A few questions
I have a few questions that have been asked in the Forum before, but never really got answered.
1. What is the largest rims that can go on a C-3 without ANY modifications?
2. Are the body panels the only fiberglass in a Vette?
3. What are the floorboards made out of?
4. What is the easiest and safest way to strip paint from a Vette?
If anybody can refer me to links or other url's that has addressed these issues, I sure would appreciate it. I want to make sure that I do this right. I am NOT going to do this car halfa*sed. Thanks to all in advance. :flag

Re: A few questions (greatgonzoglenn)
OK...
#1 Early C3's are different, even from car to car. My 69 won't even take 245/60's... Rears hit E brake bracket and Mufflers.. Later C3's came with 255/60's as an option.
#2 &3 Floor pans are fiberglass until 76,then steel at least for a few years but Not sure about the very late cars.
#4 There are a number of chemical strippers that are safe for glass. Some people prefer the razor blade method. Both have pros and cons depending on how many coats of paint are on the car and how much money you areplanning on spending. Niether way is easy or fast.
