Re: Roof Deuce Restoration
 
The car does look better than new!! I also can't wait to see it again. And at least I don't have to see that empty space in the garage any more. We filled that space today with a new project (one that's much more realistic for us). Took the truck and trailer down to Maryland and hauled home a 72 Nova. When I pulled my car in the garge tonight and saw the back end of the "new" nova in front of me it was almost like old times. And there's rubber on the road in front of the house again!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

Most excellent Linda! Who had the "honors" of scrubbin' the pavement? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif I 'spect the neighbors will think it is the 70's all over again with the two of you runnin' up and down the streets with your Nova!

Any photos you can share? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Sam, It was the oldest kid, Earl. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/crazy.gif By the time our boys showed up to check out the new find the car was already hiding in the garage. They'll probably get their turn tomorrow. Not sure when I'll try it out, probably after the new life insurance policies are written!! Will post a few pics as soon as I can find some time.

Engine bay is nearly finished. Just a little more dum-dum in a spot or two (thanks for the heads up Sammy https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif ). I received some great input https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif from Jack Seymour, Schonye, Bill Hodel, and Charley Lillard (great survivor Z28 website Charley https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif) on the plumbing/routing of my TCS system. I received and installed my last few components needed to finish my smog system from Bill Hodel (nice fellow to work with - great product)...

I was under the impression for awhile that this junction was a 3-way Tee https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif until the smart guys set me straight. Bill Hodel had an original 4-way connector to finish my TCS set up...

I may be wrong but I don't think Roof and Company had headers on that Deuce as long as you have. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif.... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif= https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif Keep those pictures coming Sam. A great car! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif P.S. Are you missing a fan caution sticker??? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

Sammy...that's not even funny https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif Besides he would need a cowl seal to turn up side down to go with it https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif
