Default daytime running lights


HID fog lamps come on with the the ignition and without the marker lights.

Grabbed power from the pink wire. Thanks to CF member \"I HATE BARKING DOGS"

Love the black rose. Everyone thinks it's acustom paint job!

Just finished up installing completely new Pioneer audio system. 6x9s in the rear, 4" in the front with Pioneer 1 DIN bluetooth supported head unit. Mounted the microphone in the gauge cluster, looks and works great!

Topped it all off with a nice shine-up using Meguire's quick wax spray (for now)

Now to clean the garage !!! Somewhat of a crappy photo but had the garage door shut to keep her safe from the inclimate weather.

Installed the chrome over plastic letters that say "Corvette" on rear. They are from BDTrims and are excellent. I highly recommend them. Working on patching a tear in the seat. Takes time and patience but a fun day even if it is still raining in Alabama

Thanks! Needs only a small bit of maintenance (oil change, heater core backflush, a couple of burnt bulbs) and with the sun finally coming out in TN/AL this weekend I figure it needs a few more miles on her!

Installed a new set of AC Delco spark plug wires.

The problem had been severe miss just after a rain. I'm surprised it even ran based on the condition of many of the wires.
I'll test drive tomorrow during a protracted cold rain. Hope this is the last "gotta do" till Spring.

I believe mine were also originals but ~50k miles and 30yrs took their toll on them.
Drove her today in moderate rain/humidity; quicker startup, smoother operation == problem solved.

Thanks Bob
I towed mine (84) with u-haul flat bed car hauler (trailer) worked great and was reasonable.

I bought poly bushings for both front and rear. The fronts aren't very accommodating either!
Good Luck!

Temps dropped below freezing after a long rain and the damn doors froze up because the two carpets froze together.

After getting them open I taped thin plastic sheet to cover the door carpet to keep the two pieces from touching. I'm sure it will do the job but confirmation will come with the next rain/freeze "event".
