    The only thing I found that worked was this:

    C8 Big Block

    "Cast up new heads", it's just that easy. I wonder what the weight difference is with a cast iron block?

    Some interesting metal working tools

    Was that blasting down to the metal or primer? The cleanup would be a deal breaker for me.

    Gm type 2 pumps

    I think 69427 is running a Type2 pump.

    Ethanol.....

    Looks like EPDM, Neoprene, SBR & Butyl are good with Ethanol I don't think there is any justification for 10% Ethanol gas. Lower price w/ lower fuel economy is a wash.

    Plastic Fantastic 2

    That door latch lever is crap. First off, the lever is made out of sheet metal with an offset pivot (a rivet) that guaranteed to bind. Also the control rod is pushing, causing the rod to bend at the ends. Then the handle breaks, etc. Worst design ever. I replaced mine so that I can use a...

    Parts vendors - Paragon Corvette

    Paragon is no more? That's a shame. The only other Corvette (for quality parts) is DocRebuild.com

    Light weight c3 front clip and hood

    Wow. I think I weighed the hood on my car at 27lbs. Just the hood!

    Plastic Fantastic 2

    That is similar to what I had planned. Any tips or tricks to seal what you have to the underside of the hood?

    That will be super nice. Pretty clean truck for 70 years old.

    Guy was really shoehorned in the Vette. Surprisingly comfortable in the Lambo

    Misc Vintage Racing Clips

    It always (to me) looked like a last minute idea that was put together out of sheet metal and plastic sheet. I suppose that is what inspired the "Lexan" sponsorship. Quite a change from this:

    Misc Vintage Racing Clips

    I had a Aurora 1/32 slot car track. The cars were Lola (like) bodies. I LOVED the Chaparrals and saw (on TV) every race I could and I read everything about Jim Hall. That was really the golden age of all kinds of racing with clever people doing clever things and the cars were beautiful. Then...

    Long Overdue Progress! My Retro Airbag

    Bob, it's probably "soft touch" paint popular on late C4's and C5's and a ton of other products. There isn't much you can do. The only thing I have found is semi flat or flat Krylon clear over it. Edit: I looked on Youtube and some people say isopropyl alcohol will get it off. I thought I...

    Kindig 53 Corvette Ridler Award

    Nice build video. Amazing work. I'll have to watch his show. I have avoided those types of shows because there is to much talking and not enough work. I used to record them and fast forward the non building parts. You could watch a 1 hour episode in 15-20 min.
