It was (i had maaco paint it) Brite corvette yellow...cant remember the paint name...

Thanks! Yeah I had some cars I wish I didn't sell. What was I thinking?

Not much new to report. I did get some stuff back from the powdercoating guy including the fan shroud and cap cover for the PRC radiator...



Other than that, I'm working on remodeling the kitchen for my wife. I guess she thought now would be a good time.

I was able to get away from the house project for a bit this weekend and I actually made some progress.

I finally got the Baer ReMaster installed, bent some new brakes lines, and bled the system (in case you're curious, that's a Ring Brothers clutch master on the firewall)



No pictures, but I finished installing the Vintage Air Gen IV system.

And the big accomplishment, I got the engine in!







This afternoon I installed the flywheel and clutch. The plan this week is to get the trans in place and either get the engine harness in or start on the exhaust system...

All we can say is-wow GREAT work. You could eat off that engine bay.

What clutch/flywheel set up did you go with?

Thanks! The engine compartment was painted in 2000 and has suffered some chips and scratches over the years, but overall it still looks decent.

The clutch is one of your Dual Friction units. The flywheel is a McLeod that is .400 thicker to accommodate the standard Chevy bell housing. I also installed their extended length pilot bushing.

Last week I set the intake on the engine to check hood clearances but haven't gotten around to it yet.

We're glad to see our products be part of such a clean build. The DF is a perfect clutch for this type of application!

Nice progress Herb, keep at it!
