    Big block side pipe install (Hookers)

    First off you heard it run!!!!! Man is that a milestone Chris, Congratulations! To bad you had another setback, though. Its amazing how long the Hooker sidepipes have stood the test of time. Its hard to believe they don't step to the times with tuneable sound, pre coating, a little styling,ect...

    newbie with new engine in my 81

    The 81 comes with 2.87 std & 3.07 optional. Either one should require less torque converter, stall speed than a car equipped with a more aggressive rear end. Bullitts advice of contacting an application specialist at one of the major brands is wise. Also you must be ready to accept the slushy...

    454 going into my '70!

    Len, Take it from a guy who knows. Their ain't nothing more fun than feeling the 454 pull & pull. You don't even have to spend a ton to perk up the truck designated 454. Just get some low budget Hi Performance GM heads, throw in a good cam, a better intake, & a big Holley & it will give that...

    March 2002 - Grinding the Corvette Axe

    I have been driving Corvettes across a span of 30 years with gaps between ownership. I now live in Florida (Vette heaven) but migrated from Toledo, Ohio in the midwest. I would say that the wave has struggled since my first Vette to my last. Everything was the same then & will always be this...

    Help me choose a wheel!

    Chris the wheels are off the car in a stack due to paint prep. I would be easily able to measure offset now if you think it would be of any value to you. You have seen a few pics & know those wheelwells look plenty stuffed so the 10" will work. Offset has a bearing in this equasion, naturally...

    Help me choose a wheel!

    Chris I forgot to mention the rims are 8" front, 10" rear. I would say our rear wheelwells are real close & though offsets vary from rim to rim, mine give it that wide stance that is clearly filling the well. And could only be achieved by using the BIG flares. With 2' of rubber back there...

    Help me choose a wheel!

    Chris you may have not noticed but Thunder has 16" front & 15" rear rims. Helps that old traction problem a little. Car sits slightly higher in front. Of course 60's on the front & 50's in the back offset some of it. But just bought a set of 50's that are taller than original set (same brand &...

    C5 to ZR-1 trade.

    Rob, Your assessment of ownership of a ZR-1 was fair & presents a stong view of what its like to own a classic. The ZR-1 will forever be a major player in Corvettes history. Pride for your ride is part of Corvette ownership, & it truly came thru in your post. Art think long & hard about this...

    How to get some hookers for free!

Nice job on them flares mod man, great series for others to ponder! Just hope they have the moxy to follow the trim...
