SOLD I purchased a Painless wiring harness for my 78 Darth Vader Vette RestoMOD but went in a totally different direction. It is a 28-Circuit, GM Column, Front Mount Fuse Block, Spade Fuse, Universal, Kit - Mfr. #: 10201. Box was opened but nothing was removed from the original box...

I am finally to a point where I can see my way back to working on my Darth Vader Vette. WOOHOO!! One of the items I want to accomplish is to have to open and close the hood by using a remote device. The remote device will be an iPhone connected via WiFi. Has anyone seen plans to accomplish...

3 or 4 week ago, I started the task of installing my new TKO600 in my Darth Vader Vette. Bell housing was powder coated black, set up my dial indicator and checked to make sure it was within spec for the TKO. Borrowed a tranny jack from a friend - the 4 wheel type that uses a ½" ratchet to...

I visited a good friend, Don, yesterday to chat about some of the mods I want to do with my Vader Vette. Soon after I arrived, he opened his garage door and there is was - a beautiful Crystal Red 3LT with the Z51 package. After looking all over the car, Don says to me, "Want to take it for a...

I am on the fence in regard to installing a hydraulic clutch when I install the TKO600 in the Darth Vader Vette. I have searched and read a bunch - some have gotten kits (which are $$$$$$) - but nothing specific. What options are out there? Any DIY installs? What did you use? It would be...

Problem - C6 rear clip fits very well on the back of my 78 BUT I want to put a spoiler on the back with sequential LEDs. I can't put a spoiler on of any width and still put gas in the car!! I was thinking of modifying the 78 gas tank so that it is a driver side fill. There is enough room...

Looking for opinions here - not trying to pull the wool over anyone's eyes. I will be installing digital gauges from Intellitronix "Create A Dash" kit in my 78 Darth Vader Vette. The current speedometer reads 82952 miles. My question is: A: Leave the new gauges at Zero miles B: Have the...

Has anyone here relocated the E-Brake to a different area of the interior? I am going to do a custom center console and would really like the E-Brake out of the center. Might be a dead end idea - where else can it go in this tiny compartment? Thanks John

I have been stick welding for years. I traded for a Snap On Mig welder a few years back and now have an application for it. The #4 body mount bracket on the passenger side of my Darth Vader Vette is toast. I played around with the MIG welder a bit yesterday using a couple pieces on 1/8" angle...

I good friend gave me a C5 gauge cluster for my 1978 Darth Vader Vette. I will be building a custom dash and center console and love the shape of the C5 cluster. I also love that all the gauges are right in front of you - not to the right! Has anyone adapted a C5 gauge cluster to a C3 or have...

I was thinking about my 78 this winter - what am I going to do with it? It is not original, and I had already rebuilt the engine, suspension, drive train and brake system. Parting it out is a PITA. Then the light bulb went off --- DARTH VADER VETTE! I will use this thread to post the...

It has been almost 2 years since I first registered and this is my first post. I have 3 Vettes, my 69 & 76 are original numbers matching cars they will stay that way. Not so much for the automatic 78 SA. I actually purchased the 78 for my wife - I was going to fix it up for her and we could...
