Good stuff. I was going to suggest another use for my new "sawzall" :D

Your link has a much better idea!

Those guys must not own c3s. Should not be posted.
My instructions are better though. Have helped many over the years.

:cool:

Do you know if these procedures work across the board for all C-3's? As in... they all have the plugs to fish through? I haven't done research on the '71 I have now, but now that you brought it up I might as well get my bearings and measure off where things are. I stuck the hood so many times on the '74 that I know that one backwards and forwards. It seems some of the early model vettes with the windshield wiper gate that pops up might be easier since the hood is so much lighter. True or false?
