I remember back in the 60's product launch was a very exciting time. Vehicals were usually released in late August and if you caught a glimpse of one before then it was something to talk about. Styles usually changed every year, different tail lights, grill and major makeovers about every 3-4...

Ugly!...maybe they should have gone with the 73 AeroVette concept car and modify the back a bit 1973 Chevrolet Aerovette Concept Images, Information and History (Experimental, Gull-Wing) | Conceptcarz.com

Been cold for a week so decided this would be the last drive of the year...sure was a great season :w

Had a great weekend hanging out at the Edmonton Rocky Mountain Nationals, 3 days of race car smells and sounds. It was a little dissapointing from previous years with IHRA dropping Pro Stock, Alcohol funny car etc also wasn't as good of a turn out from Top Fuel or Pro Mods as in previous years...

sounds like wheel balance to me...try swapping wheels front to rear Could be bad tire, unbalanced wheel/tire Drivetrain vibration would be felt in the seat of your pants

mmm lets see...SRIII frame, LS7 motor, 6 speed, new interior and paint.:D Wonder what shape the car was in? probably bad frame etc

Much better now! When I bought the car it had 131,000 miles on it with many of the original ball joints , tie rods etc..the thing had about a 1/2 turn play in the steering. I only drove the car 4 miles before the frame off but it was long enough to know it was shot. The car is a no option car...

2 reasons...first being money, I decided to break the project down into 2 phases , chassis restoration,body structure followed by phase 2 paint & interior . I wanted to get the car to a driving stage, this way I could enjoy driving it:lou, work out any mechanical bugs rather than have it sit in...

:beer I agree, took me about 2 years for mine to get to driver stage, just have to do a small project each night or 2...I still need to do paint & interior one day..for now i'm enjoying the ride:thumb all of the pictures...

mine did the same, replacing the flasher unit behind the passenger dash pad solved the problem.:beer

I changed mine this winter, I just , reached up and pushed the retaining clip with one finger while wiggling the cable out with the other fingers;LOL its a tight fit...then when I pulled the firewall grommet out it just crumbled. I fried my cable because the distributor was indexed wrong and...

Well I have put about 500 miles on the Vette since its frame off and felt confident enough to take it for its first road trip, ran flawlwss as an old Chevy should! First thing in the morning, wife and son at work, full tank of gas....where should I go? mmm this is going to be an expensive...

If they will pay a couple of hundred bucks for NOS bolts on Ebay your windshield will be like gold :D

Well after a 2.5 year frame off I finally wrapped up phase 1 with a wheel alignment and inspection today. What a rush to drive it around, seems the more I drive it the better it feels. maybe everthing is just settling in. This is the first time I have driven it more than 4 miles. So far...

Correct, this was the original setup used, the car has the cowl induction hood :)

Here are a few more shots as I near completion....just going crazy at the thought of driving it soon!!

Agreed, I had the front of my car on ramps , lubed the hose with dish washing soap and coaxed it on . felt like I was up and down like a yoyo for a while working it on but eventually got it.

:w Thanks for all the great comments, really appreciate them. I only drove the car 4 miles when I took it in for the safety (it flunked) but it was enough to give me the motivation for a frame off...a few more weeks and I should be able to get some serious seat time. Build sheet shows a...

absolutely!!, its a great feeling when the car has been stripped to bare frame and motor torn down to bare block and you reassemble it over a year....then the big moment comes to turn the key and your mind is racing wondering if you forgot to torque something or did I remember to check that...

Thanks!, I have had the car 2 years this month, I spent the first 6 months gathering manuals, researching body off restos and redoing my garage in preparation for the project. Body came off Oct 2006 and I started it for the first time this weekend, figure I have another month or so before its...
