The only thing I can find on Mako Shark Corvettes is the information on the concept cars. The xp-755 or Mako SharkII was shown in 1965, and gave a glimpse of the the C3, but that's not a 1973. I know GM does a lot of strange things that never make it past test stages, and aren't intended for...

The secret to no streaks... Use Newspaper instead of paper towels. Works with most any glass cleaner. For my car windows, I use either Armor All Glass cleaner, or, when that's not handy, simple windex. The secret is in the Newspaper, but don't use the colored adds, just the black and white...

Crutchfield??? Crutchfield is pretty good about having all the stuff you need for stereo installation. If they don't have it in the magazine, you can find it online or call. http://www.crutchfield.com/S-hWRcU9jzsS1/ I've had some good experience with their products. They also have very...

I like em all, but... Well, what can I say? I voted for 80-82 because my first Vette, the one I currently, have is an 81, and at this point, I plan on keepin her forever :D. I love all of the Sharks, from the Raw Horsepower Steel Bumpers, to the Sun Lovin Cruisers of the late 70s early 80s. I...

well.... If you are going to make a hopped up project car, I would suggest an '81 over an '82 simply because the only transmission offered on an '82 is an Auto. Any self-respecting street machine has a 4-speed right? :D :J Also, from what I've heard from others, it's easier to deal with the...

Thanks! Thanks Ken. I have lots of time in between some of my classes during the week, and having this article will not only answer my question, but it will aslo give me something to do. I appreciate it. T Jay

Hello everyone, boy what a busy summer! Now that I'm back in school, I have time and a faster connection so I can keep up to date with the CAC. To my question: Because my 1981 has such a low compression engine, and was made to run on the regular unleaded gas of the 80's, would running premium...

Thanks for the info Steve. Now I know to plan on having at least 2 days for the head gaskets, just so I don't rush anything or forget anything. I should actually do the brake lines and stuff first though. It'll all get done some day soon, I hope. Again, thanks. T Jay

Not an option but.... From everything I've read, when GM decided to go with the 85 mph speedo, there were no other options, even in Corvettes. 85 was standard in hopes to keep people from going so fast, and for insurance reasons or something. It's already been mentioned that Eckler's sells 165...

I have two simple questions for all you repair guys and gals: 1. What is your best guess for the time it will take to replace two head gaskets? 2. Anyone have a cost estimate to replace all of the brake lines and power steering lines? hope everyone's summer is going great and everyone is...

Looks Good JT Your ZR looks good, makes me want one too! That's a good engine pic, I hope mine comes out that good, if I ever get it developed. I think that engine would look even better in my '81 :L :L :L . Maybe someday.:J T Jay

Hey, if you're really lucky, he'll pay you to take it away!!!:D :D :D :J max

As of current:D I'm an Art Major with my concentration being Graphic Design. I'm not sure where I'll go from there. Right now, I probably won't get into much car design, although, I admit, it would be awesome to do that for a living. I just don't think I have quite enough talent in drawing cars...

Thanks BBB454. Of course, I'm still working on it, and debating whether or not to add color. I might take it over to the college computer lab and make it nice and pretty in photoshop:D . But before I do that, I still have some pencil work to do. For those of you who are curious, my C6 started...

Hopefully a pic of my drawing... My computer :r has been on the fritz lately, so I don't know if attaching my pic will work, but here goes anyways. max

working on it... I'll definately scan a pic for everyone to see, but first I have to clean it up a bit and make it more presentable :D. When I do get it posted, you'll definately see the shark influence. :J max

Has anyone seen the newest artist renderings for the C6??? They look to much like a viper, and they are to edgy for me. Oh, by the way, I'm talking about the drawings in May 2001 Road and Track. They should let me design it :D :D (j/k), but I'd like to see a return to a body style similar to the...

Thnx Bunches!!! Hey, thanks for the links Scott. I checked em out, and both are cheaper than Mid Am, Ecklers, and the rest. I'll definately keep them bookmarked so I can order some carpet as soon as I get home. I can't wait :) !!! It'll be so nice to have unstained carpet in my Vette. Think...

Summer is rapidly approaching, and now's the time for me to start considering what I can buy for my Vette :D. The one thing I need to get is a complete interior carpet set. Any suggestions on where to get one??? Any experience with the following... Ecklers Mid America Corvette Central Zip...

When I got my Vette, the rear speakers were behind the wheel wells facing almost straight forward. They might have been slightly turned in, but they were definately at the back of the wheel wells, flush with the rear of the luggage compartment. I hope that helps. 'Cept, I took mine out and...
