    C3 front end lift (aero) question.

    I have spent a few years workin with the air flow on my vette.It passes air through very well now.At first I was working to draw more air into the rad,and engine compartment.Due to modding(lowering)the front of the hood. I found that it was not drawing enough air into the rad,I addressed that...

    Front Fender mod

    The driver's side piece I'm using almost looks like a replacement piece as it's just black without evidence of any colour on it at all. The piece I have for the passenger side has been cut from a car but it also has no upper lip for the screws to go into. Weird. I've just looked at Doc...

    Fender Louver info post...

    I got mine both from eBay but from different sellers. One was real cheap as someone had drilled a hole in it (which I've repaired) and the other one was quite cheap too. I think I bought the panel "halves" from tracdogg and they weren't expensive. Going all the way too. Once the louvers are...

    C3 front end lift (aero) question.

    I agree. When I bought my 71 stock small block it had no catches on the hood. At hiway speed the hood would lift at the windshield about an inch at 65, and another inch by 80mph. In my mind it was as simple as more air in the front and under the bottom than could be exhausted thru the side vents...

    Front Fender mod

    I'll keep the wood idea in mind but the way that 8115 works, it'll be ridiculously simple to glue a bit of angle aluminium onto the fender piece before I stick it to the car. Speaking of 8115, that **** is incredible! From this pic, I said the bit in red got in the way of the new louver and...

    Hey Saudi

    Thanks for the sentiments guys. Sorry I haven't replied sooner but my pc went down big time with a virus on Saturday evening. I still haven't managed to fix it yet but I've resurrected and old machine so I could get net access and repair my main machine. Apart from the damn virus, I had a...

    Front Fender mod

    I bought a piece (5 meter length!!) of 3/4" angle aluminium and glued a piece to the fender insert. I had to trim about 1/4" inch off the "upper" edge as it looked like it might interfere with the joining of the panel later. I found some "body nuts" in town and got the holes drilled and the...

    Hey Saudi

    A likely story. It's all those naked pictures of your bride jamming it up. Just download them, and send them to me. It will solve your problem, and mine.;)

    Well hit three wood in a tile shower!

    ...of the factory paint, hand blocked, wet sanded, all seams fixed on the body then topped with a red white and blue paint job. Added fender louvers and a rear whale tail. Then a redo of the interior - (short time with Recaros - later sold at a loss). In 1993 moved to SOCAL - LA and did it...

    Hey.

    ...question that was definitely on it was "what 3M product would be best suited as an adhesive when grafting 1972 (FRP/GRP) Corvette fender louvers into an 1982 (SMC) Corvette?" There's a few hard questions like the first one but most of them are straight forward like the second one. Not as...

    Project "Rolling Thunder"

    Okay, almost up to date. The filler plates for the old headlight buckets are in, and the new buckets have been fiberglassed in to the grille area. Still a little more cosmetic work to do in that are. One of the items I decided on early were the shark gills. I never liked the eggcrates of the...
