    Rear Seats (COUPE)

    No longer need these. I think they were last reupholstered around 2008, so they have some normal wear and tear on the vinyl, but are in overall pretty good condition. The frames themselves are in great shape and barely have any rust. $120 OBO, only doing local pickup in or around Chattanooga TN.

    Misc Coupe Items

    Cleaning out the garage of some stuff I no longer have use for. Free to a good home, just pay shipping via PayPal. Of course I wouldn't complain if someone wanted to donate to my beer money fund. 1: Clips for holding package tray in place. These go behind the rear seats. 2: Leaf spring shock...

    Has anyone attempted a rear seat delete?

    Ok wrapped it up today. Not show quality by any means, and I still need to fix the paint on the quarter trim panels, but it gets the job done and saved me a good bit of weight. I went ahead and made a new package tray as well. Made a "flap" on top of the trunk divider piece and put some Velcro...

    Has anyone attempted a rear seat delete?

    Started mocking it up with some cardboard as a template to get the dimensions right. Nothing too complex on the coupe, so this should be a pretty straightforward job.  I found some 1/8" fiberglass reinforced ABS sheet that should be perfect, so the plan is to glue carpet onto the front, and lay...

    Has anyone attempted a rear seat delete?

    Looks great! Thanks for the pics, that's pretty much exactly what I'm going for.

    Tail of the Dragon

    Thanks! It's a standard non-NACA hood that the previous owner put a boss scoop on. It has somewhat functional ram air as there is a cutout and the air filter is a stream-top style and sits right below the opening.

    Has anyone attempted a rear seat delete?

    Considering this for my car as I don't ever use the rear seat for passengers - there's essentially no legroom in the coupes. And I think I should be able to shave at least 50lbs in weight by doing so. I've seen some kits out there for earlier year cars, but none for the 71-73s. Looking at using...

    Tail of the Dragon

    Couple shots from this past weekend. Got a chance to really push the new suspension components and they performed exceptionally well.

    3rd member install recommendations

    I ended up affixing an old flex plate on the floor jack, and the setting the chunk on top of it to lift it into position. Worked pretty good.

    3rd member install recommendations

    Funny enough I'm actually doing the same job today and am wondering the same. Didn't wanna hassle with dropping the housing, so I'll have to find a way to lift it up solo as well

    New Spring advice front and rear, Height of fenders, Passenger side rear is lower by 5/8" now....or maybe a bit lower.

    Ditto on that. The sheet metal where the topside of the shock mounts is not very thick. I supposed you could always weld a plate in to beef it up, but the angle may be tricky since they kind of sit down in a hole behind the seat.

    Anyone know how to get a Grant horn button to function and not just spew sparks?

    I had the same symptoms. The issue I had with mine was that the copper contact plate that is glued onto the metal piece was off center. Terrible QC. I compared it to an old one that was made about 15 years prior and you could tell that they didn't position the contact plate correctly. It was at...

    New vendor to me: Ecklers

    I've been using them pretty regularly during the restoration of a friend's 1975 Corvette.

    Fuel Gauge Malfunction

    Sounds like the sending unit wire is being grounded out somewhere. If you pull the plug off of the sending unit on the tank side, does the needle go back down to empty?

    Suspension Overhaul

    Ok have a concern regarding wheel centering that maybe someone can help me with. Right now I'm using these lug nuts I bought on summit. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/gor-21183et The extended shank fits snugly into the wheels, which in turn helps to center them when I install them onto the...

    Suspension Overhaul

    Another clearance check after getting the rear tires mounted. Will definitely need to roll the fenders, as the inner lip is making contact with the tire at about 1.5" of suspension travel. I know I have exactly 2.87" of rear suspension travel at full compression, so rolling them should get me...

    Suspension Overhaul

    Very exciting day as the rear wheels and tires came in. The front and rear spacing is about as perfect as I could ask for. The clearance between the wheel and fender lip is almost exactly the same as the front wheels (15/16"), although I may have to roll the fenders as these tires have a taller...
