    Carpet installation, lesons learned

    Last weekend we installed a new carpet set in a 1980. I won't bore you with all the details, but here are some of the things we wouldn't do differently next time: 1) Do the little parts first. Speaker grills, kick panels. These things take a lot of time. The kick panels have staples in...

    1972 Alarm Horn

    Does anyone know where to get one of these? I can't find one anywhere. The alarm horn isn't shapped at all like the "regular" horn, or the alarm horns on latter models. It has a long trumpet shape to it. -Gooney

    Batt. Gauge

    Its seems I screwed something up while replacing my horn relay. The Batt. gauge (in the center console) no longer works. I left one of the leads to the horn relay loose by accident, then reconnected it. Perhaps I've killed a fusible link? How can I tell if one of the links is dead? I...

    Repainting Rally wheels

    I've got original 15x8 rally wheels on a 1972 and the gray/silver paint isn't looking too good. I've found the correct spray paint. Is there anything I should be doing to prep the wheels before painting? Any tips that produce better results? Thanks guys, -Gooney0

    White walls and letters

    Here is a quick tip while i'm thinking about it. I use "Clorox Soft Scrub with Bleech" to clean white letters and white walls. You put it on with a brush, then hose it off. Doesn't discolor the rubber either. The soft scrub without bleech doesn't work very well though. -Gooney0 P.S. Its...

    door jamb switches on 72 coupe

    My door jamb switches were missing so I bought two new ones. Trouble is I don't see how they are supposed to work. It looks like a single wire attaches to the back of each switch. I would've expected the switch to screw into the otherwise metal body to act as a ground. But I don't see how it...

    Tires

    I am looking for options on tires for a '72 coupe. My Dunlop GT Qualifiers (245/60/15) are dry rotted and in need of replacement. I've seen sharks at the Vette dealer with 255/60/15's on them. So my questions are: What sizes to people use and why? Which brands are best? and perhaps the...
