1954 Corvettes
The pictures were taken about 1975 in Stillwater, Ok.
He wanted about $400 for the one outside and about $800 for the black one inside. I didn't have the money, didn't have a place to put them and didn't think they were worth that much anyway. :)
Quote from your web site: "In February 1964 the two of us attended the “Polar Prix” SCCA sports car race at Green Valley Raceway in Northeast Fort Worth Texas."
I was also at that race. I had forgotten exactly when it was. A friend and I drove from Tulsa in his Austin Healey 3000.
Being a...
Since the above discussion has covered most of the drive train possibilities and given your last comment I suggest you examine your front suspension carefully.
I have heard clunk noises in front suspensions before. Something loose there is not a good thing. Check both ends of the a-frames...
My first guess is you have a ground problem on the passenger side.
A strong indication is your last sentence.
Check to make sure you have a good ground from the light socket housing to the frame.
On these old cars, if judging is not a concern, I add a new ground wire connecting all tail...
As stated above 1613 is available at Sherwin Williams paint stores.
My local store did not stock it but they did order a box, six cans.
It is a different formula and does not look the same.
Looks more like satin.
Not good for a correct look.

I agree with JohnZ, DeWitts aluminum reproduction is the way to go. I have one in my 57 and everyone assumes it is an original. Cools very well.
I did everything on the list for cooling and still had to add fans for stoplight driving in hot weather (100s)

A modern design aluminum radiator does a better job than present brass radiators.
The difference is in the manufacturing process; aluminum allows a better design because of process that will not work with brass.
Having said that, the aluminum radiator will not solve your low speed heating...
Don't waste your money on additives, they are mostly snake oil.
I don't know of any fan with mount made specifically a C1.
Brackets for a front mount fan are easy to make. I installed a 15 inch (?, don't remember the exact size now) pusher on my 57.
I later installed two 11" fans behind the...
I doubt you would see a lot of benifit on the convertibles unless you drive a long distance. Heat transfer through the floor boards and transmission tunnel can be a problem on a long drive.
How about a guy from Oklahoma telling about that car.
Restoration was finished in 2007 in time for them to drive it to the Solid Axle National Convention in St Charles, IL just before Bloomington in June. They took it to Bloomington and parked next to my car in the Gold Year Field.
They left...
I ran a Unilight in my 65 for about 30 years without a problem.
I installed a Pertronics in my 57 and it stranded me about 10 months later. Had to reinstall points and condenser to get home. Pertronics sent me another one no charge.
Carry points, condenser and appropriate tools just in case...
You will have to remove the half shaft.
You will have to remove the axle stub from the trailing arm.
It can be very difficult to remove the axle stub if it has not been removed before. Without the right tools it can be almost impossible. If you do not have the specialized tools I suggest you...
