A little background information leading up till now. My '02 had been slow to start about the last 4 or 5 times. Had to roll the key twice and then it should start. Then one morning it would not start period. It would roll over all day long but wouldn't start. Tried it 2 days later and it started...

I took care of (2) problems today and I got a new one. I didn't have any cluster or gauge lights so I replaced the headlight dimmer switch and that took care of that problem. My low fuel light wasn't working and I removed the glove box liner several times and then ended up pulling out the gauge...

My courtesy lights are staying on as well as my gauge lights on my 2002 vette. Eventually my courtesy lights will go off after about 10 minutes but the gauge lights stay on. This has caused the battery to run down a few times. The problem is not constant. Sometimes they go off like they should...

When I first turn the ac on in my '02, the ac smells really bad for a few minutes and then it is ok. What are some of the things I need to do to correct this?Thanks,Brad

The last couple times I drove my '81 the oil pressure gauge pegs out. It comes back down after I shut the engine off but pegs as soon as I fire her up. Any thoughts? thanks, Brad

A friend of mine has a '74 Dark Green with the 454 engine. I looked in my black book but it didn't list how many of each color were made. Does anybody have these numbers? thanks, Brad

Sometimes you never know about people. Last week, I agreed to buy a '77 from VirtualVettes. I explained that it would be a week before I would be able to come and pick up the vette which was ok with her. After a couple of phone calls and emails, everything was set up. I would pick up the vette...

Hey guys, I am needing to replace my 85mph speedo head. I prefer to replace it with another 85mph but I will take what I can get. Can anybody point me in the right direction? thanks, Brad

I was going to work this morning and topped a hill and then there was some roadkill on the road (a dog, I think) and ran right over the top of it. Body wise, it only messed up the lower air dam and small area of the front bumper. After I hit it, the radio lost power, the horn started honking...

My horn is possessed. Please help. It goes off for no particular reason. It really likes to go off when there is a crowd aroung looking at my vette. The horn cap is a little loose. I have tried to take it off and see what is going in there but I don't know the procedures to do that. Can anyone...

I think I have pinpointed the source of my squeak to the speedometer. I have a rebuilt transducer and two new speedo cables. The speedometer works fine but the squeak gets louder the slower that I go. Besides not slowing down, does anybody have any suggestions as to what needs to be done...

Its in the shop now. I am replacing the front urethane bumper with a fiberglass bumper. It might be done this week. I'll post pics of it when I get it back.

My cousin started up his '81 today and the headlights popped up while he was revving up the engine. The lights were off but will come on when he pulls the light switch out. But the headlights will not go down. I looked in my Haynes manual and they mentioned a manual control valve but didn't say...

I thought that I would post some pics of the work that I have been doing on my '81 vette.

The bulb was missing that illuminated the low fuel warning so I popped a bulb in and now the light stays on all the time. Any ideas on how I fix this to work like it should? thanks, Brad

I would like to freshen up the trim in the back hatch with some black spray paint. What type of paint do you guys/gals recommend? Semi-gloss?? Satin?? Flat?? thanks, Brad

Does anybody have a set of these on now and if so what do you think about them? I've got it narrowed down to either these or the eagle II's. thanks, Brad

Did our 81's come with the hood insulation like the earlier C3's? The reason that I'm asking is because I have a few blisters in the paint on my hood caused by engine heat. I have seen in the vette catalogs the hood insulation for earlier years but not for the later C3's. Just wandering...

I will be putting a set of tires on the '81 soon and I like the looks of the outline white letter tires. Does anybody know what tire brands offer the outline white letter tires nowadays?? and pics would be great!! thanks, Brad

Hello everybody, I just got my '81 a couple of weeks ago and although it needs a little bit of work and is in the shop right now, I am proud to have it.
