    Anyone who has removed an undamaged C3 front clip please help

    This is on an '81. I know, most say don't remove the front clip unless its damaged and being replaced, but mine has some rust in the birdcage at the top edge of the fender, and the only way to properly address it is to take the clip off. I have it unbolted at the front, and the strip going...

    Reed's 78 Corvette TH2004R Swap

    Here are some pics of a 78 Vette that I recently put a TH2004R transmission in (sorry about the orientation of the pics; not sure how to correct that on here). The crossmember needed only to have the bolt on TH350 mounting portion removed, and the trans attached directly to the crossmember. I...

    Anyone ever adapt a Ford 8.8 IRS to a C3?

    Rather than go to all the trouble and expense of a 12 bolt upgrade, why not adapt a readily available, modern IRS like the Ford 8.8?

    My 81 Vette Build Thread

    I have had my 81 for a few months now, and I am just getting started on the frame-off rebuild. I'm building with a Pro-Touring influence...basically, I want the car to be daily driveable, very reliable, get decent mileage, and have the ability to be driven anywhere, while still having the power...

    T56 shifting issue

    This tranmission is not in my C3, its in my 97 Camaro SS, but I'm hoping someone here will have some ideas. For a little background, the car had a fairly new clutch and the slave was replaced within the last 20k miles. I was driving on the interstate, and it wouldn't downshift out of 6th...well...
