    Pretty awesome Corvette, looks great when stance is lowered a bit. Like the colour as well.

    Hi can you give a few
    More details of what was done to lower the car that way and the size of the wheels?
    Thx

    Those WIDE O OVAL's really set the car off. What size are they? I've got BFGoodrich's on my 74 convertible but may get a set of those. Also what did you do to lower it, what parts?

    Beautiful car. I have a 73 that I am about to lower, did you cut the springs? If so how much did you take out?

    Very nice is it a big block car and are you using header or stock exhaust manifolds

    Nice car I'm building a frame off 69 roadster. Black/red car 4sd side pipes. I went with all van steel suspension with coil overs all 4 corners and steroids rack and pinion steering. What did you go with? Also ordered sweet thunder pipes.

    Love the hood, I have a 71 and want to get rid of the wiper door as well. How did you get a long hood to fit and line up with your fenders? And where did you get the 69 side pipes as a kit?

    Great job, perfect stance. how did you lower it?

    • @stellanti
      @stellanti  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Cut the front springs a bit, bought longer bolts from a plumbing supply company for the rear. I think rear is 8” bolt, got a 10” which allows you to lower it much more.

    Oh my! Is that original yellow? What yellow code is that?!

      It is the original color, Sunflower Yellow, but it had frame off restoration and was repainted.

    Did you paint your license plate? I live in Florida and have been tempted to do the same. I hate the look of the baby blue antique plate. Your car is beautiful.

    • @stellanti
      @stellanti  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, I primarily drive it in NH and police don’t know the colors of FL plates, especially because there is like 8 million plates to choose from in FL. I just wanted it to look like CA and match the car.

    Sweet Ride! I'm thinking about swapping a 5 speed into my 72 as well. Was there any cutting needed in the firewall to add the clutch pedal? Did you go hydraulic clutch?

    • @stellanti
      @stellanti  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you! There was some cutting needed for pedal assembly. It’s hydraulic, bought the entire manual kit from American Powertrain in Tennessee.
