    What do you think?

    Like I just can't leave well enough alone. Do you think my 72 War Bonnet Yellow coupe would look really cool with War Bonnet Yellow rims showing between the center cap and trim rings? Not an original thought, I heard Ken and my wife talking of such things at the show this past weekend...

    Wire harness tape

    Does anyone know of a local (central FL) source for the non sticky black plastic wrap used from the factory to bundle electrical wires? Auto Zone, Advance, NAPA and the chevy dealership all say no. It is available from Paragon but jeeze:shrug01: :toetap05: :toetap05:

    A/C wiring?

    I was at an A/C shop today and was told that a jumper wire had been used to leave a switch out of the A/C circuit. I immediately went to my handy dandy wiring diagram only to find no wiring shown for a 72 w/ A/C. The wire in question is a green wire coming from the A/C compressor. It travels...

    72 Rear window tray

    OK guys, I have my eye on an original rear window tray for my 72. Do any of you'se guys out there have a C3 with tray? Mine had been removed prior to my purchase. I'm interested about mounting points in the body. The tray would be nice for that "wind through the hair" run without T tops or...

    OK I must ask.....

    Guy's are ya'll aware of the NPR rule? I was personally told by a wise ole vintage (male) corvette owner of the "rule". Ladies "bare" with me here. I faithfully adhere to the "rule" and believe we guys should adhere at every opportunity. What say you? Ray, Steve I have faith that you guys...

    Next resoration project....

    I have a leak in an original radiator (72 BB with manual) Being that the radiator is 35+ years old I think replacement is in order. I have a few questions. 1) Is an original radiator the best bet, they cooled only fairly well back then? 2) Would a modern version like a Be Cool radiator be a...

    Brake issues, back here again

    Found the mis-behavin plug wire and got that corrected so, of course, off for a ride...... Well let me start this at the beginning. A few weeks ago when I was doing numerous small things to the vette I took some slack out of the emergency brake cable. Drove her and felt like the rear brakes...

    Static issues

    OK guys you get to help with another bit of problem resolution. When I got "Goldie" she had an after market POS radio cut into her gauge bezel and it sounded like pooooooooo with static too. Soooooo as the (obviously) intelligent person I R. I promptly ordered a new gauge bezel with Pioneer...

    Spark plug wires

    OK how many of you out there have had the unparalleled pleasure of changing plug wires on a 454 BB with A/C? I haven't had this much fun since my last car accident. My colleges of great experience, tell me some tricks of the trade. I'm ok on all but the right side front two wires OMG. I'm...

    Static supression

    In the "modernization" of my 72 I replaced the gauge bezel with an available custom bezel containing a Pioneer CD player. All else has been left as manufactured but a man's gotta have some "Buffet" to listen to ya known what I'm sayin? The former bezel had some piece of poop and it had to go...

    A/C charging

    I'm sitting here looking at the south end of my A/C compressor trying to determine which is the high pressure side and which is the side I actually charge. It's a factory unit on a 72 BB. Can anyone offer an easy answer? :confused: :confused:

    I'm looking at an Eckler's speaker unit.

    It's seems to be designed for C3's and from the description it might fit perfectly against the back wall without sucking up too much space. Consists of three pieces, two speaker units of 3 speakers and and center foam section. But even Eckler's tech unit confussed me a bit concerning fit. Has...

    OK Gonna do it......

    Gonna convert to power brakes. My only question is how much of a pain in the arse is it to install a PB booster? Everything else is a breeze. Next major project will be power steering and BTW wasn't the NCRS show great. Got to find all kinds of little goodies I wanted. :dancer01: :dancer01:

    In 72 they didn't offer......

    One thing I noticed on my first road trip today is a major blind spot on the right side of the car. I want to add a R side mirror (NCRS might not laud the idea but) Do the mirrors offered my mid america and such have backing plates and templates for location? Has anyone gone down this trail...

    starnge thing

    strange thing I have begun noticing an intermittent action by my drivers side headlight. Went to the gas station yesterday (lights properly retracted) and when I shut down the Vette the L. side headlight came up. It went back down as soon and I restarted the car. I got home and put her in the...

    tighten up the mirror head on a 72 C3 outside mirror. Base is secure but head wants to move too freely. Could epoxy but want to see it others have found cleaner solutions :shrug01:
