    Only letting me do one at a time now....I missed the water spots but the camera did not. A few things still need some touch up. This is what happens when you leave NOS tie rods bare metal.

    Dave, looks fantastic :TU:. Did your Muncie not have a speedo reducer ? I see you have two of the speedo cable clips installed.

    DL, It actually had nothing. Much was missing. Only an open hole in the side of the transmission. I had to use the bullet style speedo attachment with Nicks repro clips. I lucked out and found an NOS speedo cable.

    Looks awesome ! Do you remember where you got the vapor hose with the lettering on it from? I can't find it anywhere. What does it say on it ? Also, were you able to find the upper radiator hose with the GM markings on it ? If so, where ? Thanks,

    I made the vapor lines myself copied from originals. The upper radiator hose is NOS. I also had a stamp made based on the markings of the NOS hose. I can stamp new radiator hoses with the stamp. The shape of the newer hoses is not the same shape as the orginal hose however but it is what most are using. I have sold several radiator hoses here. The upper hose is a 70-71 part number. The vapor lines are correct for 70 Cal emissions and 71's but niether is correct for 72.
