Hi Guys, I just bought a Lionel Corvette Train Set made in 1999. I have never seen or read about this set and happened to just find it on Ebay, by accident. After some deal making, it became mine. I was wondering if anyone out there knows anything about this like, was it a GM promotion in...

ammeter One wire goes to the horn relay and the other goes to the starter. Look at the wiring diagram for the routing of each wire. Find the horn relay and you will see a black wire with a white tracer (B/W), that's one of them. Find the starter and you will see a solid black wire going to the...

Thanks for the tip, Tom. I tried to access the info but, since I don't belong to the NCRS anymore, I was denied that access.

Can someone tell me exactly where the proper place is for the convertible top weatherstrip wedges. Thanks!

Wow Gene, You are on a mission. Down to the fibers? You are a better man than I. I sure hope you NAIL this problem. (Then I can do what you did----maybe:D). Seriously, if you score a solution to this unpopular problem, there will many out there that will be in your debt, professional and...

Thanks porch dog. At this point, I'll try anything. Joe:ugh

Help! Oil substance in '65 body I was planning to work on that project this summer, but it looks like I'll, at least, have to look for more of that product while there may be some left. It never fails, whenever you find a product that works, it winds up being discontinued!!! Good luck to you...

Help! Oil substance in '65 body Hello Gene, Boy, that's not good at all. I only have a small amount left. I'm in trouble too. Good luck to each of us, then. Joe

Many years ago I restored a friends '72. He had started to take it apart for the resto. Then he married and moved to his new home where the car sat in his old garage. The hood was stripped to the bare 'glass and he had laid the A/C compressor ON THE HOOD and the refridgerant oil leaked into the...

Hi Brett, Welcome to the CAC! Some answers to some of your questions: Your #(3)--- These cars really had no "tank sticker" that told you how the car was equipped or anything. That didn't start until 1967. So, all you can do is get all your Corvette books you ordered (especially The Technical &...

Well, I did some thinkin'. Right now, I'm in the middle of custom fabricating individual retainers for that lower rear window trim. I already have 9 made and I'll be working to get 9 more done so I can put that window back in. It's funny how creative you're forced to be in order to save a buck...

Soooo how DO you get that retainer off the ss trim properly? Also, where do I get the replacement piece?

Well, I got all the inside chrome off as well as the trim around the window and the rear window itself. I haven't gotten the nerve to remove that front header molding yet. I did remove the front header weatherstrip which was like a saltine cracker. The rivets I was refering to earlier, turned...

I'm probably going to need a picture of this top when it's done.

OK, here I thought the fastener that held the retainer for the header trim was secured by a roundhead, rivet-like object that had a spiral, splined shape to it. Kind of like the license lens screw shoulder that I think might be on your '63(s). Maybe I'm thinking of my '71 front parking lamp lens...

Yeah! $$$ is where the problem lies.:eyerole

Is that dash pad custom made or is it a standard molded one that you can order? It looks too good to be the later.

Hi Guys, I kind of agree with the thought of '61 & '62 Vettes having a certain magic about them. Case in point: Back in the '70's I did my first restoration-a body off on a '62. It took me 4 years to finish and when I did, I was disappointed with it because I was used to driving C/2 Sting Rays...

c/1 hardtop work Hi firstgear, I gotta tell ya, that car is real nice just from the few pictures I saw. I'm not a fan of the red/black interior like the c/5 Z06's have on some of them but, it sure seems to work for the looks on your car. Very tastefully done. The trunk should have been done...

c/1 hardtop header molding removal Hi firstgear, Wow! That was nice of you to go to the trouble of such a reply. I subscribe to the phrase, "A picture is worth a thousand words". You not only did the picture, you threw in the thousand words part too. Thank you. Where can I get the correct tool...
