The engine compartment wasn't bad when I bought it but there have been quite a few hours of nit-picky low budget detailing mostly involving time and elbow grease.
The exhaust system wasn't very good so another of the early mods was to install the brand new at the time ceramic coatred headers and a FlowMaster exhaust kit with 2.5" pipe, a cross-over, and single dual inlet/outlet muffler with tail pipes in the stock location.
The car to the best of my knowledge was delivered with multi-leaf and 12 bolt posi unlike Renner's one-legger. You can also see the corner of the FlowMaster and the ultra-trick Monroe Magnum shocks. Springs are Global West -2" stiffies. I stripped and undercoated most of the car shortly after I bought it with 3M Rubberized Undercoat and also sandblasted and painted most of the brackets and rearend and replaced the OEM fuel and brake lines.
The front brakes were something to talk about.............in 1969.
Very cool story, Your car looks killer! Sounds like a great friend may he RIP
Thanks man.
He was a great friend. He was the kind of person that if I was in serious trouble and could make contact with him there was no doubt he'd be there or arrange prompt resolution. He had many traits very similar to Mr. Greg Weld. But I don't think Greg has ridden a Harley at Sturgess wearing a much larger than life latex Dickhead cap.
At his funeral it was standing room only, easily over 700 people and a long line out the front door. When I took the podium to speak it was an amazing tribute. We had funeral procession to the cemetary with over 120 Good Guys caliber hotrods, they actually closed traffic on Interstate 5 for the procession. it's been 16 years now and I still get choked up.
