Re: Sidepipe pics ! (Tom Johnson)
Tom Johnson, I don't know the color, but I know that it was first painted gold and then the red was sprayed over it. It changes colors under different lighting, slight orange tint on a sunny day, and a dark crimson on a cloudy or even part of day.

Re: Sidepipe pics ! (mikeo)
Ditto, ditto, ditto, ditto. . . :cool: Are they Hooker chrome sidemounts? Chrome all the way to the engine?
On a separate issue, are you ever going to glass your rear bumper to the car and make the back seamless as well?

Re: Sidepipe pics ! (74-Roadster)
74 Roadster The Hooker headers bolt directly to the engine, then the sidepipes slip over the headers & mount to the side of the car's frame. They are chrome from the engine to the sidepipe tips 
.
I haven't decided if I'll ever have to rear bumper molded to the car like the front. The guy who molded the front bumper totally glued the fiberglass bumper to the body & said it is know one piece so if a hit anything with it they'll have to fix it like the rest of the car, they won't be able to just replace the front bumper ( they probably could but they'd have to cut the entire bumper off) . ;)

Re: Sidepipe pics ! (mikeo)
A guy I worked with came to work one day with deer guts all over the passenger side of his car. I asked him how he got dead deer on his car without getting a dent.
He said when he was leaving work the night before, someone just hit a large buck. When he pulled along side it to count the points on it's rack, a speeding semi-truck ran over it.. :U

Re: Sidepipe pics ! (JohnS_77)
Hey
Nice car.
My 68 ragtop has the same pipes and the big block sound nasty.
No need to blow any horns, nobody can hear it anyway.
Loud pipes save lifes . :D
I think every C3 should have them installed, real eyecatcher.

Re: Sidepipe pics ! (mikeo)
The Hooker Sidepipes are my favorites! - I had them on my 69.
I also use them on my 68 Custom Convertible!
Olivier
PS: I use those pipes without any mufflers or baffles. However - I would like to put some kind of mufflers into those pipes. However - I only want to reduce the noise a little bit (the glasspacks are too quiet). Does anyone know what the loudest mufflers/ baffles for those pipes are and where I can get them?

>>Grandsport do you have any more pics of you 69 That is beautiful
I have some more pictures! Check out this link!
http://www.geocities.com/olivierm.geo/more.html
I cannot make any more photos because I sold my black 69 2 years ago!
Currently I only have my Custom 68 and a 1980 Corvette Duntov Turbo Convertible (Number 4 or 32 produced)
I am currently working on a Corvette Homepage showing pictures of all my Corvettes I owned
So far I owned:
2 x 69 Convertible
86 Coupe
95 Convertible
and currently own:
68 Custom Convertible
80 Duntov Turbo Convertible
I am also going to put a documentation of my 68 Corvette restauration on this page. I hope to finish the page within the next couple of weeks!
