ou: I can put the tool in the mail in the next 2 days, if you think you really need it, I took a walk in the treachous snow up to my knees to the trailer to get it! I'm not sure you want to be here for the Power Tour at the Tech Center, that's at least an hour away, and I may not be here, :beers2: etc
Roberta....please send the tool to me....then Davis wants to use it....he will owe you too :Brow: What do we have here :grin: Peace WildBill
OVERDRIVE ! First we hand form the sheet metal..... Then we test fit and tweak it a little.... All bolted down...just have to make the hole for the downrod tomorrow. Peace WildBill
Actually had to make a little more "room" for the OD...out came the BMF Hammer :grin: Trying to keep it as original as i can so i re-used the boot. Saved these for awhile.....they should stop the raging beast :Brow: Hard to believe that this car is this clean after 43 years and 150,000+ miles Peace WildBill
Strange hole that i found punched thru the passenger side rear wheelwell.......from the inside uzzled: Had to have been done when this car was made......size of a quarter. Peace WildBill
McWheels brought my NEW Spyders to Indy and i met him there to pick up these........ Thanks Curt :TU: Peace WildBill WOW......these things are valueable ! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...12364&viewitem=&sspagename=ADME:B:WNA:US:1123
Looks like this is all i'm giong to do to the car for now............... No sense in proceeding until i find a pair of these that will do the rest of the car justice.......... Peace WildBill
Well.....i got to find a good paint shop to finish my car......or else do it myself and probably not get it done until the fall. As it sits now......... My wheels looks FANTASTIC ! Did i say i was looking for a good paint shop that can get my car in and done sometime this month ? Peace WildBill
I don't quite see the big deal with those little trim pieces, can't you just re-chrome some used ones?
Kimson......you have to have nice cores. You are in Cali where the chance of finding these parts are much higher. The better you start with the better you end up with... Don't want these pieces to be the only crappy die-cast on the car. Here's a pair that a V8 member sent me from Illinois....and NO the screw holes are NOT original. These parts were almost never worth saving from a mid-west car...... I am still looking for a nice pair....the ones pictured will be used as a last resort. Peace WildBill
I'll keep my eyes open for you.. You need some special tool to remove the trim parts around windows etc?
holy, i don't know how i have missed this thread, this is AWESOME. more pics of the black one with the redlines please
Kimson.....you have to remove the inner rear door panels and then the glass to get at the screws and be able to take the lower stainless window trim off. Once that is done you have to peel the rear of the driprail moulding up and away from the car....only then can you unhook the moulding and remove it from the drip rail it's lipped into...... BIG MONEY $$ waiting for a perfect pair Peace WildBill
Had to notch the front of the original style trans mount and shave the rear edge....that way i don't have to re-drill the cross-member for the newer style mount with a different bolt pattern. More progress soon..... Peace WildBill
This sunday i take the car to the painter.....been very busy......here's some photo's of the final mate-up of the Gear Vendors Overdrive and the totally re-built 69 "BT" TH-400........ Milled the GV adapter's trans mount pads down the thickness of two shims and then added them with the new NOS mount so that i will have some adjustment in the down direction to dial in the right driveline angles and alignment. After putting a straight edge across the back face of the adapter and seating the transfer hub fully on the trans output shaft.....you take the supplied round shims and use just enough to fill the gap made by the ruler and the hub edge.....put them in the end of the hub and they take up the end play between the trans and the overdrive overdrive input shaft......notice pump cam right behind shaft splines...... And then you end up with this........man, it's long :grin: The challenge is back on.....for the 30th GS Nationals ! Peace WildBill
