    Looking for pic of installed 3pc pacecar front spoiler

    This pic is just what I was looking for. Thanks Karsten! However, yesterday I ruled out the pace car spoiler. I installed a 1 pc spoiler, the one with round side, compared to the squarish pace car spoiler. I first though is would never fit and was a chrome bumper version. This was before the...

    Near future project: Aluminum radiator support

    I was perusing my favorite junkyard last week and found what I think will work for the air dam extension. After striking out looking under every car and truck there (and seeing only broken or wrong shaped material) I stumbled upon a damaged and discarded pickup bedliner. It was tough plastic...

    Rear spoilers

    Anyone know how much an original style Pacecar front -and rear spoiler are worth in terms of downforce. I know that for the front it helps airflow for cooling the engine a lot, don't know about down force however.

    My New Project

    Well... under the hood ain't too pretty. It's got what looks to be a pretty basic 350 4 bbl with stock exhaust manifolds, 350 auto trans. The motor seems to run good and the dual exhaust seems OK too. The A/C has been disconnected but not deleted, there is no A/C compressor or hoses. The power...

    Last little items -fitting issues

    I'm finishing up on my car. The last couple of items are being installed and I'm running into several issues. First I had issues with the tire rubbing the front pace car spoiler and now, after installing my L88 hood, the hood was pushing too much on the stock L82 airtake duct causing the fan to...

    Near future project: Aluminum radiator support

    That won't work for my application. As I mentioned I need the material to be in an L (or 7) shape so I can bolt/rivet the upper horizontal portion to the aluminum bellypan. I don't have much ground clearance under the PC spoiler and adding a metal angle bracket loses the flex ability of the...

    My '76 restoration (long post)

    Thanks! I'll get an update on gauge later, but if you're asking, here's some update. First something I did weeks ago but never felt like posting. I did some block sanding test on one front fender. Used epoxy + ceramic micro bead, sanded with 80 grits. I obviously don't looks smooth, but my...

    Rear spoilers

    Custom Front End? Anyone know about the exotic front end? Except for the wing, that is almost perfect! The tucked in rear w/spoiler is nice, the stick out behind is not. Since my 74 body is very rough. It might be easier in the long run to graft on some new custom glass? Any thoughts on this...

    Rear spoilers

    PC Aero Package I remember a while back someone posted some wind tunnel testing results. As I recall only the 78 PC spoilers made a positive downforce, 15% less cda I keep thinking that a big cowcatcher "Or splitter" on the front, and something similar sticking up/out in the back will work. ;)...

    What 17 inch rims look the best on a 82 C3?

    Personally, I think the "sawblades" look pretty damn good on the later c3. The integrated front and rear spoilers give the car just enough modernism to pull it off. I ran sawblades on my car for 7-8 years before I eventually swapped them out for c5 wheels. Go with the base car and you still...

    Bending a tubular sway bar?

    Was back in Indiana last week visiting old friends, and ran an autocross while I was there. I had some concern about the roll stiffness balance after just making spring changes, but the car was reasonably predictable with the change (once I got the course memorized). Also, the front end dive was...

    Rear spoilers

    simply function? yes, ricer style high mount would probably be best but you'll have to eliminate the huge parachute under the car to really gain some downforce at speed..... not trying to sound like a "know it all" but there's not much downforce on the front either so you'll need to balance...

    Rear spoilers

    Interesting coincidence. I'm reading the aerodynamic book recommended above; and I'm to that chapter which talks about that.... the answer is yes, by removing the air from under the car (creates low air pressure under the car, thereby giving it more force down - or probably more correct way of...

    Rear spoilers

    GT Machine? What about to the luggage rack? I used to be all turned on w/Pro Touring. What happened to the Touring part? How long would you want to drive a 750 hp race car that does everything better than a stk w/o trunk or rack. At the expense of comfort and damm the cost! I called my car...

    Rear spoilers

    I hate reinventing the wheel, but it appears my research (read, I googled) prior to posting concludes that no one has shared their actual data on rear spoilers... sounds like it's time for tape, yarn, my gopro, the tank installed in my car and a day without precipitation. I'll work on snapping...

    My '76 restoration (long post)

    ...it's explained here : http://www.corvettefever.com/techarticles/corp_0906_c3_corvette_fender_flares/viewall.html It's getting trickier, but 1" of more flare would be exactly what my turbine 275 needs. hum...... Too bad I couldn't find a 3 piece front spoiler, that would have been a nice...

    My '76 restoration (long post)

    Hi guys. After another unexpected hiatus I'm back in the garage. I used the crappy molds I bought and got my self a 3-pieces spoiler set. Pretty much as planned the center piece came out nicely, mold was ok and the shape was simple. On the other hand the side molds where ugly I had to...

    Let the painting games begin!!

    it is heavy but only the triangle and large plate in the middle are steel, the rest is just a filberglass piece. Surprised to see you still have the lower spoiler attachment on the front, most of them are crooked. I ran mine off on a speed bump
