He will get some pictures to me. They have been in storage for 30+ years. I know they are made by Kustom but have a Chevy part # and stampings, etc. I think he's more curious as to what they might be worth. Haven't had much luck finding more. Must be pretty rare. Thanks again.

C3 Factory Restoration:: Wiring harness
Painless wiring has a universal harness PN# 10101 12 cicuit unit. I have used painless on two projects and its painless. I rewired my 87 vette in the spring the old school way, one wire at a time.

C3 Factory Restoration:: 1979 L82 Hood Emblem Question
Thanks for the info. fellas......and I appreciate the diagram Durango_Boy. I'll look at the underside of the hood this weekend. The previous owner also removed the rear bumper 'CORVETTE' emblem. I know it's an L82 by the VIN number digits.
