So here are a couple of the latest. This one I really like. The sun is poppin the metallic so I had to take this one. Still does not give it justice.

Messed around in the garage on Saturday.
https://photos.smugmug.com/Other/Pho...IMG_6896-M.jpg Gotta get a new belt since I am taking the vacuum pump out of the equation to make it more streetable. Just going with duel breathers on the new valve covers. Previous picture from when I first put the motor in the car before the massive teardown and paint: https://photos.smugmug.com/Other/Pho...8d4/M/33-M.jpg and now https://photos.smugmug.com/Other/Pho...IMG_6960-M.jpg Focusing on the front of the car, I like these headlights, but the only thing, they are apparently slightly smaller than the original 7" headlights. https://photos.smugmug.com/Other/Pho...IMG_6906-M.jpg Notice the stainless ring is slipping off slightly at the bottom. Small adjustment, but no big deal. I'll figure something out. https://photos.smugmug.com/Other/Pho...IMG_6919-M.jpg Moving on to the interior, I began to lay the molded carpet. Went with cut pile instead of loop to give it that more modern feel. Great pre-molded kit. Just had to line up and cut bolt holes out and trim slightly in places. https://photos.smugmug.com/Other/Pho...IMG_6930-M.jpg Installed the sill plate for fitting. https://photos.smugmug.com/Other/Pho...IMG_6946-M.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Other/Pho...IMG_6952-M.jpg ...and the door vent https://photos.smugmug.com/Other/Pho...IMG_6939-M.jpg Installing the glass is one thing, but adjusting it is a whole other chore. https://photos.smugmug.com/Other/Pho...IMG_6932-M.jpg So many factors and since these are new doors, I can't go by the old markings still on the hardware from before. https://photos.smugmug.com/Other/Pho...IMG_6933-M.jpg Think I finally got it... Lining up nicely and in the channel of the weatherstrip. https://photos.smugmug.com/Other/Pho...IMG_6934-M.jpg More to come... Thanks again for lookin' |
Sweet
That thing has come full circle! Love the wheels and the gauge cluster:D

Still cranking along. Spring is here and got all the yard and garden stuff done the past couple of weekends so now I can turn my attention back to the Beast. Got a couple of big items this week.
:ups: I went with Stainless Works on my Headers. Looks to be really good quality... except for the greasy finger prints left on this one from the factory! :knokwood: No worries, it wiped right off. Heard a lot of good feedback on these, and so far, I am not disappointed. https://photos.smugmug.com/Other/Pho...IMG_3945-M.jpg The stainless fuel tank from Rick's Hotrod Shop is off the hook! It's a shame something this pretty will mostly be hidden under the car. https://photos.smugmug.com/Other/Pho...IMG_3785-M.jpg Supposed to rain like the next 7 days straight. Need a good sunny day to drop the motor in. No worries, I can work on interior stuff. Got my new window track in, so I can finally get the passenger glass in. The old track had been "engineered" which explains why the nylon rollers on the regulator were in such bad shape. :badidea: (the original door took a hit 2 paint jobs ago with the original owner and I guess they tried to salvage the track) https://photos.smugmug.com/Other/Pho...IMG_3948-M.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Other/Pho...MG_3949-XL.jpg Got some brand new rollers on the regulators now, but this track would have destroyed all the work...lol That's it for now. I'll see what I can get done this weekend. |
Fantastic build. Love the color.
I'm somewhat biased since I have a blue 69 Camaro also. |
