Bee Jay's threads and answers to PMs and emails.
Hi guys. I've been absent a lot, working, campaigning, and playing grandpa. I've been getting a lot of emails and PMs recently asking me about some of my mods. Have you guys been talking about me? You can see pictures of a lot of my mods by clicking on "1979 Vette" just above my avatar. You can also do a search under "Bee Jay" and find most of my threads. I will include a few here:

That was me Pauldana and thanks. I ended up ordering another 80-82 style Truflex bumper and decided the chrome bumper conversion was not for me. Will be taking my damaged bumper off soon.
Bee Jay, appreciate you putting together all your threads. You have done some great things to your car. Don't want to sound mushy or anything but you are kinda my idle right now when it comes to this C3 stuff. Pictures of your car finally convinced me to change the stock style 15s that have been on my car for decades. Running the C5 Z06 wheels is the way I want to go but 17X8.5s all the way around is what I'm thinking right now. I don't think they are going to look as good on my car though because mine isn't lowered as much as yours.
Can you tell me what your ride heights were when you had the 17s on. I have a fiberglass monospring on the back and I'm having trouble getting it any lower unless I use the long bolts that then cause clearance problems when put my 275/15 drag radials on. Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
