Update: I fixed the switch on the driver door that turns on the courtesy light. It just needed cleaned – too bad I bought a new one. I chose not to install it since the end was plastic and did not look like the original. I also installed the support springs for the headlights – replacing three broke...

Some repairs from last week: - The carb would not open all the way when flooring the accelerator. This was probably because it has the wrong carb. I overcame this by securing the throttle linkage to the carb in a hole closer to the pivot point (where the cruise hooked to the carb). It was not the co...

This Corvette is nowhere near original. I have spent a lot of time looking at it and learning. Here is what...

I think Paul will win with the most "projects".

Bought the car at an estate sale auction on 6/11/05 - paid $3900. It is a 1975 Corvette coupe with the L48 350, and a turbo 400 tranny. It is dark red metallic with black interior. It barely ran - but I am fairly sure they wanted it to start at sale time. It idled real rough and backfired quite a bi...
