65sting Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Just got this week. Sold the '65 in January and have been looking for a straight, numbers steel bumper C3. Started by changing all, belts, hoses, battery, tires (BFG's), fluids, wash, wax and tune up. Runs great, has not been driven regular in 7 or 8 years. Starting a punch list.

65sting Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 No wonder the drivers side seat belt was stuck!A little elbow grease, cleaners and lubricant made it work, including the seat belt warning light now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bromley's Corvettes Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 The seat belts probably not been used in years. I can see somethings under the hood you could clean up:) Paint the master cyl and chrome cap and some nice polished alum valve covers and air cleaner and paint the vacuum pod on the firewall:) Some coated headers or S.S side pipes would look cool:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bromley's Corvettes Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Did you check the tire presser in your new BFGs? Sometimes the tire shops only do what it takes to seat the bead and they dont go back and set presser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
65sting Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 Yes, I had to go back and watch them, they balanced on both sides, no good for the original trim ring clips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bromley's Corvettes Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Yes the stock trim rings suck lol. The after market ones have a different style of clips they go all the way around so the weights dont get in the way. Once the stock style ones get messed up hard to fix them. Guys pound the crap out of them trying to get them to go on all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
