    Jason, my assembly manual shows one clip with the right angle adapter and 2 clips without it.
    But, as we all know things did deviate once in a while.

    Thumbs up!

    Jim & Jim,
    I must tell you that this car looks fantastic. The hard work is evident and you both should be very proud. That is certainly one of the finest restored examples of a Buick muscle car around. I look forward to seeing it in person as I know the picture could not do the car justice. Great Job!

    Ooh! Ooh! I see a problem! I've never seen a '70 GSX, QQ, 4spd car with a hairy lump under the passenger side front suspension! :laugh: :laugh:

    Great car! These pics alone are worth studying. The actual car is a museum piece! I look forward to seeing it in person one day. Congrats to all involved!

    Have fun.

    Most Awesome!

    Nice work JW and crew!
    Congratulations Jim.
    It boggles the mind to try and comprehend the amount of time(not to mention the money), spent doing all the research, gathering parts/supplies and doing the actual labor to complete this project.


    I am really enjoying the pictures, keep em coming when time permits.

    First off,

    A lot of these pictures were taken in progress, so minor assembly details were refined as the project continued.

    Let's move on with some interior and Engine pictures

    Since I just started on my non-ac conv....do they use different vents....I don't see "on off" on the driver's side vent. Just wondering since I have no car to use as a reference......darn FL cars all have AC.

    George,

    Without checking the parts books, and just going from recollection, I do believe that all non-AC 70's don't have vents that you can shut off at the dash. I assume because they have the controls down in the kick panel for the vents.
