You wouldn't have to put a window in it, just have louvered slots in it so you can see (like those sun-shields they used to put on camaros and the like).

Cheers,

You'd probably have to do something similar to what they did for the Lotus Motorsport Elise, which was to add a panel that latches between the rear buttresses and smooths out the flat area. That way...

Re: What would you want in a local Corvette club? (JB)

I like my club, but it could use more racing and less eating! :lol:

Re: Did a Photochop on my C3.. (GrandSportC3)

GS,

You're photochop looks like it's a midnight blue, not a true black (maybe it's just my monitor :leaving: ) anyhoo, I think that a midnight blue (deep deep almost black blue) would look...

Well here's my bid:

C4 suspension, front and back, with new wheels.
Fixed headlights (removes all that vacuum stuff)
Daytona Front end (Gkull saved a bit with his conversion)

Re: check out this thermostat (Jvette73)

Well, better stuck open than closed. That's how my first car got ruined! (when the engine lights failed to turn on - no temp gauge).

Re: Transmission lines (gkull)

You CAN get the tranny lines in and out of an assembled car, but it definately isn't any fun, especially at the transmission end!

I'm with Gkull on this one. Installed SS braided lines with AN...

Re: Head Intake Port Q's... (gkull)

Gkull,

Definately am converting it to EFI. Will probably extend the horns to help with the low-end as well.

Comp,

From what I was told, it's an old Mickey Thompson manifold. Would sure love to know more about it!

As for Webers, I would have had to go large, at least 52mm if not bigger, but the cost...

Re: What size Summit alum. radiator did you buy? (Budman78)

31x19 with 2x1.25" core is what will work nicely. Depending on the year, you can probably even go bigger, but I'd be more inclined to go thicker (like 2x1.5").

You might want to read my write-up...

Redvetracr,

I'll probably have to modify the frame, but I don't really see that as a big deal.

That side profile reminds me a bit of either Maserati or a Pantera. Either way, at 150K, you could buy both a Maserati AND a Pantera and still have enough money to buy the Vette of your...

Re: anyone here running dry sump system? (Twin_Turbo)

I'll be running a dry sump on the engine I'm building up. In fact, the block I got is made for dry sump anyway. I got a 5-stage Razor pump, but that's as far as I've gotten (since I'm still...

Re: interesting car on ebay (TTop Tony)

That's a pretty nice custom Vette. Although I prefer flat glass to the bubble backs, the slanted back actually looks nice.

Not a bad deal, I'd say. Someone grab it!

Sounds like modified hubs would be something the Corvette vendors should be stocking instead of selling those wheel adapters! I...
