    Dimensions of white styrofoam blocks in coupe?

    I am working on a 71 coupe that was “lightened” for drag racing 50+ years ago. Those really heavy😉 styrofoam blocks were a casualty. Can anyone share dimensions, so I can make some? Thanks

    rev: you should stick too the c-1's as there is no foam in them. not being a c-3 guy, is your need something a corvette junkyard would have.? there's a yard near breezwood pa full of c-3 and 4 circuses and he's reasonable. doubt he'd ship if the piece is large. good luck, mike mccagh

      I think that Mike was referring to carcasses.

          Well, I meant Mike M; however, I suppose that you both could be dealing with carcasses since I do not think that both of you were in the circus?

                It would certainly assist the rest of us who don't have the blocks either, and those who come after, to have photos and dimensions posted to the forum... just sayin'.

                  Hello Owen,

                  I'm having some difficulties attaching the photos from my computer to my post.
                  That's why I asked Mike for an email address.
                  One of the six or seven photos I'm referring to is in the Interior Section of the 5th edition of the 70-72 Corvette Technical Manual and Judging Guide. It doesn't however indicate any dimensions.

                  Regards,
                  Alan

                    Alan,
                    I am also in need of the white styrofoam dimensions for my ‘71 coupe……
                    I sent you a private message with my request.

                        I am surprised that so many Corvettes are missing those blocks. I wouldn't think they were a high failure item. It kind of makes me wonder fi they were not installed in later chrome bumper C3s. Maybe some investigating is in order.

                            Only a small piece of this puzzle. This was provided to me by the previous owner of my '71.

                              Hmmm. Mine is a '72 #20,284, early-May build.
