1972 GS Convertible 455 lead

I think the conclusion has been that they used tire crayons, which typically come in yellow or white (& red). Not sure there was any rhyme/reason to the use of yellow or white but someone can correct me if I'm wrong about any of this.

 

Is that a Rabbit Hole I see?

That car will be painted, and all dialed in by this time next year.

 

Isn't there a member that does frame-off oil changes?

 

Hey now. We had one blown out bushing that justified a complete tear down! The list certainly gets longer… I’m still hopeful that we will get some miles on it locally before making the trip to BG.

 

I've made that trip as the maiden voyage.

11½ weeks - You've got this.

 

Started cleaning up the frame. It’s really nice overall, the worst pitting is pictured below. That pitting is a good representation of the rest of the frame underneath the car.

 

Ben, I looked again today I still can’t find the 455 emblems.

 

Looks good.

 

There is a clip, but mine was rust flavored. I actually broke it removing it. I’ve been meaning to look at Todd’s site to see if there is a replacement but do have a few originals laying around

 

Made a trip to Lowe’s (thanks for the tip Brett) and got the new heater core in and AC box back on. The original was cracked presumably from the accident so @Stage 2 iron hooked me up. Thanks again Frank! It’s going to be a good weather week so solid progress should be made.

 

No problem louie , glad I can get you one step closer to the nationals.

 

Engine is bright under the LED light, but came out nice. Sprayed it with Duplicolor 1653. Buttoned up some cowl/firewall stuff in between coats as well. I decided to paint the cowl screen for simplicity sake. Not a show car

 

Looking good in my book.

 

Looks great. That red looks good, which black did you end up using?

 

Thanks Nelson. Frame is Duplicolor 1634 satin black, firewall/cowl 1635 semi gloss black.
