Vette(s): 1981 red with silver interior,350(L-81), 350TH, glass t-tops, aluminium rims, 1980 Black/ Black int., 350 GM crate engine/350TH, 1976 black/ saddle int., L-82 w/headers, holly carb, Hypertech ignition

Tux is right Jim, the yellow is awesome!  Me?  I would opt for more power.  The L81 engine should of been stronger, IMO, beings it was the only engine offered that year.

Vette(s): 1971 convertible,375 HP 350ci,Muncie 4-speed,Edelbrock aluminum heads and RPM air-gap manifold,HEI distrubiter - old school mechanical tach drive. LOUD side exhaust!

I would go for a new interior - yep, I count that as one part! Or maybe a paint job. Or maybe a rebuild of the rear end....

Tough one.  I think I would like more engine power.  Just added the power steering and it is great.  Also to tighten her up and get rid of a few leaks around the tops.

Only 1 thing??  Impossible.  I have all kinds of plans, although my mistress, "Penny," is pretty sexy now (new black leather, carpets, door panels, CD player, BFGs).  I guess it would have to be NEW PAINT (change the color).  Her current RED paint job is a 10-footer.  I'm thinking BLACK.  She'd look awesome Big%20smile in BLACK!! 
 
Rechromed bumpers, front and rear, would be #2. Or would that be 2 and 3? So many upgrades, so little time (and money).Cry
