Sometimes you have to take matters in to your own hands... This is the one I made using a 1/18 Bburago C5 and bits and pieces of a 1/18 MM PT Cruiser... That's a lot of grinding on the wheelwells and cutting the hood and windshield. Then the paint is Testor's rattle can Candy Red over a...

The white coupes are showing up at KayBee stores for 12.99. A pretty decent diecast for the price... GT

I don't think I've ever seen a "Rat Rod" Vette before... GT

There was a Carmine/Mag Red club over at that "other" Corvette forum group, but it doesn't appear to be very active - last update Jan '04... '01 Mag Red II with Oak convert here - GT

AMT made a 1/25 scale plastic model car kit of the Eckler conversion in the late '70s. Looks pretty similar right down to the bubble taillights. Does the car have an opening hatchback? GT

Ecklers had a wide body conversion similar to this, available in the mid '70s. Does anybody remember the "Farrah Vette? GT

Unfortunately, the only diecast mid-year convertibles have been the Ertl 1/18th '67s, Hot Wheels 1/64th '65, and Johnny Lightning has had a few different 1/64th mid-year convertibles, but no '64 that I can remember. Revell also did a 1/24th '63 convertible in diecast, but that has been out of...

You want confusing - here in lovely Massachusetts if you have a "green" number plate you only need one. But, if you have a "red" number plate you need two! But then again, this is the state that gives you John Kerry - King of the flip-floppers"... GT

I think the red accents will look pretty good. And these aren't non-reversible mods. If you use the vinyl tape stripes, they can be removed. And the painted calipers can always be repainted gray or black later. When you start drilling holes and cutting things off that can't easily be...

Check your local WalMart for the Duplicolor caliper paint kit. The Wally near me had them for around 15 or 16 bucks and it's a fairly small store. They had the kits in Red or Yellow. I used the red kit this spring and found it to be real easy to work with and seems to be holding up pretty...

This show really brought a tear to my eye - my last Vette was a silver '87 that I owned for 15 years! GT

I can't believe it - Friday, I was watching this same crew "attempt" to remove the stock system off of a red coupe and they made the exact same mistake! They didn't discover what the problem was until they had removed and/or disconnected a whole bunch of stuff under the car. And these were...

Of course, you could enjoy both - have a Le Mans Blue "Grand Sport" style stripe put on the white car! Enjoy the new ride - GT

Contact ST Corvettes in New Bern, NC (1-800-635-8388). They are about an hour away from Edenton. I know they do inspections and appraisals. Ask for Jim - after 5:30 eastern...

And don't make the mistake of opening it while you're buzzing down the road with the top down. Wooops - 52 pickup, on the open road! Been there, done that - GT

OK, I finally got brave and ripped my trunk and interior apart for the CD changer installation. Everything went fairly smooth. I only broke 1 tab off the rear sill plate (glued back on - no sweat) and I had 1 screw left over - damned if I can figure where it came from!!! :confused Well...

Do you get the opportunity to fly many F-15's? Later - GT

Thanks bluecoupe. That should be a big help. Anybody have a guess on the actual trim panel removal? Hammer and cold chisel... Chainsaw... Jewelers screwdriver... Remember, I'm an aircraft mechanic and not very good with my hands! Tnx - GT

I was able to pick up an original equipment changer, mounting brackets, cartridge, and harness for under $300 on ebay. I just need to get brave and start tearing the car apart to install it. Which brings up my question - I don't see any screws in the sill plates or kick panels, so I'm sure...

Yes, the first time I had to pull the battery out of my '87 I went through the same thing. How the heck do you get that thing out of there... I finally broke down and got out the shop manual - step 1 - remove fender... Well, it turned out not to be a big deal... Not like the time I had to...
