You can put me down under: Engines, EFI, Viper T56 swap, Nitrous, and fabrication... I'm an ex-engine builder with builds ranging from street to NHRA Pro Stock, I've been tuning EFI for about 8 or 9 years (lots of exp. with the original Accel DFI), and I do A LOT of fabrication work. I also own a cryogenic processing business that specializes in the treatment of motorsports applications.

Flav, only a working experience of late C3s with:
ZZ4 engine swap.
700R4 OD and tranny cooling
audio/hidden antenna.
remote/security system.
FRP rear suspension
headers/exhaust

 

Hmm,
"How to disassemble your car so it never moves again, get fed up, buy more Vettes"-Fastguy

 

I just hope this won't **** off norval to the point he leaves the forum cause he his one heck of a good help in many domains.... anyway, here is what I could answer questions on:

1978 vette
rebuild 350 engine
frame off resto
Por15 products
Richmond 5spd

Thats pretty much it for now... soon I might be a reference in 5-link suspension but for now I'm trying to stay low so I don't get flamed to hell. :rolleyes:

I'll offer a differing opinion from NH:

I don't see this list as means to avoid posting and discussing topics.
I do see this list as a good reference, when the topic discussion has
exhausted itself - or when someone doesn't get many replies (for many reasons).
Sometimes the time of day will drop your post off the list - or a poorly worded title.
So, here is a list that can be searched for keywords - and offer someone
the avenue to persue a reasonable answer from a somewhat knowledgable
source - in addition to normal posting - or when desparate for an answer.

Let's say you drove to work, and as you exit the vette, your tilt wheel makes
a snapping sound and the wheel is loose. Wouldn't it be nice to sit down at
your desk and solicit a speedy reply from a resident expert ? Maybe you would
have a chance to fix it before driving home.

I never saw this list as a threat to the board. :confused:
In fact, a diverse list like htis may start people into thinking: "Now, what can I do next ?"

I haven't added myself as an expert here - since I like to think that I know a
little about everything. My wife calls it a 'know-it-all' - except I'm probably
wrong 20% of the time. :lol: :yesnod:
Anyone who has gone through a full body-off resto has this type of
knowledge - so I would be glad to share my slight on all the body off resto
stuff and 'body component exchange'. (70+75)/2=73

 

TwinTurbo needs to be in here for sure. Not sure where since he is good at lots of things.....maybe engine/ trans/ rear diff/ trailing arms/ rear wheel assemblies...... :yesnod:

I know "a little bit about every category", not enough in one area to be classified as an "Expert", except for sorority girls :D

I do have a degree in Psychology in case some need help! :lol:

We have a nice list going.
:cheers:

I'm just finishing a Shark BBC install, and this is my second season roadracing in the SCCA, my racecar is an '84 Camaro, but racin is racin and I can possibly be of some service in this area.
Evam

 

I'll take Fiberglass body work for 500, Alex. I've been doing that for eons.

I'll also take the POS '77 model year. Been going through everything on mine, and am ready to custom-chop the interior and rear window glass for a perfectly customized look and feel.

Else, I've done everything from powertrain (engine lifters/valves/HOLLEY carbs, less tranny, of course), to SS brakes/parking brakes, to power steering rebuilds.

 

Me? I'm just a botcher :D put my down for that

 

I can try to help with the following:
*Body Off restoration
*Big block swap (454)
*Auto to manual swap (Richmond 5 speed)
*VB&P suspension
*Steeroids
*Hydroboost
*Wheels
*79's in general...
:cheers:

I CAN TRY ??????? :skep: Jay would be a great place to start :thumbs: This forum is loaded with talent! :crazy:

 

I have been studiously ignoring this thread, but the time has finally come for me to submit my .02 worth... and here it is:
(In general.......)
I know nothing!!

:lol:

I don't know squat about Vetts, thats why I spend so much time here asking questions. :confused:

 

Stop the madness! :D

I work at a Rechroming shop here in Michigan and if anyone has questions concerning that area I can answer most of the questions and if I can not I will make sure to ask the Boss and see what he has to say. I do know that they can not Chrome your wheels! They can polish the aluminum wheels up really nice but not chrome.
Also to let you know I have just purchases some used Headers and Sidepipes for my 1974 Vette and I am rechroming them all on my own. I am not having any of the polishing guys do it for me as I want to learn how to do this without counting on someone else. I have done some shorty Headers for a SB that turned out really nice but the side exhaust headers should be a trip! I am taking pictures to show everyone my experience once its all completed. In the end it probably would have been better to just buy a new set but hey this way I will know that the Chrome on there is GOOD!
Also I have an Uncle that does Electrical work (Batterys, alternators, Starters, ect...) for a living so I may be able to refer some questions to him. (however he is a 1980 Camaro guy and not a Corvette guy but back then the electrics were pretty much the same)

 

Don't forget about Detailing / waxing tips which we all do way too much! :flag

 

not all of us, I have never detailed or waxed my car (fearing the paint would come off even worse that in already did ;) )

 

Put me down for de-bubba-izing... too much stuff to list.
