Anyone? The shroud resting against the end tanks still appears to create an enclosed “box” and the fans can still clear enough to be installed back in the vehicle. I just wasn’t sure how the factory...

Fan shroud fitment for DeWitts single row 1991 Corvette

Hey guys, this one has been kicked around a bit I’m sure, but I want to confirm what I’m seeing is correct for a 1991. The shroud appears to want to rest on the end tanks for this single row...

Incredible isn’t it? Something that occupies relatively little space costing so much cash to bring back to new. I had the C2 bug for a while, but I was cured of it when non running examples 64-67...

Appreciate the product detail info and pictures! What are you using for the sand blasting and bead blasting? I’ve been looking at the Eastwood blaster tanks and considering one.

NCRS cars are nice. Restomods done right (meaning wire transfers with lots of zeroes) can’t be beat. I saw a restomod 65 convertible with a custome frame, LS7, six speed transaxle out of a C6 Z06 and...

If you’re getting something this special, splurge for the dipped interior. The only drawback I see is when it comes time to restore that interior, it’ll be $$$. Probably would just end up being a...

The F40 looks so slim and trim compared to the C8 Z06. It’s not the Z’s fault so much as the result of increased crash and safety standards and the need to be comfy getting us to this point. Even...

Given how much electrical equipment has a route to the battery as a power drain on cars these days, I wouldn’t be surprised if a couple weeks of not driving it drains the battery.

I believe 84-89 can interchange parts/columns fairly easy. Telescopic steering went away after 89 and the turn signal canceling cam and signal switch arm assembly changed in 1990. The rack assembly...
