NOTE:
Items marked MU = Mark Uptmor
Items marked MA = Mac in Georgia
Mark has been extremely helpful in moving
me along with this project. If you need a part for a C3 see Mark,
he will probably have it and for a good price. Ebay is a great source for parts
Well, in order to save money, I have decided to power the vette with Adrianpower! Forget blowers, I can just open my mouth for Ram Air Induction! LOL!
