What are you looking to have done? Aside my from my body shop I just opened a mech.in shop is seymour CT. Vettes are the specialty.

John. Let me know what you think of the repo top frame. I was going to buy one from Coffman. He gave me the best price. I just want to know how well they fit. A guy I know in Calif. has used them a few times and told me they fit and work great. I can't see me buying a top frame and restoring it...

Wow that's a big unit. I was going to go with a street rod unit and order diff. parts to make what I want. I'm going to use the stock GM comp. from the LT1. I want to use the orig. assy. brackets. I to am still looking for some good looking vents. If you find something let me know. Your brake...

Hi Larry. My frame is done and should be picked up next week. Motor is all done. And all my chrome is at NU Chrome. I have almost all my parts here. I still need to buy the AC unit. What one did you use. I'm thinking on Hot Rod Air.

With a roller cam you do not need to break in the cam. Just prime the motor fire it up tune it and go do burnouts.

John. You can rent an elec. cart right at the gate so you don't have to walk all day. I reserve one every time I go cause my knee can't take the walking. It's just not right to miss Corvette Carlilse

This is the right way to do the job. Use the Scotch brite pads for the last coats of primer. Wash it real good and let it dry in the sun. Brian G.

Yes all filler will have to be redone. If the nose is spliced you may want to to a new upper surround before you paint it.

If you use the right stripper you will not have any problems. Captain Lees works great. Or you have to buy one that is ok for fiberglass. The problem is when someone that don't know what they are doing uses the wrong type stripper. Sanding is not a very good way to strip a fiberglass car. Having...

Chemical strip.

Herb. I agree with John. Thats the way to go. By the way,thanks for the seats. Brian G.

Larry You said the car was stripped before you got right? If some one used the wrong stripper and left it on the top surface to long it could have caused the glass to delaminate. And would not show up till the sun heated it up. I saw this once on a car that a guy stripped with to strong a...

I have a 63 rear clip sitting in my back yard thats been there for some time. It did the same thing you have. I believe the resin breaks down after being outside for a long time. When you apply color it is now going to get hotter then when it was bare glass. Thats when S--- starts to happen. I...

Out side in the sun is the best thing you could do for it. But do not rush the job. Let your painter do things his way and when its done its done. I tell customers all the time I won't rush the job just to make them happy. I only want to do it once.

Larry. I stayed out of this one till now. Because people will believe what they want to believe. First , you can bake the car in a booth all you want but you can not reach the surface temp. the sun will put on the car. If you had a booth, like a powder coat booth that can reach 200 for a few...

Sky65 Wheels are 15x6,tires 215/65/15. Fit perfect and no tire rub at all.

Sky65 This is the only other pic. I have. The car was just out of my shop from being painted. So thats why the car is apart. But you can see the wheels better.

Here's my two

A polyester based primer is all you need if the body has a lot of work done to it. If the body is orig. glass and in real nice shape then you can use a urethane primer. Most people mistake polyester primers for gel coat. They are not gel coat. Feather Fill or Slick Sand are good polyester...

Has anyone looked into using a hydroboost brake setup? I am thinking of using one in my 60 project instead of a vac. booster. Any thoughts? Brian G.
