For the Tampa Bay area readers: do you have any experience with body shops in the area (Tampa, St. Pete, Clearwater) for minor fiberglass repair. The tip of my C3's nose got scraped up and I'm not sure who to take it to. I got one recommendation for Superior Auto Body in north St. Peterburg. Any...

I'm upgrading the brakes and rotors. Are there any significant differences between slotted and drilled rotors? I suspect performance is the same, but I haven't found any information stating one way or the other. Holo

Hi.....how you guys and gals been? Haven't been up for awhile....but...today I am asking if anyone can send me to a reputable supplier of new brake lines...clips...bolts etc for my 75 project...I would like to find a supplier on the West Coast...........Thanks!

I researched till I'm blue in the face, but I am sure I missed something. But I know my virtual friends here in the vette group will help me! My 1992 LT1 corvete coupe takes about 5 or 6 seconds every morning to start... The engine "cranks" so I have eliminated a bad starter... Ive eleiminated a...

American Collectors Insurance, does anyone have a good or bad feeling about their worth. I was quoted a price of about 25% of what my insurance company is charging me now for my 1972. Very nearly the same coverage, based out of Cherry Hill NJ, the NJ is almost enough to scare me off. ;-] Yes, I'm...

We have a 1978 corvette that we are replacing the rear wheel bearings.. The question is : on the spindle shaft there is a ridge that the bearing should pass over,is there a shim or spacer that goes between them? My haynes book does not show the ridge. Thanks Ron

Hi I use an LRC10 laser jammer ( Ido not know if you have this model in the US ), it needs to be placed as near to the front number plate, as possible as this is where the police aim their radar guns. On my newly acquired 2001 corvette it all seams to be one piece at the nose end with no gaps to...

The same dealer that put a small hole in my rocker panel is going to replace my speakers. I'd rather not even let them see my car again, but they have to fix the rocker and at same time they are going to replace two blown/crackly speakers. (I actually think it's possible something is not hooked...

Last week I pulled into my garage and turned off my '87 coupe. The power antenae motor was running, trying to put the antenae back down, but it was not going down. I gave it a push, it went down, and the motor quit running. I forgot about it until yesterday, when I started the car and...

I once saw in a magazine a company selling some kit that either allows the hatch door to be removed or the window in the hatch door. For 1984 and up models. It was a few years ago. As a convertible lover (but also needing a little bit of storage space, I thought this was a great idea. Does...

Hi I'm in the process of tire shopping & I came across a set of Pirelli's but they don't make 275/40/17. They have them in 285/40/17 instead. I checked the difference in calculations and it gives about 1.5 %. I was wondering if this would be fine, or if any one of you's already did this type...

I've had to do major repairs to my frame. I have a 1980. Section of rear crossmember replaced, on the rear bends right behind the doors bracketed up, and body mount/door support that holds up the body totally replaced. I've a good job done, but wondering how this will effect the re-sale.

I'd be interested in comments by UK Corvette drivers on the seemingly astronomical prices they go for. If you look at www.corvette.co.uk, in the "list of cars" section, you see a 2003 Anniversary edition for £35,995 - that would be $65,870 at the current exchange rate of $1.83. Also, does anyone...

Has anyone here installed a zz4 engine in a C3 Vette? What problems were encountered? or was it a simple transplant? Is there anything you wish you would have done different? I know its alot of questions but I want to be sure im looking at doing the right thing. Thanks Mike

I have to fix the fuel line on my "78" Vette. It appears as though I would have to 1 remove the gas tank and 2 figure out how to get the new line in through the frame. I am thinking of cutting the line back by the rear wheel well and splicing a short piece of rubber fuel line to connect to my new...
