Car looks great! I like those seats...keep up the good work, you're on the home stretch!

Made a hanger for the cold air intake. It’s a 1” roll bar mount and brazed the aluminum tab on the tube

Got 72 miles on her now. So far so good! Working on little things and the interior still

Narrowing the rear seat. Hopefully get to my buddies house with a welding machine today to finish it up

Rear seat narrowed. Was super easy

Up on a buddy’s lift nut and bolt the car.

Your 67 is awesome!
I like the stance.
I love the color
Wheels are killer
Now go enjoy!

Thank you! Very happy with how it turned out! Have been driving it every chance I get. Went in it for a sweet tooth craving for the wife the other night lol. Up too 143 miles now

New tires. Continental Extreme Contact sport's front- 245/40/18 & rear - 295/35/18

Alignment done as well per Ridetech instructions

My son working on daddy's car

Rolling pic with a buddy driving coming home from new tires & alignment

Don't know why my pics upload sideways?!?!

Good lookin' ride
 

thank you! wheels ended up matching by luck lol. found them used on craigslist after i picked the body color

front subframe is stock, with a ridetech level 2 kit. handed the ridetech instructions to the alignment guy and said this is what i need

from my instructions when i bought the kit in 2015 - Have the alignment shop set the car with ½ degree negative camber, 2-3 degrees positive caster, and 1/8” toe in.

double checked my instructions with what is online now 2019 and they are different.....now online - Have the alignment shop set the car with ½ degree negative camber, 3-5 degrees positive caster, and 1/16”-1/8” toe in.

What about tire wear? Car will be 100% street use for now, no foreseeable track use

I would add a little more negative camber to help avoid any tire rubbing. -.5 degrees is good imho.

Too much caster can result in a fair amount of jacking. I had quite a bit of caster with my Ridetech Tru-Turn setup and the steering joints were groaning when I turned the wheels. Those heims are not very forgiving of dust etc imho....

Already had some rubbing. Replaced the outer fender bolts with button heads and made some room with some hammer taps. No more rubbing

I did the same thing.

There is a classic car cruise on 20th if interested.

Add some negative camber for increased margin.

Caster
 

99% of driving miles are run straight ahead, caster doesn't affect the angle of the tire relative to the pavement, so does not affect wear. It DOES improve stability and "return-to-center" after turning.

During turns, caster tilts the outside wheel inboard at top so preventing tire "tuck under" thereby improving tire life.

Extreme caster (8* and more) will cause tire wear and is too much on a wet road with low profile tires.....car will PUSH BAD.
Four degrees is very conservative.

Everybody needs "slalom" when that autonomous Tesla comes out of the side-street.......not just for autocross guys.

VERY simple explanation (there are other factors at work)::::Caster is the difference between shopping cart wheel flutter, and a bicycle when u push it along using the seat only. Caster being the angle of the head stem where the steering bearings are.

Where at? Give me some details please

Thank you! I get it better now

Had to replace the pilot bearing last week....thinking it was my fault it went out, installed wrong. Anyways got it replaced with the bushing this time and things are good to go again!

Pain in the azz to get to.

that ain't no lie! lol

Have a Griffin in it now and it’s been leaking on both sides where the tanks connect to the core.

Looking for a new setup. Let me know what y’all suggest. Thanks!

Believe it or not, I've been using a Champion radiator since 2011 and so far haven't had any issues.

However, I've been looking at the C&R set up.

My brother runs a champion with good luck too

Small leak? If so just add the gm radiator tablets. It was actually suggested by a prc before and solved my buddies issue on his

Did you use wellnuts to install your radiator so it can move when it expands?

Don

I've had three of those Griffin radiators fail. Two under warranty and one not. They act like they never have any failures in the LS swap line. It was mounted with well nuts on one side and bolts on the other like to OE is. I eventually switched to a universal triple pass and made rubber mounts. So far so good.

Both tanks dripping where the core meets the tanks almost top to bottom

Used well nuts to mount

Bummer! Seems like most people’s experience with them are the same

Ordered up a DeWitts lsx with fans. Can’t wait!

Haven't updated this in a while. Lets see if I can get it caught up

Got the Dewitts rad installed, quality unit! Installed a better overflow can at this time as well

Next the t56 started having some issues after a night out of playing. GW helped get it out of the car. Love having him help on it.

Drove 9hr round trip to drop the t56 off at Texas Drivetrain Performance in Dallas. Jason and his crew tore it down on the spot and reviewed everything with me! Had it shipped home

Got it installed and it feels so much better and more positive! Kept the LS7 clutch and its doing great

Ordered a Vintage Air kit before going on paternity leave, hoping to install it while I was off. No luck on that happening. Time to wait till it cools off and knock it out then
