UMI's 1972 Pontiac LeMans- Pro-Touring Project- Lots of Pics!

[Hoodshaker]

I'm guessing you used the 1434004 McLeod Hydraulic Direct Fit kit which lists out for 1963-1972 Chevelle. I'm looking at this kit for my '71 LeMans GT-37. Was it a direct bolt in or did it require some massaging for the Pontiac?

The clutch kit and hydraulic conversion kit with peddle came in as well. We will be using the McLeod RST twin disc clutch with aluminum flywheel.

It took a ton of work to get the pedal right. We had to modify the main mount on the firewall and also the pedal and pedal hanger. It most likely was designed directly for Chevelle?...

Great job on the build.

Maybe I missed it in the thread...what color is it?

[waynieZ]

Nice job the paint looks great.

The color is a what I think they call silver gray metallic, it is used on 99-00 Chevy trucks... we are really happy with it.

I have a lot of updates on the car, we just need to get them posted. Stay tuned.

Okay, time to get this thread updated, a lot has happened! I will try to post these in order.

First, wheels and tires are in. We are running the Weld RTS wheels, 18"x9.5" with a 5.7" BS all the way around. I really wish we had built in more BS though. We planned on running the Bridgestone RE71-R tires because we have been having great luck with them, however they were out of stock so we went with Hankook RS3's in 275's.

Wheels on the right are for the LeMans. Left wheels are for one of our 4th gen Camaros.

For air intake we selected the build your own kit from Airaid. This kit works excellent for these types of projects and allows you to place the air cleaner virtually anywhere you would like. As soon as we get some spare time we will turn the air cleaner down closer to the cold fresh air coming in.
