What's the verdict Fishman? Any success or are you going to leave the current emblem alone? Culprit

Howdy matchframe, Wish I had some cool story for ya, but the truth is I did it with my own pocket knife - I slipped while cutting some stubborn plastic zip ties. I just got in a hurry and wasn't paying attention. It was a quick clean slice and didn't hurt at all surprisingly. But when I...

A friend of mine has the USA 5 or 6 in his early 60's Impala wired up to a pair of Bose indoor/outdoor speakers sitting on the back seat of his convertible (so he can throw them in the trunk depending on where he's parking or set them up on the rear deck at tailgates). His simple setup gives...

Matchframe, that's part of the reason it hasn't made it back on the car yet. :) I need to decide if I want to just trust the 2 cans of fix a flat I carry around, or if I should pick up a cheap spare from a junkyard or e-bay. Fishman, that's the spirit. Let us know how it turns out. This...

Hello Eric, My car is pretty much stock so I can't really answer your questions, but I wanted to reply and tell you that I'm from West Chester, PA pretty close to County Corvette (but am a Marine currently stationed in South Carolina so I only get home for major holidays). It's a small world...

Howdy Fishman, First recommendation is to remove the spare tire carrier so you can see up there. I did this a month or so ago when replacing some u-joints and it hasn't made it back on yet - not sure if it ever will. Anyhow... Laying under the rear of the car looking up you will see the...

Nobody has mentioned the Delco Reactec's. From reading previous threads, they seemed to be up there with Blistens. Thoughts?

matchframe and 1974 Vette - Thanks! I'm handy with a dremel, but I'd like to keep the original bezel with the factory radio - and it looks like a CD/MP3 unit is in my future. Semper Fi, Culprit

1974vette - thanks for posting that picture. Did that bezel from Vette Specialties come cut for a modern radio or did you cut it yourself. Did you use a mounting bracket from somewhere? My 78 radio works but the 8-track doesn't. I've almost convinced myself to go with a modern radio with a...

Howdy Stallion - glad you got the filter off (but I'm still going to give my input to this thread). :) If my filter wrench won't budge a stubborn filter, before going to the screwdriver as a last resort I reach for my truly universal filter wrench - a pair of Channel-locks that measures about...

Great picture of a sweet vette, John. Looks like it came off the assembly line about 30 minutes ago. Culprit

Crebo, I like the wheels on the black Vette in Rush Hour - and the movie isn't bad either. :) What color is your car? I don't think those spokes would look as good on a lighter color - I think the contrast really helps them look as sharp as they do. Culprit

Glad to hear you got the encouragement and motivation you needed at the right moment. I bet you'll be done sooner than you think. Culprit

tx73vette - thanks for the reply. Actually, I was trying to be somewhat sarcastic at myself. I know what hog ring pliers are, but I was too stubborn (and impatient) to get a set. Looking back, you're 100% right - it would have been well worth the money. Culprit

The frame looks great 67heaven! One question though - UV protection for your frame? Culprit

No, I haven't put the movie in yet. My parts showed up in the mail so I've spent the week putting it back together (and shrimping). I'll let you know what I think. Have fun moving! Culprit

Hog Ring pliers! :duh What are those?! :hb I used two pairs of small needle nose vice grips and a whole pack of Goody's headache powder. Culprit

Since I had to order some parts, I threw that book, Rochester Carburators by Doug Roe in also. I haven't read much of it yet, but from paging through it, it looks great. The pictures alone are worth the price, and when I get around to actually reading the text, I'm sure I'll learn a lot. Culprit

What Roy said (unless you build cars for somebody named Earnhardt or Gordon), My cousin had a hand-me-down Volvo. He NEVER changed the oil or filter. Every couple of months he would pour in a fresh quart (I don't know if it was burning it or leaking it). I don't think he ever used the same...
