Yep, mods done after 1500 miles,Cam,springs,retainers,headers,and complete exhaust. there is a T.S.B. on the oil pump and oil relief valve,for low or no oil pressure . the fix is a new valve and pump. and if there is no updated part for this fix i will be modding even more with a moroso oil pump.

For my wife's BDay (Fri, 3/12) got her the Hurst Short Throw Shifter (Thank you SOOCH!) & had it installed!

Last week I removed the tail light bezels... TODAY.... I blacked out the bow tie emblems, put mirrored bulbs on the turn signals... about to wash it for the first time!

Thanks

I only had to remove the front wheels. I actually installed the guards with the wheels on but removed them to drill the 5/16" hole for the "supplied push pin". The most difficult part was getting the guard "molded clamp" to snap over the metal fender edge (instructions step 5). I used the handle of an old tooth brush to push the pin in a little to get it to snap. I started with a flat blade screw driver but it started scratching the freshly painted splash guard.

All of the existing hardware worked. I used a T20 torx bit in my 1/4" socket to remove the screws. This allowed me to NOT remove the rear wheels.

Overall, the guards went on fairly easy and fit well. It took about an hour including waxing the inside of the front wheels while they were off.

Aside: My small el-cheapo floor jack barely fit under the car. My 3-ton jack will not. If the car ever has a flat I think I am hosed...I guess I better find a very low profile scissor jack. I have not looked but since I did not get a spare tire, I may not have a jack.

Do you have any pictures of the car with the splash guards? I've seen a few and I'm on the fence about getting them. I prefer the look of the car without them, but I hate the mud on the fenders and I don't want gravel dings.

Changed out the rear SS emblems.

Here is a view at the left front.

Put insurance on it and took it out for the first time since Halloween. YES!!!!!!!!

hypurone · 03-14-2010, 07:38 PM

Today as in 3-14-10? I installed the Hotchkis Chassis Brace!

Not much seat time with it at all yet but the very short drive I did take was eye opening.

It is weird actually. The rear of the car almost feels like a solid axle one minute. Then you hit a bump on one side only and it steps over it in much more controlled fashion than before but just like an IRS system should.

I can tell the difference which I expected to but I thought I would have to be wringing the piss out of it first...

Put on a 70's Chevell 'SS' Emblem
Put on Auto Trim Design's Gill 'Fades'
Played with the 'Config' Settings

...Damn, what a fun toy for a big boy!
