I am neary done with steeroids and a whole bunch of little stuff but I was looking at getting a Lambo door kit. I think we discussed them before, But I dont know if anyone has seen them in action? I would like to know what type of opening clearence I could expect. Also how difficult is it to remove the front fenders as from what I understand in order to do the install that must be removed.
Thanks,
Will

Make sure your doors and doorjams are in tip top condition. This adds a lot of new stress to the doors. Saw a mid 70s C3 tear or of the jam - it was rusted from the inside of the birdcage. If you haven't yet, remove the kick panels and look in there. That should be a good indicator.

I was looking at this kit http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CORVETTE-C3-VERTICAL-DOORS-KIT-LAMBO-DOORS-68-to-82_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ42611QQihZ016QQitemZ260411752743QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW
A direct bolt on.I did talk to one installer last year who used a universal kit but I was not too impressed with his install knowledge. The above kit looks complete and solid.
Kinda pricey...785. But interesting. Let us know how it goes.. I have heard stores where they don't fit very good.

Not my cup o' tea, but looks like it could be a good conversation piece. I wonder how easy it is to get in or out of.... not a whole lot of leg room between open door and seat, also, looks like ya might bump yer head if yer not careful.
