Cool thats good to know. I was wondering how well it holds up. Unfortunately I think the leather of my steering wheel is getting too rough to just cover up.

I will have to do some checking on the earlier convertibles. I am sure that GM used one frame for both coupes and convertibles and it is my understanding that in the later C3s the frame has already been strengthened over the older models. I understand what some are saying about take the money...

do you have the frame for the soft top? If so how much?

I got carried away in buying new interior parts for my 78 and got a wild hair to research convertible conversions. I am ordering most of the parts that I need tomorrow. Still need to find either a frame for the top and new top or a hard top. Saw one frame on ebay but not sure how good the...

I saw those door panels the other day but they cost twice as much as what I am paying for the new ones I ordered. So far this is what I am thinking about doing now. Blk seats Red carpet Black floor mats Leave dash pad black rest of dash red 2 tone steering wheel Carpet and seats have to...

All sounds good. My parts were shipped today so i'll be starting soon. Going to post some before, during and after pics. A special suprise, I found a conversion kit so I'm also going to be making it a convertible. This should be interesting.

OK thanks. I ordered all the new interior and will be giving it a shot as soon as it comes in

I need some help deciding on interior color. The car is a 78 and exter is black. Orig interior was oyster with cloth enlay on the seats and door panels. I just purchased some C5 seats off of ebay in black. I really don't want a black interior and have spent too much on the seats to...

I wanted to go 2 tone on my interior. I tried ordering parts from a custom upholstery sho[ and just too much of a headache because it's a 78 and they can't get the right parts for the year. The door panels on a 78, I want black with one section on them red. I am thinking about buying red...

Post a side pic of it

I think you'll be ok with the flow masters and no sound proofing. Mine over ride all other sounds that the car makes LOL.

I wanted to keep the 8track look also. I just got one of the hidden ones that I mounted under the dash and put the control above rear view mirror. I like it plus its fun to watch people try to adjust the radio in the car (especially when I have the remote in my hand)

Has anyone used lizard skin or something similar? I saw it being used on the Horsepower TV show. Was wondering if it really works. It would be thinner and easier than cutting and gluing pieces. I need something that works for that oven I have to sit in. It runs about 189 a bucket and I...

Was shopping Willcox for new interior and remembered your question. I saw one there for sale. It runs $200. Here's the link http://willcoxcorvette.com/advanced_search_result.php?year=1978&category=1993&keywords=Keyword+or+Part+%23&x=59&y=3 hope it helps FYI it's under their used parts...

LS9 would be nice but it will be too expensive. The LS7 is $1200.

I went in to bid on it but it went over $1100. and I could get it from the dealer for 100 bucks more. Too bad.

Thats sucks. Hopefully he was ok. The pics looked great. I don't think there's a better looking car than a C3 convertible. Can't wait til I get mine in that shape. Did he have insurance that will cover the loss? If so maybe he can find another one that someone else already did the work for...

I came across this engine the other day. What do you guys think about it and is anyone using it? http://www.crateenginedepot.com/store/FastBurn-350-Crate-Engine-425HP-with-Hot-Cam-Installed-12496769-HOT-CAM-P962C53.aspx

yeah but it was fun looking at all the different ones thinking each one might become yours.

I ran a search of 72's. Most of what I found were being sold at corvette specialty shops so you can subtract a few thousands off of them over pricing them. Everything that I found 20K and above were original matching #'s. When they had the engine swapped they dropped into the lowto mid teens...
