in me. Had your post included the simple explanation that Tom has just submitted, I would not have doubted your procedure in any way. ;shrug I will retire this evening with a little more accumulated knowledge, thanks to your rag. As for the bra's, I...

With all due respect, if we are talking about the same issue, would you please elaborate on your above statement. I would be very interested to have you explain to me how you are able to stuff a shop rag between the small door lock opening hole in the door panel, and then proceed to wrap...

A big thank you to JohnZ for this " How To " I have included ( see below ) the instructions on how to go about inserting a " thumbnail image " so that everyone can easilly include small photos that are much less intrusive, and do not detract from the text wording of the basic message Here is...

The original plan was to install my Tremec TKO-600, but once the car was sold, the customer insisted on an automatic, so I ordered and installed a " Super Street Fighter " from TCI. Stepinwolf

Kid, If you use the same little hook to scratch your back that I use to remove those clips, you had better have a héll of a thick skin. :eek Stepinwolf

As promised Andy, here are a few more photos of the ongoing restoration. Stepinwolf
