I put Nitto NT555 on the 1993 at the start of summer in the factory sizes...really sticky rubber. This last month I noticed the 1994 had some pretty bad weather checking on the BF Goodrich tires so I also replaced them with Nitto's 275/40 17 on the front and 285/40 17 in the rear. Slightly...
On my 73 I figured while it was apart I would update the Heater Core, Fan, all the seals.....The Assembly Manuel has been a great help to the guys doing the work.

I would mix up some JB Weld in a Altoids Tin...heat it with a hair drier slightly and it will turn to a self leveling liquid. Apply to the crack to fill and let it harden then sand or file if needed.

Issues fixed and it runs.......does it ever run....sound more like a quarter mile car than a driver.

I ordered a complete interior, seat cushions, covers, dash cap, door panels, carpet, A Pillars, T-Top head liners and the list goes on. I ordered it all from Ecklers and took advantage of 15-20 off codes they sent out monthly.
Most everything came from Corvette America.

I was surprised to find out I have no Mufflers on my 1994. Previous owner had replaced the pipes from the Cat's back with a dimpled 2.75 inch pipe, Muffler replacement pipe......Sounds great and it is not that load. I replaced the dual round tips with flat rectangle chrome tips that fit the rear...

I install off road dual outlet mufflers on my 1973 350 with who knows what replacement motor it had. Upgraded to 2.5 inch pipes and it sounded great. But the 350 I found out was a truck motor and just didn't run anything like I had expected.
This weekend we dropped in a 375 HP 350, headers and...
I bought two of them and have been working on Polishing them up. I also bought smooth Intake tubes to clean up the air flow......I don't know it they work or not but clean air in should make a difference.

So I bought this 1973 Corvette and it was nice to start with until I didn't think it wasn't up to par.
Finding I bought 40 years worth of neglect I started buying stuff the right the wrong done by time.
New Bushings, sway bars, springs (front and rear) shocks, hoses, bearings and I forget...
