Default Howdy boys, I'm back

Well it's been too long since I've posted on here, so it's high time I go from lurking to posting again

Hope to catch up with some of you again and get to know the rest of you officially.

For those of you that don't know I have an 84' crossfire with a 383 stroker and 4+3

Sorry back in the 2002-2010 era the c4 section was touch more like family

I've mostly been driving the F350 and dealing with having 4 kids since I dropped off here completely about 6 years ago. Planning on tearing into the 84 heavier than I ever have for the next 7 months. Well, more so than the normal wear n tear maintenance and the stroker build anyways.

Welcome back! Do you have any recent pics of your 84? What all do you need to get done on the car?

The fuel pump went out this winter, and i ended up working all but 5 days during January and February, with all those 12 hr shifts I completely lost track of time and forgot to put the maintainer on before the battery went completely dead, so there's 2 things to replace.

I need to replace shocks, the red Koni's that are on there are just not doing their job anymore.

Ds door weatherstripping needs replaced, the rest is good, but i already bought it for both doors anyways. While I'm doing that I may as well lube the window ribbons, and I'm debating sound deadner inside them while im at it. One of the window guides scratched the tint, so ill replace all the guides and have all the glass retinted.

Might as well pull out all the interior and put in sound deadner, replace the rest of the interior lights with led bulbs, swap out the 4 point cam lock seat belts with the 4 point with a normal push latch type that are more kid and wife friendly.

Swap out the 10 year old radio with a Bluetooth, usb, aux one.

Replace all the suspension bushings

Replace everything rubber under the hood, get the cruise control working again, swap out all the original black wire loom with red to match everything I replaced during the 383 build, maybe powdercoat the dingy valve covers

Swap out all the exterior lights with LED

Probably put in a DeWitt radiator, maybe repaint the rear bumper

Take pictures to share on here, and go for a lot of long out of the way drives



Afraid this is the most recent picture i have on my phone since I'm at work. This douchebag broke into a lot of vehicles in the neghborhood

Yep. Those days are gone.

Too much sensitivity from the newbs. Tend to take things very seriously.

Was lots of fun though eh?

That it was. Probably a big factor in the mentality then was it was us vs the "new" C5s. Now it's way harder to even compare a C4 to the current generation's power numbers.

No the guy didn't break into the vette, he tried
twice that month tho. That night I had driven my dad's F250 home since I was upgrading the turbo in my F350



Everyone loves pictures right?



Color ads a nice touch

Anyways, I'll probably be asking a question if I can't find the answer thru previous posts. Like where to buy the interior light switch for the hatch, it was missing when I bought the car, and its starting to bug the crap out of me that i don't have it

If you aren't able to find it on Corvette Central or Mid America Corvette or Ecklers, you may want to post a want to buy ad here on the forum. Maybe someone is parting out a C4 and has it cheap.
