    1981 - Battery Box and main wire feeds?

    Appreciate the diagram, explains a lot. Got the assembly binder for a 81; figure a service manual will come in handy as well. What I'm discovering is that 80-82's have variances on just about everything and anything on the subject on wiring. This inc. accessory ground leads from the neg(-) and...

    1981 - Battery Box and main wire feeds?

    Think I may have the answer, but ya never know; 19x previous owners (UVIP) and nothing seems real w/wiring after 40+ years. Uncovered some frayed and general fire hazards, while removing batt for a charge. As you can see, not the best scenario going forward. Am using 10 gauge AWG red wire fixes...

    Corvette Red - #75 (1981)

    Has anyone purchased paint code 75 (Red) from a local auto paint shop here in Toronto, ON? Mostly for touch-up, in the form of a spray can mixed up, or ready made from a company. Because the paint is old on the car, would it be better to have it analyzed first for better blend-in? Who does it?

    Howdy!

    Greetings, from the big-smoke; not quite driving weather yet, eh? Loving the snow dumps, this week. Thinking a snow drift and fibreglass might not be a good idea? *LoL.
