You say its your birthday ... Its my birthday too, yeah.  

I suppose I can't complain, the only time I really have issues with traffic is during race weekends.

Southwest VA drivers are a PITA though. 

Welcome Eike! 

I lived and worked in Detriot for a short time.  Unfortunately, it was before the Heritage Center opened. 

Seeing that almost gives me enough motivation to visit the area again.

Almost.

My wife will be driving me to work tomorrow, in the '76 of course.  Sunny, 100 degrees, without A/C . . . I know she's gonna love it. 

I believe the orginal looked like this:

You can get a replacement that looks like it, but with some updated features.  Here's the one Mid America is selling, and probably the other Corvette parts dealers as well:

Custom Autosound and RetroSound both offer "classic look" radios, but they are definitely not going to pass for orginals:

I'm not a stereo guy, so I can't really make any recommendations.  Maybe somebody else can chime in.

That's a great looking car, sliding! 

Yeh, at least $10k too much.  Without the stripes and with a 4spd, it could potentially reach that number.

But I'd still take it.

Welcome crazytigr! 

Sorry, I can't help with the knowledge part. 

Hmm, don't know anything about them. 

They do look nice though.

Art, check your PM Inbox.

It's very interesting how similar some of the structure is to the aircraft I work with.  Very impressive stuff!

No problem!

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure it's this one, and I likely got it from Jeg's.  They also have a red one and a black one for less coin, but I liked the chrome. 

Measures in at 3" diameter and about 15" total length:

Pretty much as expected.  Way too many have suffered the same fate, unfortunately. 

Bill's suggestion is popular for C3s as well.  I've got a 2.5lb Halon 1211, fits fine in front of the pass. seat, though I know the C4 foot wells are a bit tighter.

Dang, that's terrible DB.  Hope the damage isn't too bad. 

   Thanks All!!

Hmm, I guess I never really considered  open wheelers to be things of beauty, so the new design doesn't bother me that much. 

Thanks all for the C3 love! 

I'm voting for Durango_Boy's badass powerplant.

Anybody that can get one of those crossfire distributor caps to work reliably deserves the credit.

Thanks!  If you stick with the C3 tracks, it's a pretty easy install.  I did a write-up on it in this thread.

Thanks!  Yes, out of a friends '99.  They had 120k+ miles on them, so they were pretty much shot - he found a good complete set out of a salvage, so I got these.  We installed new foam, and a guy in Georgia made the covers for me with the custom embroidery, and the arm rest pad to match!

Here's my entry!  Don't get much more recent than these.  One from Saturday, the rest today. 

Nice! 

My original valve had expired as well.  I've got a manual valve in mine right now and just open it for the cold days.

When I finally get around to bringing my climate control system up to par, I may put one of those back in.  Good to know it works as intended!

Just a month away!

It appears there is no hood, no headlight doors, and no t-tops ... I would bet there is no back window either.

Therefore, said sticker is on one of the rear bumpers, assuming they are actually there.

  I'm less than 2 miles from the state line.

Welcome! 

Another C3 guy here, but I have been under a couple of C4s the past few years.

Hmm . . . no beer . . . how about moonshine? 

Nice job Matt! 

Very nice DB!   Looks much better than your previous set IMO. 

I've got some friends that have done this, and they say it's a fantastic event!  

The Spirit of Daytona team was untouchable all weekend.  Congrats to the Corvette DP teams for a great showing! 

And here's my pics from the trip. 

 to Matt for calling me out.
