    255 tire rubbing - damn

    I had a problem with the 255/60 tire on the right front rubbing the fender in front of the tire, which was especially so with the pace car spoiler installed. I already trimmed the fender underneath the spoiler sidepiece back something like 1/2" and first thought I was ok, but when having driven...

    tire rub in front

    I fitted my pace car spoiler and since the clearance to the front of the wheel well was already tight, the tire rubbed on it. I trimmed the wheel well in front of the right wheel and now have about 1/4 inch clearance. Is this enough ?

    ...more of block sanding, and final paint which is done on the body (see pics). The doors, hood deck lid, head lights, gas tank door and front spoiler will get painted today. The body will start to get color sanded today and then let set for a while to breath. Once I get it back from paint...

    Aero improvement, or roadhugging weight?

    Had a few moments to kill this afternoon and kicked around some possible aero mods for the '69. Every time I'm under the car doing stuff I'm amazed at how "rough" the underside of these things are. I know a lot of guys complain about the frontend lift (at speed) of C3s, and although I've never...

    1960 Chaparral Mk 1 video at the Vintage Races

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mwvdqo68uE I am one lucky son of a gun. I get to attend the races as part of my job, and don’t have to win, loose or draw. Seriously there were 320 vintage race car entries at Limerock’s 25th annual Labor day 4 day event. Included are many other models that are...

    protouring c3 with solid rear axle, pics so far.

    Here is the progress so far. I acquired this project with the ford 9" rear already in it. It was being setup as a drag car and I have changed direction for a protouring car. Have a heavily built 377 to go in it as well as a world class t-5. Rear end has 3.89 gears, moser axles, detroit...

    Antique John Deere tractor got me thinking about C3 aero stuff.

    My dad had several antique JD tractors (30s and 40s vintage) which he enjoyed as a retirement hobby. The older JD engines didn't have thermostats, but they had a shutter system in front of the radiator so the driver could regulate the airflow into the radiator to set the coolant temps. That got...

    Shrinkage of GF and plastic bumpers ?

    ...seems to appear after the parts have been sprayed in the heated booth.This is especially so for the original type front/rear bumper/ front spoiler parts. Is this common and if so, what does one do to overcome this. Imo, one cannot compensate this in advance. I was thinking of lightly...

    82 front spoiler fit

    I mounted up my front spoiler today. It fits reasonably well, except where it's supposed to meet the wheel arches. I wasn't sure if I should bolt it on and leave it at that or "glue" it on. I glued my bumper on yesterday, so it's never going anywhere but now seeing the crappy fit of the...

    Pace Car front spoiler mod by Bee Jay

    I got tired of getting my body color Pace Car front spoiler painted almost annually, twice this year. I decided to add a splitter to protect the paint and maybe add some performance. I started with 1/4" plywood and came up with this. If this works good, I can use this as a pattern and cut one...

    Front spoiler aero question

    Just looking for some opinions on my new front spoiler. Does something this low really hurt high speed stability? It did lower my radiator temp by 20* (didnt have any type of lip or spoiler on it previously) so I'm thinking that its really bringing alot of air up under the nose. But is that...

    MERLIN is back......

    ...isn’t for everyone. People look at it and say it’s a wide body – when in fact it is a bone stock 74 body with some lowers and an 80’ front spoiler kit. We had no choice but to glass on some fender extensions on the back to be legal. 345’s at the time were the largest street tire you could buy...

    Drifter or pro-touring?

    Just picked up an 85 vette and I want to do some wild modifications to it, but I'm not sure which direction to take. I was thinking about making my car into a drifter with a bunch of carbon fiber goodies, front splitter, spoiler, side skirts, and rear diffuser. Or go the pro-touring direction...

    Going to the New Jersey Motorsports Park September 17th, want to put a tow hook on the front of the car, the front spoiler is too low for a hook under there, I was thinking making something mounted to the "u piece" that goes from below the lower radiator mount to the the nose of the car (where...
