I worked for the same company as Tim Wusz- although different operating divisions-- and I can say I've never read a more thorough explanation of the process. The big difference are in fact the additives-- put in at the "rack" or distribution terminal as the tankers are being loaded for...

Thanks Bill - - -I'll give it a shot and call for help if I mess it up ! Cheers - -

I'm not sure I'd suggest steam cleaning - - I'd think the high pressure might be counter-productive. Rather, I use 2 parts water to one part Simple Green cleaner- - environmentally friendly, non-petroleum based-- then sprayed on a warm engine. There are certain components that common sense...

Brother Daryl: I'd originally thought that Lee was an offshoot made by Kelly-Springfield, but my local Goodyear store tells me that Lee Tire and Rubber is in fact a small independent manufacturer - -he thought in the southeast. So here's the only listing I could dig up that was close. Lee Tire...

I'd call it a "lift and pull" Laguna. Two unequal arms, joined at a central hinged point. When extended, the longer arm locks into the smaller arm. Here;s a link to the Ecklers description & photo...

Happy Holidays to All and many thanks for the wit and wisdom of this forum. I recently picked up a set of used door panels then bought the mounting and screw kits from Ecklers for my early 74 coupe w/pw. I've searched the available posts for a "how-to" on replacing door panels and didn't...

and a pretty butt-ugly winter it's been ! (We moved from Ohio to Scottsdale, AZ and never looked back!) Good point on the Calyx - - -the finish on the factory manifolds is more pourous than the smooth finish on headers and I'd guess it adheres better.... will try it on the old MGB. Best wishes...

First of all, congrats on such a great looking, well preserved roadster....it looks awesome! I don't recall Texas regulations on smog testing, or whether there's an exemption for cars over 25 years - - but I agree with Tom that exhaust gets my vote as the place to start and may provide the most...

I'm not familiar with that specific product but did my own testing by shooting one side with silver VHT paint, and the other side with a "rub on" product called CALYX (I think that's the right spelling) - - a shoe polish type consistency that is rubbed on with a soft cloth. It was tough to get...

:v and on the mid 70's C-3's the L-82 engines were identifiable by the finned aluminum valve covers in contrast to the base engines with the painted valve covers. I'm not sure however if that practice continued into the 80's/ Happy holidays! CQRT in AZ

Tom: Just a quick compliment on the thoroughness of your reply - - I've learned alittle about good and bad fiberglass over the years from owning a couple of Sea Rays along with eight Corvettes. Although we're never too old to learn, I feel frequently put off by some posters in this forum who...

It's keyed the same as your doors-- the rounded key. And even though it's covered in it's own little lock condom, water and dirt invariably trash it after all these years. I'm sure you can find a replacement at any of the Corvette supply businesses. Most C-3'rs seem to take one of two...

Ripp: If I remember the pictures correctly, our very own ROBIN7TFour did exactly that by mounting the light at the rear portion of his coupe above the rear window. Bail me out here Robin ! He's an absolute wizzard and I'm sure would be happy to share his expertise. Happy Holidays ROLLIE

It looks great either way, but is the final version WITH or WITHOUT the side exhausts ??

First of all, congratulations on getting yourself an early Christmas present - - it opens up all whole new spectrum of performance parts, trim, doo-dads and stuff that people can give to you for the holidays. It's not uncommon for the plastic nose/tail caps to crack with age and there are a...

By the way Robin, your avatar is really cool - - -how did you do it?? Is the model anyone we know ?

ROBIN: If you ever need a picture of something off another early `74 - -just let me know and I'll e-mail it to you - - Lyn got a new Sony camera for her real estate biz and it does detail pretty well. Rain and 44 in Scottsdale this morning - - - If I liked this kind of weather, I would have...

So for those of us not removing the body - - how the heck do you get the remaining portion of the bolt out if it snaps - - and then what do you do ?? And you're right Ripp - - -the folks on this board are terrific . . educational and entertaining! Thanks--

Great looking 74 there 12 stepper . . . sorry to see you part with it. How's things in NERK there John ?? Spent a few years next door in G'ville. Regards- ROLLIE

Maddog: How about an uncracked parking brake console with power windows - - in black would be really nice . . .? Thanks ROLLIE
