For old grease monkeys like me, we are truly living in a transitional age. Dino-motors are making incredible horsepower, but are in their final gasp at greatness. Once everything goes the way of computerized, automated (read no driver), electric appliance, commuter-mobiles, the car hobby is...

So why my obsession with these big ol' Chevys? Well, aside from their beautiful lines, and a trunk large enough for at least 4 bodies, I'm getting a little blas

Yep. I can lift the new spring with one (count 'em....one) finger.

Also, there was a special RPO D-96 stripe option available only on the SS427, and only in 1967. A mere 200 were built with these stripes.

Doug, I thought you might like to see one as a convertible...

The Performance Plus suspension kit replaces just about everything on the car, front and rear. Offset trailing arms. Not part of above kit. Spreader bar. Not part of above kit.

Ummmm... ;) I haven't had it weighed yet, but I know that most of the weight loss is from the front end; probably 80% of it.

The thread in C3, about modifications done, got into weight loss with the monoleaf rear spring. Since I don't have a C3, I didn't want to mess up that thread, but it did get my pre-Spring juices flowing. You've all heard the number one argument against big blocks in C2 and C3...

Way to haul in the firewood. Well done, Steamer. :D

You're too kind, Riley. Truth is, there's no fun in cars without an audience. We've all got a bit of showbiz in our souls or we wouldn't own Corvettes, right? :D A major project is akin to a highwire act. It's fun swinging up there, but we all hope for a safe landing, eh? Eh? Eh? :rofl...

There's a Stop Drive Clean petition online. Take Action | Scrap Drive Clean.ca Every step we can take may help. Be sure to scroll through the online version to read all the 'whereas'es. They sure sum up the problems with this fiasco. If you haven't been stung by the new electronic data...

I would certainly use potassium sulphate again as it left a very smooth, undamaged surface to work with.

Over four 25Kg bags of potassium sulphate.

Thanks, Steamer, but I won't be spending big money on 3x2's. The hood and rocker mouldings alone could eat up over $8,000. The following photo is of a big '67 Chevy build that someone is doing the right way. I believe that it's a regular Impala Super Sport, but doing the car from a complete...

As the following ad was designed in the summer of 1966, it displays at least two errors that didn't make it into production.
