    I've got a '73 vert and am courious if anyone's run into any problems replacing the front bumper. I ordered a Tru Flex bumper and it simply doesn't fit. There's a good 1 1/2" gap between the bumper and the fiberglass of the front of the car. At issue is the bumper frame structure. It seems...

    News: New exhaust

    I finally got my new 2 1/2" exhaust and Power Stix chambered mufflers on my car today. The sound is unbelievably good. The bigger pipe absolutely lets the motor breathe much better and the car is running and sounding like a raped ape. If anyone is considering chambered exhaust/mufflers, I...

    Question: Insurance question

    I had a friend of mine replace the rear leaf spring on my '73 and after that I asked him to drop the car off at a buddy's shop for new exhaust. On the way due to axiom of "shit happens", the lug nuts weren't properly tightened (don't ask) on a back wheel. It fell off and resulted in a cracked...

    Question: '73 hood heat shield.

    I'm needing some advice from the obviously more leaned C3 owners. I own a 73 and am wanting to buy a head shield for the hood. The car originally comes with an air cleaner that has a "collar" that forms a seal with the top of the air cleaner and the hood. Since I bought the car without it's heat...

    Wrong generation Corvette wheels.

    Please someone correct me if I'm being snooty or behaving guilty of a Corvette enthusiast faux pas... but am I the only one who cringes a little when he sees the wrong generation wheels on a Corvette? I'm finding it a little hard on the eyes to see C4 or C5 wheels on C3 cars. I'm all about...

    Exhaust tips

    I just purchased 2 1/2" chambered exhaust for my C3 and ordered some 2 1/2" tips from a web site I'm not inclined to mention at the moment. Long story short, the web site is stalling me with my order it seems. I shopped for quite a while looking for '73 tips that were 2 1/2". They seem to be...
