Fantastic, are those c4 seats you installed, they look a lot more comfortable than my original '72's. Wish I could do that engine work as well, will have to continue to dream.

72 red convert.

>>How is the night driving with the lights under the bumper?

Night driving is ok! However - it's not as good as with the pop up headlights!

Those are 1978 - 1982 style Corvette seats!

The parts in the engine compartment are not too expencive:

$180 for the polished intake
$300 for the carb
$100 for the chrome water pump
$100 for the chrome alternator
$50 for all the chrome brackets
$140 for the stainless steel hoses
$50 for the Valve Covers
$50 for the aluminum pulley

approx. $970 for all the parts!
