I think I will be adding fog lamps as well, but they won't be old school since I am doing a restomod build. This is more of a nod to the past, but with new tech.

IMO, I wouldn't consider a 4+3 if I could spend $10k on a C4. While, I know some will defend the 4+3, it was heavy, not very reliable, and expensive to repair. Always buy the newest you can afford....

If it was a real PC, I would say PC hands down. So, having said that, it is a real CE, so I say CE. I am partial to the pre 80 design though. Not a fan of the integrated rear spoiler.

What printer are you using? I use a Makerbot Z18, but It only used PLA. I have a design for new front turn signal housings I want to get printed (After I perfect the CAD) but PLA will warp.

Harley's colours are orange and black, so I am not seeing the dilemma. Not trying to be a smart a$$ but, to me it seems to go with orange and black.

I orderd them through ebay motors. They were only $22 for 4 of them. I only need 2. Barring I get all four and they don't mess up the order, I can send you the other two if you want.

Wheel Spacers

I am thinking of buying .250 wheel spacers so I do not have to relocate my emergency brake cable when I get my 275/50 R15 tires. Will I need longer studs for this or do you think the current studs...

RPM Running High?

I have a 78 SA Vette. While cruising on the road at 70 mph, my tach reads between 2800-2900 RPM. That seems high to me. Not to mention, I think I am going slower than what the speedo reads. The car...

6l80/90e

I was wondering, with people swapping to 4 speed autos into their C3s, if it was possible to swap the 6L series transmissions while still utilizing the first gen blocks? Has anyone ever done it?
