It's breezy here in Houston Tx 64 degrees, went to the Airshow Sunday and watched the thunderbird fighter jets put on a n awsome show, Got the new windshield in my 87 vette installed only $135 dollars at Low price auto glass in Pasadena Tx looks really good lined up nice and no wind noise or leaks. Today i get liability insurance and found that for 60 bucks down 40 dollars a month at aamco auto insurance can't wait to drive her to my first vette show!!!!

this might sound silly but , i feel a big differance on how my tire pressure is! changeing it 5.psi lower or higher might make it feel a lot less sluggish.

Ok im confused, im getting my front windshield replaced on my 87 coupe some of the places i call say to replace it i will need some additional molding on the top and a inner seal, but i called corvettes of houston and the tech told me the windshield is simply glued in, i dont need any additional seals and he seemed to be very experianced older tech he told me like 3 times all you need to do is glue it in. does any one else know something about this????

thanks for your time Servando

the paint i used was from pep boys auto is just a basic interior plastic vinyl spray paint can, but i suggest preping the piece with scotch brite pads or what you call fine steel wool and also clean evrything off with Acetone, then you will be ready to paint, be sure to shake every couple seconds and have a small rag to clean off the nozzle it will clog and splatter, note this is just a temp. fix that looks really good! until i buy my brand new door replacement's this is a 20 dollar fix that will hold me over till i save for the new door panels, but they do look really nice if done correctly. to any other regular person they will never know you painted them!!!

Thanks Servando.

I OWNED A 99 HARDTOP THAT DIED IN A T-BONE WITH A DODGE TRUCK THAT TOOK A RED LIGHT AT AN INTERSECTION, I ACTUALLY FLIPPED THE TRUCK ON ITS SIDE AND MY CORVETTE SAVED MY LIFE IT IS TRULEY A SAFE CAR AND IT DID EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS DESIGNED TO DO. FRONT END TOTALLY DISINTEGRATED AND BLEW INTO PIECES, AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND REALLY HELPED "AND NO IT DIDNT BURN MY FACE" I MISS MY BABY AND I AM IN THE MARKET FOR A C5 AGAIN A SOON AS I FINISH MY C4 RESTORE,
