Pat,
I know I'm sick with Corvettes.
The biggest problem I have is that every time my wife finds one that's good deal she says "BUY IT".
And I don't want to let her down.
Seriously, she loves them as much as I do, what a women!!!!!

The only way you can fight this is to give some of the cars to your forum buddies!

I'll take the gasser and store it in a nice shelter for you here out west.

Seriously nice cars!!

Bumping this one to the next page. Looks like front Thumpers on all four corners. Nice!

Another beauty! Are those keystones on the car?

Also, the hardtops are really making me think they need to always be on the car!

Love this ride!
Sweetness! I've been thinking about installing some tiny headlights in the grill of my GS, so I won't need to remove the headlight covers should I not be able to out-race the sun in the evening. Your car really looks great....

Larry,


Thank you

The below was the best option before fixing the front nose to accommodate the factory headlights

Dual "Wave" ET Custom dual H4 Bulbs - Easy to wire for Low beams and High beams utilizing floor switch as usual.
Bright as hell. In grill so they don't distract other drivers. See link and don't get distracted by the girls - scroll down to the black lights. "Dual "Wave"

http://www.demonscycle.com/headlights?mode=list

I run relays and they work beautifully.

You can find then on other websites

Got the car w/ these flares on the car already. Just finished putting on QA1 shocks when this photo was taken. Decade old 275-17 and 315-17 tires on the car now, but 295 fronts may fit but the wheels are only 9" wide so I'll have to stay w/ 275's. I was hoping to be able to run 315's all the way around but doesn't look like that's possible.

It's from Eklers. It will bolt right on a stock front end. I had to modify it for the shaved turn signals.

Thanks biggd, I have shaved turn signals and will put them in the bumper strut openings in the grill like yours, so this is maybe the front spoiler for me.
