I had 2 other projects since then but i still loved my old 69 so i sold them to get my current 69. I emailed you once about your car and vinyl top. Its funny that you want to get rid of yours and im trying to add one to mines. In my opinion vinyl tops are way sexy on 69 Camaros so if you leave it on i wouldnt dislike your car at all... just to prove to you how much i like your car im building it just like your car. Hugger Orange with black vinyl top. Just so you know i love drag lites and have them but i was currently looking at some vintage wheels myself. 18 inch all around... i one day will post pictures. So even if your car is low budget its still awsume and beautifull in some of us guys and im sure your friend is up stairs looking at you with two big thumbs up......

Thank you very much. :thumbsup:

One thing I loved about the Draglites was the weight, they are very light compared to the new V-40's.

My description may not be clear, I really don't mind the vinyl top on this car. It only works with certain color schemes and I happen to have one that works.......for me at least. :D

Looking forward to seeing those pictures. :thumbsup:

Well it's on the ground and ready test for leaks, bed in brakes, and see how the steering, braking, and shifting mods feel.

Now if Mother Nature would coorperate.........rain through Friday. :(

How's the spoke to caliper clearance in your new wheels?

It's about 3-3.5mm.

Big improvement in clamping power, Kore3 set-up definitely exceeded my expectations. Even with the rear drums they'd suffice for a recreational track day.

The Lee steering box mods (12.7:1 and 32 lb. valving) are exceptional. Lock to lock is 2 1/8 - 2 1/4 and I like it! :thumbsup:

The American Powertrain White Lightning shifter felt very good but..........

See the bubble at 9 o'clock?

In twenty miles it's already leaked more than the Hurst unit in 500.

So is it me and my trans or :question:

Sorry to hear about your t56 issues. On your wheels with the 3-3.5mm clearance that's without any type of spacer correct? Would you say that's enough clearance even under spirited driving and wheel flex?

No spacer and it should be plenty of clearance.
