My old trailing arms actually had allot of safety issues with them because of the previous owner so the only parts I reused was one spindle support bracket and one caliper bracket. All of the other parts are new so I think it was harder for me because most of the assembly is meant to be pressed...

Hey Mike, I can't confirm the noise issue because I've never driven my vette, its been a project since day one haha. But, I do know there is sound deadening material that you can lay underneath your carpet and inside your doors. I'm sure that would help significantly. Its not cheap but if your...

Cool thanks guys.

You want flowmasters 40 series mufflers then. They have 3 different types, originals with eventually make your ears bleed so you might want to go with either the Delta flow or the regular two chamber.

Yes.

Bleeding the calipers means to remove air from the system. Flushing the system means to remove all of the old fluid and potential unwanted particles in the fluid. You can buy a fluid pump at an auto parts store for this task. All you have to do is attach the pump hose to the bleeder nipple, open...

Hey everyone, I bought a fuel pump from zip and I'm having trouble connecting the carb line. The square port is facing towards the drivers side door, it seems like it should be pointing towards the drivers side headlight in order to work. I saw on their website that they sell a 90 degree...

If the rear-end hasn't been serviced before, I would stick with the brakes until your ready to overhaul the rear suspension. I went in there only to replace a couple of bushings and the deeper I got, the more problems arose. In the end I was left with a whole new rear suspension lol. Make sure...

I have to agree with bill, I don't have a trim piece there either. Just carpet. Which means your carpet was cut to short or it was simply installed misaligned. Do you have the same gap on the other side?

Well it doesn't look like anyone sells replacement tops, only glass tops. I really didn't want glass since I'm in Cali. Oh well, I guess its better to drive with the tops off anyways right?

Haha not that I know of. The interior is pretty beaten up from the p.o. And there's no battery so I guess I wont know of there's electrical damage for a while lol. I just can't believe my t-top is gone, I locked it in before transport, I have a feeling the driver never locked my door because it...

Well she finally arrived today, with one of the t-tops missing :bash I already called the transport company and they said they'll call me back after they find out what happened. The car was insured for $100k so they better replace it. Also my left muffler was hanging off:beer awesome lol. I...

Lol oh Plymouth, brings me back to my neon expresso days :*). I think your on the right track, heads n headers will help allot. If you have the cash afterwards, you could always upgrade the deff. There isn't a whole lot after that until you go into the internals. If you feel ambitious, you could...

Well you could buy a crappy junk yard ls1 motor for 1200 and a rebuild kit for 800. Thats your whole budget. These guys know what their talking about, you can get more power for cheaper with a crate motor. Just save your pennys or find a free motor. lasers are a different breed than vettes, they...

Agreed, spend the same amount of money on a crate motor.

I can't decide to keep the clown shoes and be "different" or spray them black.

I would load pictures but it doesn't seem to work on my phone

Well my car is loaded and ready for shipment. Should be at my Cali house in 10 days :)

Thanks guys, here's the link to the tear down: http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/forums/c3-technical-performance/115629-rear-end-rebuild-update.html this car is going to be my daily driver so I'm sure you'll see many more rebuild threads :)

Thanks John.
