When I looked at this pic I said "I have never seen one of these on my 'vette.". Then I read HOOAH's post, and I realize it's because there is some kind of bungie cord holding my jack down! If you're not gonna use it, send it my way!


Keep the shiny side up!

Confirmed - - and if memory serves and as the scar on my finger attests, it fits really tightly. Be careful pulling it over the jack.

Wondered the same thing when we got our '77. That same spring and bar assembly was in a ziplock bag marked "Misc found bolts and stuff".

Found a pic of it in my AIM.

Hey Thinpockets,

You down here now; and more important is your car down here???

There are a few forum members running around down here this time of year. We should all get together one of these days.
Would love to check it out especially the sound difference with the dynamat in the doors. I'm trying to decide if I should spray the inside of the doors with the rest of my Lizardskin sound deadener or use the Dynamat knock-off I have. Shoot me a PM if you're interested in getting together.
