And Junkman comes through again.... Look at pg 4 of your attachment. They, the 4 nuts/studs are named fender reinforcement studs. A bit farther down, your attachment reads 5NM. Don't you think that is a bit to low? What do you do for yours? I am ok with my alignment, but I do not like how...

Torque Value I have a question about the torque value on the cover. The G M manual reads 4 NM! How can that be so low? Would not the alignment of fender and cover slip? 4 is nothing, what do you do?

Does the DIC state that the CC is on when you initiate the lever on the signal stalk? Mine is blank. But when you push the button on the end of the signal stalk the DIC will read the set speed and when you lever the CC off, the DIC will read it is disengaged. What does your C5 do? I...

Thanks Junkman! Got it all back together and I believe it came out well. The issue with the "Tangs" was a non-issue and the cover went on without any problems. Thanks for answering my questions about the special clear coat tools, headlamps and cover! Question, with the multiple cover...

Now that how it should be explained to someone, me, about clearcoat. Reading the GM repair manuals (1-3) it reads about a clear coat gauge, what does this tool look like?? I really, really like your HID (?) headlamps. I am of a certain age that when I drive the 'Vette at night, I can't see...

Thanks and you are very talented at that painting stuff, it looks great! It is an OEM cover. The bottom of the cover has eyelits that pass over the lower skid plate. The eyelits have slits that travel towards the rear/bottom of the cover. The slits open up and the skid plate bar slides...

I am about to install the front cover and have a question. I believe I should lay the core over the top and perhaps put some loose dowels in, to hold it in place along with placing the cover over the bolts... The question I have , should I warp the lower tangs of the cover down or up , over the...

Not me! Fascia Installation Now, now Tom, it was someone else that wrecked it,,yes, yes, that's how it happened :L Tom, check your email messages, did you get them? I have a question, did you put your cover on the C5? If so, how did you slip over the skid plate "points" while putting the...

More Update I had a few hours today and installed all the items to the Skid Plate (SP). The purchase was excellent on the R front nut insert and torqued it to 44NM instead of 50 and put a bit of blue permatex on it. I know it looks ugly but part of that is enamel black that I spray on to...

Oh, that's what that is.... Finally spoke with a partsman at a Chevy Dealership who clued me in as to what I wanted and how much. The "lid" that scoops air to the condenser over the radiator is called a Module Case. The 3 rubber gaskets that seal the module case over the condenser cost...

Am replacing the Skid Plate and while cleaning all the road debris, mostly seed like material and pine needles, from under the car, I noticed the weatherstripping between the black funnel and AC condenser (behind the front bumper cover-fascia) is missing on one side and half is missing at the...

Update Was underneath the car preparing for the installation of the new Skid Plate (SP) and the noticed the R rail nut insert and frame rail was pooched outwards. When I touched the nut insert it fell out! There was not enough room to use a smitter so I ended up removing the front bumper...

Progress, at last! Here is an update for you: It is possible to remove the Skid Plate by yourself laying on the ground under your Corvette. I drove the car up my low ramps and have about foot and a half of working space. The Slid Plate (SP) is about 9" tall if memory serves and lately it's...

The seals are leaking once more. The tell tale sign, other than the spots in the driveway, is a burning smell while at a traffic light. The oil leaks on the exhaust pipes. Question, the car has about 40 k on it now and the first time they went out was under warranty, so about 2006 at the...

Elephant structures, Carports Well, I'm gonna do it, I will be ordering a Carport Structure from them in a few days. Need to clarify a few points with them such as side height and center top height, we have a code here in my town for 8 feet tops in height.... Funny thing happened that I'd...

Progress The weather in California has been a little bit cold for spray painting so about in the middle of the day I pull out the skid plate along with the spray can (with a black sock over the silver can) and when warm, give a the frame a coat of paint. (Sorry for those that live in really...

Was looking at some You Tube Videos about wrecks in performance vehicles by inexperienced drivers.. Got to thinking about the button for Traction Control. Obviously some of these drivers either turned it off or the vehicle did not have this control option. What causes the vehicle to swerve...

The new skid plate has come in from Zips, looks good. Will primer and give it a few coats of enamel black. Haven't decided what to do about the small rip underneath, I know of a great body and paint man, Jeff in Ventura, CA that does fantastic! work. 805 650 1476 for those of you who live...

I have a Corvette Maintence book and have read a bit about the Throttle Body, neat about how it warms up with radiator water. Anyway it appears to be a job to clean it up. What about just taking off the inlet tube and clean with carb cleaner...? I have about 40k on the car and drive it on...

More Stuff A bunch of you have looked at this with nothing to say but "you're an idiot?" Yes, I am beating myself up over this mistake, now, anyone out there replaced theirs? Advice on the job I'm about to do in two weeks? Notice; The dealer wants over $400 for the part and found it at Zips...
