i remember at one time a rather lengthy thread on dynamat, etc as a heat barrier when re-doing the interior (carpet, etc). i figured since i am about to embark on this project, i would like opinions as to what you have used, how hard it was to install (work with), what you might think is the...

barry, good luck. i hope the weekend bring you what you and your wife want. i agree that selling it is tough, but as previously stated, necessity will prevail, and there's always another project around the corner when you get a bit better situated and don't feel the cash crunch. have a great...

mike thanks, but unfortunately, there is too large an expanse of black that makes it difficult to do that way. additionally there is a script on the badge that makes it difficult to restore, but, i guess that's something of an option. i wouldn't have a problem paying for a professional...

i have several center console, 1978 pace car "25th anniversary" badges i need to have restored. i thought someone like the last detail, in georgia would do stuff like that, but they told me they don't. i am am at a lost at this point as to who else to try. has anyone used someone they could...

HERE, HERE!! personally counldn't agree more. my wife didn't like to ride in my BRAND NEW 1993 convertible when i had it, (equipped with every creature comfort available that year) so why assume that there would be much difference in any other newer corvette. i guess it would really matter if it...

art thanks for that info. i was hoping that someone might have tried that. i appreciate your input. it seems like the logical way to go. mike thanks, i have all of that, but for a job as small as a column, i really didn't want to fool with the full blown set up, hence the spray can info...

bluewasp, sorry, but as i indicated they do not have anything in the way of interior touch up paint in any form what so ever. that information is directly from their sales department via telephone. that still leads me back to my original questions...............can anyone give me a suggestion...

barry, i certainly understand. you seem to have backed yourself into a nice corner there, lol!! it's tough when your hobby and afflictions become those of your spouse, LOL!! so far, i've been lucky. i'm just considered a nut case by my wife for my love (and interest) of cars. at least there were...

bluewasp, perhaps you have a secret key to the vault over there at zip, but when i search for interior paint, paint, or just about anything else related to paint, all i can come up with is interior "dye" which of course is for restoring seats and trim (plastic) stuff. it is not designed for...

i am about to start on the complete replacement of the interior on my '78 pace car. i am replacing everything back to all the walls (so to speak). my steering column needs to be freshened up a bit (like a complete repaint, lol), but i can't seem to find anyone that sells the correct silver paint...

way to go, barry! btw, i think your wife is on to something, lol! you could do worse for a daily driver, lol!!

FYI the cost for the dealer invoice is $50.00. i was able to get one for my 78 and was surprised by how prompt their service was. one work of advice however. the copy arrives in a plain legal size envelope that looks like it could be junk mail. i almost trashed it without opening it. luckily...

i know the folks from al knoch are members here. now might be a great time for them to lend a hand! perhaps you could send them a PM and get a public reply for all of us about to embark on a similar project, to share.

that is the correct part for a 78 L48 engine. there is a one outlet airscoop that is mounted on top of the radiator and the single snorkle air cleaner is attached to it via a flexible tube about 6 inches or so long. there are also foam pieces that extend outward from the duct on either side of...

i have a 78 and to the best of my knowledge there is no wiper override switch. i believe what is being referred to is the cavuum override (similar to the headlight door vacuum override on your car) that was on earlier corvettes with the vacuum operated wipe door (pre-73 for sure). my best...

barry, no argument from me. in my geographic area, the price you negotiated is virtually unheard of on a complete repaint, lol!! i think even you would have to admit that your price is a great deal and not one that can be found easily in most areas of the country. in south florida, there are...

c3 registry been there, done that, couldn't figure out any reasons to go back, however. i guess i would if i found myself in need of help and could find someone local to me with a similar vehicle to call for assistance, but with the web, virtually all that info is available instantaneously. as...

in my opinion, you need to establish a few things before deciding on a fair price. first, can you get the car running?? if so, after allowing for adequate warm up etc, what is the general condition of the ngine?? smoking?? knocking?? etc. they you need to figure if there is enough of it that...

and your asking price??????????????????

for what it's worth, the ps pump on my 78 pace car is original and is also a PITA to get to and to remove the cap to effectively check the fluid level. i guess it's nice to see that GM thought enough of this design to carry it forward for many years, lol!
