Introducing project SINISTER, 73 corvette

[black73vette]

Im gonna do the grand touring plus system. Ive never seen a c3 done in all black like this so it should be pretty cool. Also I should add im 23 and this car is the first corvette I ever rode in, in the 7th grade! I have always wanted it and finally after the previous owner let it go way down hill convinced him to sell it to me.

I'm tuned into this one. I have a 79 l-84 that I am about to tear into. Mine ain't downhill though, it's a 75k mile survivor. She is black on black already. snakeater

Sounds like a cool project
Have you looked at the VB&P performance plus kit?
I've had the VB&P performance plus kit on my '69 for about 2 years now. It is an awesome setup- being able to adjust spring rates and ride height in 15 minutes is really cool. If I were to do it again though, I would piece it together myself. I plan on replacing the upper control arms with the SPC tall ball joint arms (gives you a better camber curve), and some kind of double adjustable shocks instead of the bilstiens (Bilstiens are too stiff for my car- weight is down to 2960lbs wet). I find the rear swaybar they give you is too big (3/4"). I've been running with no rear bar, looking for a factory style 9/16" bar. Look into the 5-links offered ($$$) or design one yourself (5 or 6 link).
I also noticed you didnt say anything about some kind of upgraded steering system... I fabbed up a quick ratio manual rack and pinion for my car and absolutely love it. Of course there is the steeroids/rack attak kits or the new bourgeson kits to look at also.
www.vettemod.com has alot of really great info on serious corvette modifications from some reputable (IMO) people.

^ I will look into that suspension kit. I will prob be doing the steeroids kit although I havent made up my mind on it 100% yet.
