    Corvette fan since my cousin John bought his 65 coupe before deployment - Vietnam. Bought my first Corvette August 2010 (73 Coupe). Bought my 68 Roadster May 2011. I LOVE C3's - the earlier the better! After buying the 68, I gave the 73 to my two sons - why wait until my will is read to get their first Corvette?

    I noticed that you installed later vette model seats - was this difficult? I have a 73 with uncomfortable seats that I'd like to upgrade if possible. Thanks, Aaron

    Thanks Mike,

    They took some great shots of the car at LS Fest so I am looking forward to the spread, this will be the 2nd time it is in thier mag (it was on the cover a few years ago.. Corvette Fever). It is also in the Feb issue of Chevy Hi Performance! Gordon has spoken of you and I am always up to meeting Vette guys, hope to meet up with you sometime when I am at Gordons. His car is really coming along nice....can't wait for him to fire that up that LS3!! Have a great holiday!!

    My 73 has dashboard and floor lighting problems. Where can I find the fuse panel?

    Hey lupigiato73, The wheel size I am running is front 17x8 4'' back space with 245/45/17 and rear is 18x10 5.5 back space with 285/40/18. I had to narrow the rear spring, relocate the e-bake cable and remove the rear sway bar. The car is lowered two inches.
    Sounds like a lot of work to get the 10'' wheels to work under the car but it really wasn't, it was worth it to get the 285 rubber inside the fenders. I have had the tires rub lightly on the inner fenders/frame rail a few times when I've bottom out the suspension on really bumpy roads.
    Hope this helps out,

    Riggs

    Thanks for the compliment.

    My wheels are "Coys" C5 Chromed series. !7"X8" with 4" backspace.
    The tires are Riken "Raptors" 245/45 ZR17 Front, 255/50 ZR17 Rear.

    Check out their site. The Coys are nicer then TT2's (IMHO) and cheaper!
