Wirenut I think AutoPower makes roll bars for Corvettes, and maybe Alston too. I think AutoPower will tell you how to measure and they will build one to your specs. A standard unit will most likely NOT clear the convertible irons on the side and will require a special build. That would allow...

Sky65 Thanks, I think the night view is neat too, but you should have seen 12 of them when we used to drag race at night. Sights and sounds!!!! never forget them. I love your flared fenders too, but just never got around to doing it on the 63, but do have them on a 68 Racer. I had a set of...

Sky65 Love your taillights. I did mine right after I bought the car, along with many other's. I first made a template made out of a valve cover gasket box, then later had one made out of aluminum. My work probably has given many NCRS purists fits as they had to re-do my work. I still love...

PhotoVette Thanks for the info on headlight upgrades. I can't see your wiring diagram though. If you wouldn't mind sending it to me I would appreciate it. How did you set it up with your headlight switch and dimmer switch? I see the amps that your new lights pull, do you know what the stock...

Rowinggone Do you think it could be a line-lock that a drag racer has put on it to lock the front wheels when they were doing burn-outs? Ol Blue

Saved for 7 years to get my first new car, a 63 Corvette. Still have it. :) http://www.knology.net/~corvettes/63vett.jpg

Black Moon I used some straps that sound similar to yours when lifting the body off of a 64 roadster. They also had been used on a 67 coupe, and neither one of us had a problem with too much pressure. I did leave the hardtop on to give the roadster body a little more stability though. We put...

Hmmmm, wonder what kind of car Roger really drives? Ol Blue

Mike Glad to hear that you like to road tour thru the midwest. There are some fantastic roads in the Southern part of the state if you ever get a chance to spend more time in Indiana. If you ever get a chance to try any of them. Take the time to tour this place...

63Split I have a 91 convert for my wife. See plate for state. http://www.hayco.ca/images/usa1.jpg :) Ol Blue

63Split Yes, engine swaps were all the rage back then. I knew a guy that bought a 59 Vette from a used car lot, that seemed a little slow. Come to find out it had a 265 cubic inch engine in it instead of the 283. His friend had a 62 that when he traded it in on a 63 Coupe at the same place...

63Split Thanks, I sorta consider my car a "survivor" given the hard life it had for 185,000 miles. :) Saved for 7 years to buy it, and it was my only car as with many Corvette owners back then. Drove it everyday, everywhere, rain, snow, sleet or mud. I even lived in Chicago for 4 years and...

63Split 63 Vette warrantee was 24,000 miles or 24 months. Ol Blue Original and still owner of.... http://www.knology.net/~corvettes/63vett.jpg

I have a set of Heddman's on my 63 small block that feed into factory sidepipes that fit great. No clearance problems anywhere. Ol Blue

67HEAVEN Ok, the finish coat (or whatever) covering the fibers was taken off. Ol Blue

Take a look at this thread for others that have had problems. I had to dimple my headers on a 68 big block racer. http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=40507 Ol Blue

Black Moon Before you have your car media blasted, you might be well-served to talk to someone that has used that business before, and also to make sure you know that the person that does the blasting can and will do a good job. I was running into a real time crunch to get my racecar ready for...

In a body-off restoration of a 64 Corvette, I used a heat gun and a scraper which worked very well. Then followed up with WD 40 and a stiff brush. I agree on the powder coating, I've used that on two body-off frames and am very satisfied with the results. Of course, it won't meet NCRS...

HTS If you have low water, or if the sensor is bad, the computer won't allow the fuel pump to work. Same thing with low oil pressure. If the tach filter is bad, the computer won't let the fuel pump work because it doesn't know the engine is cranking. The tach filter might fail because of heat...

Scott H Have you looked to see if the throttle bodys are pumping fuel when this hard start occurs? I had an 84 once that had two separate problems that caused hot start problems. 1. There is something called a tach filter on the distributor. When this goes bad, the tach doesn't register, if...
