Well, after almost 7 years of screwing around with this car, it's almost finished. The paint came out pretty good for a first timer; i'm going to give it a few more days until I color sand the clear. Final color choice was C6 Lemans blue. The weather strips and window moldings have been...

Like 255/60-15 tires, I have found that cunt hairs are not as common now as they were in the 70's either. :toothbrush:

Why not call TransGo?

Center Line is making some great looking wheels. I'm partial to the Lazer II's.

Whippersnappers. Don’t know style when they see it. [/IMG] :smash::smash::smash:

I'm surprised American Racing hasn't done this. I'd be first in line.

That's just it, There don't appear to be too many choices. Somebody needs to cast a 17" version of a AR Vector. :thumbs:

The tires are junk. 12 year old mis-matched 215/65's. The rims do look like old Centerlines but I can't find any markings anywhere. The backs have a lot of years of crud caked on them so when I dismount the tires and glass bead the backside I'm hoping to find some markings stamped in...

That's right! I should have remembered that, thanks. So, that means that my current wheels are correct and should not have clearance issues if I choose to stay with the 15 inchers. That's good. Also, apparently C3's do not use a zero offset wheel. I should just order up a set of 17" TT2's...

I have been having a hard time deciding on a tire/wheel combination for my ’78 project since I started on it. First is the choice between staying with the stock 255/60-15 tires or going to 255/50-17 in order to take full advantage of my suspension mods. I’m aware that the 15” tires are not...

I have finally been getting some things done on the recreation of my ’78. I got the front and rear glass installed yesterday. I hope to have the front clip finished and installed in about another month. [/IMG] Living in a rural area with no local police sure has its benefits when you want...

Sometimes the truth hurts, and this is it. In the coming New Year, 2012, both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union address will occur on the same day. This is an ironic juxtaposition of events. One involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to an insignificant creature of little...

What should I use to paint my steering column? I’m finishing up the rebuild of my T & T column, and it’s going to need to be re-painted. I’ve got the Corvette America dye, but that’s not going to work on the metal parts of the column. I suppose I could have my auto paint guy mix some up, but...

It seems that the Camaro boards have a lot of information on motor mounts. C3 small blocks use the same mounts as 67 - 68 302 & 350 Camaros. I found the correct mounts in stock at Advance Auto. For future reference if anyone else needs these, they are Anchor part number 2285. The mount on the...
