Working Out The Bugs!!!

It`s getting so close now that i can feel the wind in my hair> I can`t believe i`m this close. Put the door handles on today. I`ve had these in the factory box for 19 years, bought them as a set in 91 when i went to Carlisle PA.

very nice no tail stripe or just not yet ????

Quick change artist !!!!

I`m a little torn! I was thinking of the factory look side stripes 3/8 & 1/4 into the scoops, in matt black.( flat black hood and wing ??? maybe too much black on the back with the tail stripe??? ) Also i would then be obligated to the tail stripe on my other deck lid with no wing.
Eventually i`m going to have three different hoods ( this airgrabber, a factory C7 flat hood w/ 440 callouts in black & a 69 1/2 glass scoop flat black like the RR ) ,two different deck lids ( this one and a plain C7 ) and i already have 4 different sets of wheels, to change the apperance of the car to drive or to show it as it was factory. ( these 15x7 rallys w/ Goodyear Eagle GT+4`s, 15x7 C7 steelies w/ss dog dishes w/ original Goodyear Polyglas G6015`s, magnum 500 w/center spinners & original Goodyear Polyglas G7014`s and 14x5.5 rallys with redlines.)

What a rush!!!!

Well this is it! 28 Days to the Prom. I went Plum Crazy today!!! :grin:
It was warm and sunny and i saw ALOT of rubber necks out when i took the car to town for the first time. Does she ever pull hard when the secondaries come in ( now i know why they made "depends" ) :rolling: . Other then alittle boil over after shut down, everything went GREAT!! Didn`t abuse it ,just used it. Got my cost per mile to around $1,000.00 as i put 72 miles on it today.
I can`t believe there isn`t more bugs , when i think back to were i was and every nut, bolt and screw got worked on. The original service manual, that i bought years ago, was an incredible help.
I`m well over 1,000 pics now so i think i`ll find someway to post them somewhere so anyone can peek @ the details.
I`ll be back to post a couple finished ,in the park or??? pics on here ,real soon.

YEE HAW High Speed !!! A Few More For The Pic Lovers !!!

Just got high speed, WOW what a difference!!!
Had the car out three times now,1st for 4 miles ,again for 28 miles and last Sunday was 68. Got just over 100 miles on the car and Tim @ www.forhemisonly.com wants to give the engine a tweek!! So far it looks like it gets about 10 mpg. :grin:
Over heating was from a bad original cap. ( looked good ,but that`s it )
Leaking caliper was from not being machined flat on the flexline surface after being glass beaded. Sent it back and now it`s done right, :yes: no leaks.
Here`s a few more of the " in the process".

[moparstuart]

so is she excited

 

[6pktgo]

She`s TOO HOT to handle !!!

YES!! She`s more excited then i am and i`m borderline depends everytime i`ve had the car out ( 4 times )!!!
:rolling::rolling::rolling::rolling::rolling:

Still having a heat problem. Went to see Tim today @ www.forhemisonly.com ,just down the road and he recommended i loose the 216 fan & the clutch & go with this 6 blade flex fan with a real good cup.:edgy:

I can see i`m going to have to boost the clutch pressure up a notch or two ,as there`s just too many ponies trying to run loose for the factory clutch plate. :grin:

 

[69 Runner]

Run a good CUP?

I hope he isn't thinking a flex fan is gonna fix your problem

 

[6pktgo]

He tells me it`s not pulling enough air through the rad & shroud at lower RPM. The engine compartment is too hot?
