Congratulations again, this time on number 4.

Of the DOT approved race tires, the Hoosier bias ply is probably the best for the old cars. I have not tried the Hoosier competition radials, but based on the word of a friend of mine who is a national level-SCCA competitor and ran C3's for 25 years, the radial does not work as well on the older cars. That's not to say the radial isn't a great tire, I get beaten by them frequently, but those are on C4's. I have not tried the Kumho Victoracer, but I haven't seen too many C3's with these, either. The BFG Comp T/A is not a competition tire, it's a street tire.

Re: My wife and the Vette

My wife likes to pose

Can we get some close up shots

Car looks very good. I think it looked good before, as well after. What color silver did you use?

 

[LIRacer]

I used almost Steel Cities Gray. I had the slight bluish tint taken out. It's a PPG two part.

The picture of my wife is kinda small. I couldnt post a bigger one cuz of the memory limitations.

This is what it looks like now......

What size rims and tires do you have on the car? They really look great.

I just bought my first corvette (1972) a couple of days ago and it is being shipped across country right now and I should be receiving it this weekend. It's a project car that is primered down right now. The original color is steel cities gray, but I have seen some pictures of it and it just doesn't stand out to me. I like the color gray for my car, but steel city just looks kind of dull to me. Your gray looks awsome. I am looking at every new gray/silver car right now to try and find something I really like.

Car looks fantastic!!! Nice job. What size wheels and tires are you running? My 'C3 is gray, and I was thinking of those wheels for mine.
