Need LG Streets header help.
 
So I picked up some new LG Streets for my Zo6. I think I could get the job done myself in a weekend as I am somewhat mechanically inclined being an ex c-130 crew chief. But I bet if some fellow 'Vette guys were to help fueled on good beers and pizza we might get it done in one day.:beer:

The seller is just shipping today and are not due to arrive until next week which is the weekend of the Waterside show. I'm hoping for the 17-18 weekend.:cheers:

Anyway if anyone has experience or is interested let me know what you think!

Do you have a lift? Getting it up in the air would make it a lot easier. I'm going to Bowling Green to the Museum and Plant the weekend of the 17th but can hand the real mechanics a wrench, beer, or slice if you tackle it when I'm in town.

Where is your place I did not see it in your profile.:chicken:

I'm sure I don't have the experience you are looking for but depending on the day I would come out and be another set of hands I would like the experience so I could do mine one day :). I will check back and see when you are going to do this and maybe someone with experience will chime in.

I'm in Hampton but my place has a single car garage as you can see below and an uneven driveway. I was hoping to maybe get some airtime on a members lift or I will have to go onto Langley and use the lifts there. Will I need pucks for a lift?

I'd say make sure you get it on a lift too if you can. I'm scared as crap getting under mine on jackstands. If you do get under it on jackstands, throw wheels, cinder blocks, a few sinks, or anyting you can get under it :lol:

I haven't replaced headers on a C5 before, but wouldn't mind giving you a hand.

Just don't ask me to read torque values :leaving:

If you do it on Langley, let me know when, if off I will give a hand. I haven't used the hobby shop in years. I think they only have drive on lifts and you may need a couple of 2" X 10" to get clearance for driving onto the lift. If they have post lift now, I have pucks.

Thanks for all the kind words, I might need to order some more parts so I will hold off on a date. Here is a great pic GreenMan took at waterside last year.
