Good guess Sieg but I think I know exactly what it is (I could be worng, but I've been there before on another project). The way the Wilwwod pedals are fabbed in allows for no actuator rod adjustment, so I'll need to figure out a way to space out the throw out just a little bit. Sucks, but needs to be done.

On the fluid, I'm gonna keep running GM synchromesh and see if the break in helps :cheers:

Ron, it would be way easier to build a new bracket for the brake and clutch sensor than to pull the transmission to shim the throw out.

How many miles on it now Ron?

Good for you Ron. Looks great.

Looking forward to hooking up one of these days with the cars and having some fun putting them through the paces.

Interesting Matt. With the dash, gauges and carpet installed I don't see it but you might be right. We'll have to look at it this coming week.

Thanks for everything Friday. What a great day! :cheers:

Speedo/Odo isn't working Vin, but I'm guessing 80.

Yeah, I think and hope the clutch issue is a simple fix. The first time I looked under the dash and the pedal assembly for the previous clutch issue with jammed up rod, I just unbolted that little bracket that holds the brake light switch.

On another note, your car looks absolutely awesome (besides the stickers :headspin: ) and I'm genuinely happy for you man. I hope you can get some miles on it soon and have fun!

Ron, where did you get the shifter boot? I like it and I've been looking for one like it but can't seem to find one.

Vince@Meanstreets 06-02-2014 11:52 AM

If you are happy with someones work you will display a banner proudly.

Little things like that can help a good shop stay a good shop and in business.

But I bind my build books in the color of the car. Just sayin.

No I won't.

If I'm happy with it I WILL tell everyone where it was done. I'm not trying to hide who did it but I won't display it anywhere on my car. It has nothing to do with being proud of someones work and everything to do with the look of the car.

Heck, I've completely de-badged a few of my vehicles and may do the same to my Camaro whenever I have enough money for paint. Some of the badges are going for sure, others I may keep.

Stickers and badges adorn the walls of my shop and my laptop, but are gone from wherever I don't' like them on a vehicle faster than you can say Zai Jian. :D

Once again, just my anal opinion.

haaaaa stupid iPhone spell check

Ron in SoCal 06-02-2014 04:02 PM

No special arrangemnt w BoS, beyond they do good work and I promptly pay them. The friendship and mutal commitment is just an added bonus. I wear their sticker with pride, but of course it'll come off one day.

Regarding badges and stickers, I don't disagee with you but these days you can't run an event without some sticker. Just the way of the world with event coverage.

OBWK that is a Lokar shift boot and billet ring.

P.S. Gaetano take note, Vince is giving out hugs today :cheers:

Hey Mike, excuse us. :rolleyes:

It's not everyday (or week, or month, or year) that one of these builds actually gets done. When it does happen, members have apparently experienced an odd chemical reaction.

Are you kidding?!?!?! I still had kids in puberty when this build started.


I've posted every dumb comment I can in an effort to boost it past Vegas post count... but it's not to be.

You want more post count for Ron? Then have a mod merge this thread of yours into this one...it's time.

Wrong...
Two things actually.

First, They were all born around the time your build started and second --and more importantly-- they were all considerate enough to post burnout video's on Youtube for others viewing pleasure. It's kind of like a wedding, it may be the happiest day of that couples life, but the rest of the guests need a little help.

Don't make me start a poll!

Oh, and don't think I missed your dig about cars that actually move. :action-smiley-027:

FYI, my car will move, it just needs to stop after it reaches temperature since the fans don't turn on.
