The vette is 1976, which I bought from Chigaco and shiped over the seas to Finland. I have worked on this project now for 5-6 years. I made a full body-off restoration, build new 383 engine with tko-600 and so on...
The car looks great. I'm surprised we're not doing more of these rubber bumper C3s over here. They are great starter cars for a pro-touring type build. Very nice job. Enjoy.
Whats the story in the rack and pinion.... is it a kit for the C3 or somthing you fabricated.. if so whats the donor car??

It´s a "reblica" set up from the rac and pinion kit for Vette. Rac and pinion is from Beretta 199(0-5)? That has beeb an awesome upgrade and I have to thank my Vette friends from Finland especially Nipa how have created this kit.
You could say that this kit is fabricated to take some more beating than the original kit. The steel brackets are few mm stronger and there are some extra supports for this system. I love this precis and fast steering.
Good to see you posting here Harri! Harri is a great example of talent and skill. He's done most of the work on his car by himself. Hats off!
Rubberbumper vettes are dirt cheap, very fun cars, easy to work on, parts readily available and they can be made to handle ok too...
Here's my rubber duck at Nurburgring...
Thanks! GJ has been a great inspiration for me and I quess you have worked as a pioneer on this pro touring field in Finland, especially among Corvette maniacs.
I have to update this thread... some progress over here in Scandinavia. I now have new rims, all the emblems are attached, interios is ready and I also tuned my car in a dyno... a short vid can be found from youtube "Corvette C3 dyno, Finland"
