    79-82 Tinted Rear Window Insert???

    I got mine from Mid-America two years ago. As stated above, it is not too difficult to put in or remove for cleaning. I don't drive the car in bad weather or the winter, so I am not sure how or if it would affect the rear defogger.

    Car is finally painted !!

    Very nice paint and wheels. I especially liked seeing that you didn't have to take the car completely down to bare fiberglass. My ' 79 is red/red with both sets of T-tops and seeing yours car gives me something to strive for. Nice job!!!

    Rear Grinding Sounds

    OK all, I'm looking for advice again. This week I FINALLY got my 79 on the road. It has been a long, slow process putting in my Kiesler 5-speed, new interior and true dual exhaust system. Coming home from work yesterday I decided to get off the x-way to drive the car a bit. When accelerating...

    Recommended Thermostat

    Thanks to all who have chimed in. There is also a 7 page discussion going on in the C4 forum about the same topic. Two years ago I had to have my radiator repaired because of a leak. At that time, I also had all of the hoses replaced. I didn't even think about replacing the thermostat or water...

    I have a leaking water pump on my 79 L-82, I am planning on replacing it with a Stewart Short Stage 2 pump. They recommend also replacing the thermostat and recommend either a 160 or 180 degree Robert Shaw unit. I've searched the forum and can't find any articles or specifications on the...

    Linkage replacement

    Thanks, Tom. I too am not a mechanic. I use the manuals and hope to get everything back together correctly. I was just trying to save spending a couple hundred plus to buy a new shifter. Tom

    Linkage replacement

    Shifter linkage I too am starting to do some work on my 79 shifter and linkage. Tomtom72 brings up a concern that I hadn't thought about. I bought a shifter rebuild kit and I assume I will have to remove the shifter to get these parts replaced, but I didn't think that this would cause an...

    Reflections on Carlisle and the 2005 C6 Corvette

    Carlisle Rob, Very nice summary of the activity at Carlisle. The dash at night is awesome. I got to see it lit up after dark while we walked among the hundreds of cars that made the "cruise" to downtown Carlisle. The only disappointment was seeing a PINK C6 from Kerbeck. I hope they repaint...

    GPS Tracking System

    Has anyone added a GPS or Lojac type tracking system to their C3? Since seeing that C3 era Corvettes are among the most stolen cars, I think I'm getting paranoid and thinking of adding a security system to my '79. Any info would be appreciated.

    Fan Shroud Removal

    Thanks to all who have offered their suggestions. I wonder what manual you have to buy to get this information. The two I have sure don't address these problems.
