Thanks. I see I have a PM I'll read it later tonight. Got the second trailing arm out so I'm very happy. Can't get the rotor off however. It's been off before for sure since the rivets are already gone. Not sure if it's just frozen or if the parking break is holding it in. Got real...

Bill and Coupeman, Thanks for the feedback and the offered help. I got the driver side half shaft and trailing arm assembly out of the car yesterday. Going to attack the passenger side today. Not sure if I'm going to go after the differential today or not. My wife got me a Kwiklift for...

Hey Bill, I'm in the process of the same project on my 71. The picture you posted looks exactly like the way my car is set up. The bolts seem about an inch and a half farther forward than the spring when the spring is loose. I think what you have is normal. Keep posting your progress. I'm...

Just my conspiracy theory mind working. Before all the official unveiling I'm going to predict that the 500 HP Z06 with aluminum frame we've all been seeing the last few weeks is the Blue Devil and a huge price and the real consumer Z06 is the under wraps convertible at the show that will have...

Rob, Can't make your link work but I edited mine above and it is working now. I think the player truncates the file name when you cut and paste. Thanks for the help. Jon

I saw this link on my other favorite board. Decide for yourself but it looks like the big surprise is a Convertible and the ability to go see your engine built in person. http://www.northeastsyty.com/videos/TY2185_NESYTY_Vids/Zo6/Zo6Engine.wmv bly byu (John) if you're reading this thanks for...

I looked at your list on Ebay and the inside rear quarter panel trim panels are for a Coupe. If you have the black Convertible ones in yet please send me a PM. Thanks, Whiplash

Hi, I'm looking for both rear interior quarter panel trim panels for a 1971 Convertible in Black but any color will work. Thanks in advance.

I know it sounds strange but the steel spring on my car touches the rim when one side of the car is jacked up. The the independant rear the wheels move in some when the car is jacked up and the spring moves down more with no weight on the wheels. It wouldn't surprise me to find out that there...

Eddie, Sorry to bother you. Were you able to find the specs for your TTII's i.e. backspace/offset? Thanks in advance. Whiplash

Hey Cee, It was good to talk to you tonight. For others trying to get here tomorrow the Irving Hooters is on Hwy 183 and Beltline Rd. OPTION 1 Coming from North of Dallas area take 114 South to 183 West. Exit Beltline North (there is a South exit too) Turn right on Beltline and Hooters is...

Angry Planet and 68 Roadster both indicated they'd be up for wings at Hooters in Irving, Texas off of Beltline Tomorrow at Noon (Sunday the 26th). I'm just posting to get confirmation and see if anyone else can make it. We can welcome Angry Planet to Corvette ownership and check out his...

Angry Planet proposed Irving as a middle point. It's right across the street from the Irving Mall on Airport Freeway (183 I think?) and Beltline. I suggest Sunday at Noon. It would be good to see you again. All DFW area members should join! If you agree maybe one of you can post a new...

I agree with everyone else here. Very nice custom work and a great price. I'm in the DFW area and would be happy to show you how to get the top off if it's really a modified hardtop. Unless it's grafted to the windshield and body it shouldn't be a problem. I can also help you find your...

I put BFG's on mine and love them. The price was right and I got them at discount tires. http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=4597 The shot makes the wheel well look too open. The suspension was new and the angle of the shot was a little off. The car's...

Pgtr, My understanding is the stock rally wheels are 15 x 8 with 4 in backspace and 0 offset. I measure the backspacing on mine and they're 4 in. The bolt pattern is 5 x 4 3/4 I forget the metric measurement for the bolt pattern. If you do the conversion on 4.75 inches to mm on one of the...

No special tools required although a small brass punch helps. Unless the seal is really trashed it's likely a drip from the valve covers when the oil comes to the top of the engine. I replaced both the valve cover gaskets and rear main on mine this winter and the car is now bone dry. The...

I love the look of the TTII's on your ride. I tried to get some for my 71 but the clearance didn't work. I've got 245/60/15's on mine for clearance so they should be slightly smaller than your 255'60's. What were the specs on your wheels? The TTII's I trial fitted were the standard 15x8's...

You can do it yourself pretty easily. Prefit before you install and soak the bolts like said above. I'm not sure about the MAD kit but my kit brought the pipes from 2 in to 2.5 in. You need to have the proper bracket for under the transmission for the 2.5 to fit on a 4spd, not sure on an...

Hi Brian, The ralleyes are numbers matching for 71 and have some minor surface rust. I plan on sandblasting them and then repainting appropriately. The chrome rings and center caps are in fine shape. I plan on keeping them as this was a one owner car when I bought it and it's all numbers...
