    Leather Seats

    I bought the set of vinyl covers and foam from Al Knoch. The covers wer very nice but the foam was terrible. Ended up selling them (half of what I paid for them) and buying from Zip Corvette. I did all the frame prep and install myself using the hog ring and hog ring pliers. They turned out...

    C3 issues for new buyer

    My seat frames were bent and broken .... I blasted them straightened them out, re-welded them and added on a 3/16” reinforcement plate (I fabricated my own but you can buy them). It isn’t pretty but once the foam and covers go on you will never see it again. Also, I have a pair of bottom...

    Hood Support

    These are off my April 1971 build date on my 71. I took the hood and support off and everything worked as it should. You will see in the pictures the support looks to be the same as yours but the bolt holes on the hood for the support are a much wider distance. Somewhere back in time there...

    Recommendations of good paint shops

    I had never painted a car before. I stripped my 71 down to bare fiberglass...did all the repairs, primed it and blocked it. Was going to send it out to have it sprayed but instead painted it myself in my two car garage....lots and lots and lots of work/hours but the bragging rights were worth...

    C3 Seats

    To give you an idea....and the prices I list are in US dollars.....I had to pay exchange, taxes and shipping including brockerage fees (no different than buying the complete seats). I used my old frames, tracks and most of the hardware. I added the reinforcement plate, sandblasted and painted...

    Wanted 1971 Wiper arms

    Looking for a pair of wiper arms for a 1971. These arms have the brass tubes, top to bottom, not rubber. I understand that 69 to early 74 will fit.

    C3 Seats

    I just ordered foam and the covers from Al Knoch in Texas. Ordered replacement hardware for the seats from Corvette Central. From what I read, Al Knoch is the standard for interior parts.

    Wanted 71 wiper motor/pump

    Thanks for the heads up on the pump. The motor/pump I have that was on the car when I got it was the wrong motor, possibly 74 or 75, the electrical connections are different and I’m not cutting a brand new wiring harness. Cheers!
