Shifter tunnel & Bumper
Welded in the shift tunnel. Still need to grind down the welds, add some seam sealer and paint….
Also installed the rear bumper. Getting closer by the day…
Planning on blacking out the grille…
Testing out the plan on a spare headlight trim piece… tried black/red and silver/black. I really like the black/red and how it will look against the car color as well as the black accents I plan on.
Walk around
Getting closer. Need to do some bodywork/paint… put some seats in (interior will be done later)…
“You wanna lay a little tire?”
Shackles – Before & After
Top picture is with the aftermarket shackles and bottom after they have been replaced.
More progress
Replaced the aftermarket leaf spring shackles with factory style from SummitRacing, adjusted the z-bar and clutch, removed the carb spacer. Still have issues with idle, but I was able to pull it out of the garage under its own power and… well, the sure-grip works
Exhaust, sure-grip and thermostat…
Replaced the thermostat housing gasket, installed the 3.23 sure-grip rear and bolted up the full exhaust system.
