    82 Front/Rear Brake Pads Same Size?

    I just picked up some Wagner Thermo-Quiet pads today for my '82 front and rear. I'm installing them tomorrow and I just noticed they gave me the exact same pads for both front and rear. Just checking so I don't get halfway through the job and have to return the rears for different pads. Is...

    Difference in C3 Fenders....

    I was talking to an "old Vette guy" this weekend, who told me there was a definite difference in the early C3 fenders and the older ones. I'm not sure what year the change was made (69-70 maybe?), but he said the flared fenders were larger after that year. Is that right? I never noticed a...

    Wii Boxing... What a workout!!!

    I'm 58 years old... therefore, by definition, I hate video games. It's just a fact. My 4 sons went together and bought Pam and I a Wii game console for Christmas.... To be honest, it's taken me a month to get around to setting it up..... The bowling is fun and enjoyable, the tennis is faster...

    How many six-footers here?

    My legs are so long (@6-4) that I have to open my door to pull up my socks. I've already busted off my turn signal/dimmer with my knee while getting out of the car. These cars definitely weren't designed with us big boys in mind. ... ... ... ... ... But that will never stop me!!!:bounce:

    ZR1 Wheels on C3....

    I've been looking at these wheels from SLP. They are the correct offset and size for our cars, with no modifications. (17x8 - 4" backspacing). They are pricey indeed, at $999 (Mid-America), but I think they would look great on a C3. I sure would like to see a picture of these rims on a...

    700R4... Good news!

    I posted a couple weeks ago about my trans leaking... I was pretty nervous about the cost... I took it to a highly recommended shop today and he diagnosed it as: 1. Rear seal leaking 2. Pan gasket leaking 3. Speedo cable fitting leaking Total cost for the fix... $125. Next Saturday...

    700R4 Leak

    1982 700R4 with 120,xxx miles. It has started leaking, but I can't tell where the leak is coming from. The odd thing is, that it's inconsistent. 3 weeks ago I drove around town... maybe 20 miles, got home... an hour later there was a 6" puddle of fluid... But a week after that, I went on a...

    Dead Cat = A Day Off?

    Just looking for some opinions here. Maybe I'm the one who's wrong. My secretary... (Ooops, I'm old-school. I forgot you have to call them Administrative Assistants, or "Admins" now or you get sued!)... Anyway, she calls in and said she was taking the day off because her cat died and they...

    Dash lights... too dim....

    The dash lights on my '82 all work as does the dash dimmer on the headlight switch, but the lights are so dim I can barely read the guages, even on the darkest night... Any suggestions?:bounce:

    I'm Embarrassed to Know this Guy!!!

    I took this picture in the Parking Garage at my office today. I saw the guy get out of the truck and I was so amazed by this that I told him... "You live like a pig!"... (I've known him for over 20 years so he thought I was joking!!!)... I WASN'T! :sick: Man... that is disgusting! I...

    Nice assortment of Vettes...

    Liberty Square cruise night tonight... perfect weather (80*, nice breeze) and a bunch of classic Vettes! All cars were welcome of course, but the Vettes dominated. :bounce: BTW... this was sponsored by the Mustang club and there were more Vettes than Stangs!!! Yes!

    '74 Big Block Vert on Craigs...

    I can't believe the price on this car. I even e-mailed the guy and asked him if it was a typo. He's in the Navy and leaving for Iraq in a couple weeks. He wants to sell the car this weekend. $6,300. '74 Vette, convertible, 454, 4-speed, air, new paint, new interior, white/red... He said it...

    16 years old? I don't think so....

    Does China think the rest of the world is stupid or what? These girls look like 3rd graders. Why not go ahead and use these little guys? Enslaved to gymnastics from the age of 3!

    New Glass tops installed...

    MUCH better fit than the old t-tops. Hard to explain, but with all the adjustments I tried, and all the work I did, the old original tops just never fit right.:bonkers: These brand new glass tops from Corvette South fit very well, and with a little "seasoning" of the weatherstriping, I expect...

    Grundy agrees to pay for smashed t-top...

    Most of you know... I dropped & smashed a t-top, my own fault. Decided to call my insurance to see if it was covered. I just heard back from the adjuster from Grundy Worldwide. He asked me a few questions and said... I was a little shocked. I told the guy I thought I'd have a fight on my...
