Vanacor's--2 questions
1) Anybody have a pic of a C3 with the ZR1 rear cover installed. I'm looking for something for mine, and the '80-82 cover has been done to death (looks good though).
2) Anybody used any of their covers? Quality/fit?
TIA

I think that's what Rosie put on hers. I'll look for a link.
Still in primer, but installed. I'm sure she'd be happy to share her experience with it on her 79.

Don't know about their covers but I got my Motorsports ground effects for
my 87 from them. Parts, shipping and service were good. I'll buy from them
again. See webpage for pics.

a454corvette....if you go back one page on my website you can see the start and page 12 is the finish.
The quality is pretty good!! and the fit..well wasn't perfect...had to do alittle glass work to get it to match up with sides..but all in all..was an easy switch. I would say out of ALL the mods I have done so far...the Rear piece was the easiest!!!!!!!
Only hard part was getting the center bolt off when taking off the old piece!! What a PITA that was!!!! very little room to work.
After 20+ years...it was really STUCK!!!!

I have and still use many of their products. His shop is about 30 minutes from my house. He's a real nice guy and his work is top notch. :yesnod:

Re: Vanacor's--2 questions (a454corvette)
Here's some shots of my rear Cap - Not vanacor's though - this one is from American Sports Car Design - I believe they no longer carry corvette fiberglass parts.
rear Quarter shot.
I have more images of the rear cap both before painting and after in my image gallery on the web site - here: http://earchitect.50megs.com/corvette/Thegallery.html

Thanks! Any side shots? I'm wondering how well it carries the line acrosss the top of the quarter.

Re: Vanacor's--2 questions (a454corvette)
I haven't used their rear cocer but did get a hood, wing, ground effect kit, and daytona front end from them. The quaility was good and the fit always is a pain with corvettes. With a little patient and work it comes out great.
By the way, Vanacor bought out all the molds etc from American Sports Car. LOL jamie
