Asking $250. GM Restoration Parts urethane rear bumper. This was installed on the car but never painted. Decided to go with Fiberglass bumpers so I could fill the seams. I did partially drill a hole for a third brake light, but this can be quickly filled. $500 part from Ecklers, etc.

I appreciate the advice on my engine build and would like to ask the opinion of those who have been there, done that as to transmission choice. I need to nail this down as I want to make the crossmember mods prior to having the chassis blasted and painted. 1982 'ish convertible conversion...

Ok guys. I have my engine totally torn down now and need some advice on components for the next step. I am building the engine for a twin turbo setup so need to stay low compression. This is a street car that might see the track just a time or two, 600hp or so with boost is the goal. The...

I am rebuilding my engine and trying to learn engine building as I go. A friend is doing his side by side with mine and a friend with years and years of engine building experience is teaching us. Tonight we finished tearing down both our motors and pulling out the rotating assemblies. We did...

A friend and I are wanting to have a go at fabricating some caliper brackets for my 82 project. The C6 Z06 calipers would fit in terms of thickness and bolt pattern, but the hat is too shallow. Are there any oem applications out there that are large rotors that are a bolt on in terms of rotors?

This system was purchased new a few years ago and never installed. This system sells for $1250 with the gear shift sending unit and that does not include the oem bezels which would run you an additional $200. I am going with a manual transmission and analog gauges for my project now, so I...

I have really grown to trust this forum and several of the guys here for advice as opposed to some of the others where there seems to be a lot of pretty questionable advice being tossed around. I was hoping someone could give me a little advice on what to do here. I have a dilemna on the...

This is the engine in my '82 project. I am planning on either a centrifugal supercharger or turbo installation. Rather than carb, I am running a large runner TPI setup. How many pounds of boost would it be safe to add, and what size injectors should I run? I have a chance to pick up a good...

Guys I contacted Dashworks about a contemporary dash for C3 Corvettes. They just released a custom dash for C2 and make many products for Camaro, Chevelle, etc. At any rate they told me they had considered the C3's but would need to see if there were more requests or interest before committing...

I feel like the dad on Christmas Story with his lamp. I just want to stare at it.

I live in a small town with no speed shops and I'm assuming I would have to drive 45 minutes to get my bottle refilled. I'm just curious how many shots you get out of an average sized bottle and how expensive it is to get a bottle refilled? Never really looked into it before.

I ran across this youtube video. Does anyone know who this car belongs to? I would love to know more about the C6 instrument cluster installation he did. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxRhlwM_RDQ

After letting it sit for a few years I am getting back to work on my '82. I have been pleasantly surprised by the advancement on rack and pinion conversion, hydro boost conversion and electric headlight conversion from where things were a few years ago. Has anything happened on the brake...

I would like to mold the front and rear bumpers in on my 1982 project car. The new bumpers I purchased years ago are oem GM urethane that I paid about $500 each for from Ecklers. I chose them because of the flexibility, etc. I am wanting to add in script on the rear and the filler plate on the...

Unfortunately, due to other committments this time of year, I won't be able to do anything on the project for a couple more weeks. I did manage to unwrap one to take a look though. They are Pro Wheels Scorpions 20x12 rear and 19x10 front.

I have the wheels picked out for my '82 and am ready to order, but I am running up against tire issues. I plan on going with 18x10 in front and 20x12 in rear (Stan's flares). Going with Pro Wheels Scorpion w/ black center (car will be black) However, I am having troubles finding tires for...

I am mulling over brake options on my '82 project. I am going with 18's and 20's and the brakes will be very visible. I really like the look of the C5 calipers and I am looking at the Vette Brakes C5 conversion kit.. http://www.vbandp.com/detail.aspx?ID=1106 Their web site gives almost no...

I am going with L88 flares on my car and want to go ahead and get the wheels so I can fit the flares to the wheels. I had my heart set on 20x13's in the rear, but I really hate to choke up the funds for three piece rims, and really am having trouble finding ones I like. Several wheels I really...
