When my car was only 8 or so years old, and I was a much younger man, my father got me a new boot as a birthday present. This is before they were available, at least easily, as a replacement. The upholstery shop drilled my trim and put in the snaps. It is MUCH easier to put on the cover...

I love a happy ending!

Time to get some 'standard' sockets and wrenches! That's a good looking ride and you have come to the right place to get some encouragement and help!

Start with the simple stuff. Does the top hose get hot and do you 'see' water flow with the radiator cap off? If not then possibly a stuck thermostat (or installed backwards.. yep, I've done that). Easy to pull and test. Put it in a pan of water on the stove and set to bail. You should see...

I really like it!

Greetings from Phoenix! Post some pics!

No need to lose sleep. The oil provides a lot of cooling. And it was just idling.

Always swap the thermostat first. Test it if you can. Cheap and easy.

beautify baby you've got there. And when you think about it, we do interact with the steering wheel more than anything else (except perhaps the pedals)

I just zoomed in on the hard top pictures and noticed the same hole elongation exercise seems to have been committed.

My 1973 convertible motor mounts do not look like the pictures of the ‘captive’ motor mounts I have reviewed on the site. Zooming into the one picture it is obvious that the mount was modified with a grinder by elongating the hole. I believe I was the culprit, I have owned this car for 40 years...

Edit: Looking at pictures of Motor Mounts these do not have the 4 things that look like rivets. They look like 71/72 mounts but I have no idea why I would have them since I never owned a 71/72. While Cleaning out the attic I found what I believe is a set of used 73 convertible mounts...

I have a set, this is a great reference source.

BBEEUUTTIIFFULL! Welcome from Phoenix. Beautiful car you've got there.

Red locktight and replace with a stud.

Wow! I love the color. Welcome! You'll have a lot of fun here.

Glad to help, I meant to leave some comments on the pictures but they are pretty self explanatory. I had to reroute the exhaust. The convertible has a plate that crosses the tunnel under the car. My exhaust was running through it but with the GV it was too tight so now I run below it. So...

I have a 351C with a c6 and gear vendor. It fits. It's tight but it fits without having to do any modifications to the floor. 73 Convertible. BTW, I love my GV.
