Removing the dash pad can be a problem, but your's will remove just like my 76 and if done correctly, like petes74 outlined, you should have no problem, just go slow when removing the top and you will be fine, I have had mine out twice, once to replace it. Now three months after I replaced it...

I had mine redone in the leather look vinyl for Corvette Central and it looks great, not a sign of wear but it's only been about 7 months. Looks like the orginal leather but its vinyl.

The ones on east coast vettes looks like the same GM parts I put on.

I got my set from the dealer, part number 19170234. I don't remember exactly what they cost but I paid right at 120.00 for the set but if you order them you can do about 15 dollars better, not counting shipping, and the dealer had them no wait time. This site has pictures and installation...

What I do is jack the front first but my jack fits under the car so I can get it to the crossmember and I can jack the entire front of the car up at one time, I then put the jack stands at the frame rail jack points and lower the car on to the jack stands, of course you have to have the rear...

I put the Z06 style splash guards on my 08 and love them, they are very good looking and work good. I got mine at the local dealer but there are a couple of aftermarket parts house that sell them also, get the orginal GM manfactured ones. There is one place that will paint them the same color...

I though it was BS, did not sound right to me, Thanks for the part number.

What I do with my C3 is to drive it up on the ramps and then jack the front up some more at the cross member and but the jack stands under the frame rail jack points, then lower the car on to the jack stands so I can then remove the front wheels give's better access than leaving the car on the...

Ok, good news, I got the new handles installed last Friday and not one peep out of the top yet. The dealer was real nice this time and it only took them about 45 minutes and I was back on the road. I have not taken the top off yet, weather is not to nice, so not sure if removing it and...

Thanks Gerry will go look now, don't need any body work happily so thats not a issue and we have a couple of Maaco place's close by. Thanks

So, on the subject of Paint, my 76 needs a new coat bad and I don't know what it should cost, 3k or 10K? Don't want a "show car" but would like to have the orginal paint color and type. Can I save money by doing the pre work myself and what does "pre work" mean, sanding the entire car down to...

OH, he will replace them I am sure just how much BS I have to go thru. Will keep you posted.

Well I took mine in on Friday and when I got it back all the dealer did was lube the latches, I told him that the service bulletin said to replace the latches and he told me "no it said to lube them first and if that did not fix it the replace them". So I said ok and left drove around the block...

taking mine in on Friday for the fix, or at least for the Dealer to order the parts, he will not order the parts until he looks at the car:ugh so I made an appoitment, hope it fixes it. Will keep you posted.

Hey Tuna, Thanks for the analysis. Hope all is good with you. I sure enjoy driving the 08 over the 76 :). We need to take another cruise this spr

Sorry its been so long since I got back to this post, Great info here and Thanks to everyone for all the good information. :thumb I have not done anything to my 76 yet, after checking some of the things mentioned in this post its does not seem to be all that bad. Nothing has what I preceive as...

Ok, this may have been answered lots of time but I did not find it on my search. Will using 10% Ethanol have any effects on my 2008 C6? I understand it may have some reduced performance issues, not that I have noticed in the first 2500 miles, but any ideas on any long term issues? Gas with 10%...

Multimeter or at least a ground probe are a must, also a good shop light, needle nose plyiers and I agree you never can have too many tools, I made a living working on aircraft and had my own tools but ways always needing that one special tool I did not have, you will discover as you do each...

Thanks I am going to look at the thread.
