Many Thanks After reading the responses to this thread, I've decided to just wait and leave well enough alone for now. Some day I'll have it apart for something else and deal with it till then... "It'll be our little secret" The Blemish I'm refering to is so small it didn't stop me from...

Hey Gang: I have a few blemishes in my Parking Brake Cover that BUG ME. They are minor, and I've never lost points for them. But I've been thinking of taking it out so I could refinish it. What holds it in? is it complicated, or just a "Pop-Out". Thanks for the tips Gerry

Excellent Congrats! Can't wait for photos! I still remember my first Highway entrance ramp after the performance mods. I was laughing out loud, at the top of my lungs, like a 14 year old on a rollercoaster! Enjoy! By the way what was your final desicion on the color sceme for the interior?

Classic Car Ins. Why split hairs? I wouldn't accept any policy that didn't specificly indicate and agreed value on the car. Period. If you like State Farm, and they can do that then great. If they can't I would move on. The are lots of companies that will. If anything ever happened to my baby...

My .02 Spend the extra on the car that has a lot of work already done on it. If you are on this site, you already care more than a lot of vette owners. If you buy a car that is going to "Need", even a few things, a couple of grand will go in no time.

Paint it to match or compliment Steph: Thanks for the compliment. My opinion. . . If it is not an NCRS Car paint it "Gloss Something". Either to Match the exterior color scheme (as I did) or Compliment, as with the photo eariler in this thread. I like the Sleeper style (low key)...

Original vs. Modified :DMy .02 I don't think 78-82's are going to appreciate significantly in my lifetime. So, I modified my engine bay to suit my needs and taste. If you want HP increase, you need to do more than an Air Pump. There are lots of little things that can be done here and there...

Watch for emmissions I wanted to get rid of mine as part of an entire engine overhall. One thing leads to another. But no question, although it may be a small amount, one less belt to turn & less wieght = increased power. I went to oversized pullies on the other componants & headers and and...
