    richscorvettes article in Corvette Fever

    Excellent article in the June Corvette Fever on the how to's of selecting a car trailer by Rich Lagasse. A lot of good information. And based on the trailer in the photos, Rich's eye for perfection extends beyond his Corvettes. Thanks for sharing your experiences and learnings.

    Question about my build job number

    I have read that these job numbers ran from 1 to 500, but what does the "s" stand for? It's an AO Smith body. Dropped my original drippy tank and put in a new Quanta. Unfortunately, my mechanics chops came up a bit short and I couldn't for the life of me get the tank and new straps to move 3/4...

    What ever happened to Nickeys?

    I was reading Dannoman's thread about Chicago dealerships, and got to wondering... My '65 came from Nickey Chevrolet. I tried to research the dealership on the web, but can't find much info other than it's not around anymore (and that they built some monster Camaros and Chevelles back in the...

    Diamondback goldlines

    My new Diamondback Supreme goldlines just arrived and they look great. Thought I'd share a photo with the forum. Ron from Diamondback Classics was really helpful and the order only took a week to complete. They did a nice job removing the DOT and other misc markings from the face of the tires -...

    C2 - headlight motor rebuild question

    Pulled, disassembled and cleaned my headlight motors. I have a question regarding the drive gear - it has the nylon washer on one side, and the flat and curved washers on the other. When assembled, the curved washer puts a lot of tension on the drive gear. Can someone tell me why this is so? My...

    Slightly OT - Vettes of Barrett-Jackson

    Have you seen the list of Corvettes going up for auction at B-J this month? There must be over 100 - and probably half of those are C1/C2s. Just about all of them are Top Flight/Gold/Duntov... yikes. They have pictures and a short bio of each car on the website (www.barrett-jackson.com). It will...

    C2 - seat foam advice

    I'm in the process of correcting the seat mis-match in my '65 (there are '67 leather headrest seats in there now). I've found a set of '65 seats and new black vinyl covers. I am gathering up the remaining pieces - new seat backs, some hardware - and seat foam. There is quite a price difference...

    C2 - twist on the stuck hood latch problem

    I read earlier posts on how to unlatch the hood if the release cable breaks - but my problem is a bit different. The drivers side unlatches but not the passenger side. Does the passenger side latch have the same release lever underneath as the drivers side? Also, any idea what would cause one...

    C2 - approximating build date from VIN

    In reading posts here, I come across threads where members seem to connect their car's VIN number to a build month. Is there a way to figure the build month from the sequence number in the VIN? Is it... 23,452 cars built in 1965, thats 1954 per month, so car number 19,875 (guess who's car that...
