Default Re: Updated pics of my project

Now have 50 miles on the car!!!!

Guess I should put headlight in it. All the rest of the lights are in. Tail lights are old and crappy, but I will have to pull them out to paint the trunk anyway.

Other than a few glitches like stuck posi clutches(see here: https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbt...hes#Post525372) and a stuck horn relay (runs the batt down pretty fast), I am very pleased overall.

Took my camera to the shop yesterday in anticipation of taking some good detail shots, but ended up sidetracked (buddy brought his just finished 68 Z by and we went for a ride, etc.) and spent all the rest of the day getting the exhaust on. Had to hurry home before dark (see above).

Will get some shots this week. Sits great. Stock rear springs, with a about a 3/4 inch drop in the front. Maybe a little less. Have the adjustable Koni's set about 80 to 90% firm so it is nice and stiff.

I had also planned on tuning it yesterday, but ran out of time. I had just eyeballed the points, set the timing by ear, and haven't even set float leves yet!!!! I don't even have a dwell meter or timing light at the house. Still it runs very well. Punched it while rolling in 2nd gear and the rear tires went up in smoke. Will get things dialed in this week.

Then all I need is stripes, a day or two wet sanding and a good buffer. Oh, and playing with wheel combinations, restoring the YH ralleys, ..... on and on and on I guess.
