Here are a couple of views of our '71. There are more on our website including pictures of the installation.

At the 50th Anniversary celebration in Bowling Green we had a calllage done by this place. http://www.classiccarcollages.com/ I think it turned out pretty nice. I don't know if this is the same vendor or not.

I don't remember which model they are, but this is where 69MyWay got his wheels. http://www.hvydeez.com/

We welded the seams on our frame and reinforced the front cross-member. You may be able to find a picture that will help you on our website. http://www.tropiczoneracing.com/Rebuild.htm

Thanks guys! All the C3's look great! :m If any of you are going to OctoberVettes in Orlando, look us up.

Here are a couple of our rebuilt '71l

Take a look at our frame off restoration and you can see what it entails. http://www.tropiczoneracing.com/Rebuild.htm This was a 2 year project. :Steer

We used the filler pieces, either from Ecklers or maybe MidAmerica. Here are pics of b4 paint and after.

I think if you use the early model trim pieces it should be no problem. Yes, our trim piece is indented/cutout by the window clips. They had to be custom fit anyway because of the roll bar. Dave

This is the best picture I could find of our interior. I don't know if it willh help or not.

Too easy. Seriously, I thought it might be advantageous to be able to change gear ratios easily.

According to the dyno sheet it's putting out just under 700 lbs feet of torque, but the dyno it was on is known to be very conservative. I never had this trouble with the full race 355 and road race slicks!

Thanks for the help. I will take a look.

I believe the yokes were forged steel with hardened tips (for wear). They sure look crystalized. It looks like it will be cheaper for me to go with a quick change than to buy the available heavy duty aftermarket pieces required. At least those are my thoughts at the moment. We will...

drag vette Do you know anything about the types of suspension on the c-3s? Looking for options.

I think it's become clear that the IRS is going to have to be changed to something stronger, :hb but, not one of those f*** rear ends. I'm seriously looking into copying the Olds (our race car) rear set-up, which will be a racing quick-change grafted onto the Vette. Either a 3 or 4 link...

Here's a couple of pics of my hood. http://www.tropiczoneracing.com/images/06.29.03.0036.GAGE.jpg http://www.tropiczoneracing.com/images/06.29.03.0032.GULDSTRAND.jpg

They work even better in the collectors.

We have an evacuation system on our big block. If you look at the picture, it shows the original installation, but we had to raise the valves to keep them from burning, so don't put them too close to the headers. We also changed to the silicon hose as it stands up to the heat better...

We had a welder friend fabricate the roll hoop in our 71 coupe. We wanted it to stiffen the car a little, offer some protection and allow us to bolt up the 5-pt harnesses. We have just enough clearance to get the rear window out...not a 1/4" to spare. With the seats back most people don't...
