    Hi bee jay,
    I have used your console template to add 2-5/8” gauges to the center console, but did you lay the new gauge panel over top of the old console gauge panel, and use the old one to fasten the new one? Basically using the old console face to bolt the new one on. Also did you use 1/8” Material or 1/4”. I want to use 1/4”.

    Thanks

    If you want, call me at 215.582.4358. We can talk about measurements you want. I have to go down to our engine shop to see if There is a LS7 crank not in a block. I am in Pa and leave work at 2:30 eastern time.

    Hi Bee Jay, is your car lowered in front, i was looking at some 26" tall 17" tire sizes and was concerned I would not fill the fender well, yours however looks great!
    Thanks, Ken

    I was wondering if you could point me in the direction needed to get my hands on the chin spoiler and rear spoiler that you have?

    HI Bee Jay,

    You have a beautiful car. Can I ask you a question? What did you go with for an air intake system? I'm trying to find something that will work on my 76 L82 sm350. Concerned about hood clearance. I have an Edelbrock RPM intake manofold and Holly carb.
    Thanks

    Man, I don't want to do any of all that. Lawyers? Heck, let's just call ourselves a club and informally elect officers. No dues, no bylaws, no lawyers. KISS. I belong to a very informal car club here locally and we get together about twice a year over barbeque with the wives and we wrench together maybe six times a year. We haven't even elected a leader. We just get together and communicate via email mostly. Nothing formal. But I'm just one vote. We got formal institutional Corvette Clubs to join locally, if they will have us. We can pay dues there. JMHO.
