Going to cut whats left of the bellhousing off and install a JW Ultra Bell housing, go through the rest of the trans and make it all good again. Hope to get it back in a week or two so I can get a couple more cruises out of her before the harsh reality of winter hits!

Mike I am looking at the poly engine mounts, that big block shakes the hell out of everything at idle in gear! Once I get the trans back in the engine mounts will be a breeze to do without having to do a whole lot. take the carb off, use a lift plate and do them one at a time.

Harbonious:
LOL!!! Amazing how a cam can make so many little things rattle. You know how well a car is put back together when it has a lopey cam @ idle.... because everything rattles that is not buttoned up!!!! Had things like stupid interior clips, deck/pillar molding, etc... not pass the idle test in a few Chevelles. I like the poly mount idea too. |
Car has been sitting on cribs for 6 weeks now waiting to get my tranny back :(
Thought I might as well pull out the headliner, wasnt to bad and once I got all the moldings off it just pulled right off. http://s3.amazonaws.com/s3.racingjun...397494-746.jpg http://s3.amazonaws.com/s3.racingjun...397497-498.jpg http://s3.amazonaws.com/s3.racingjun...397508-478.jpg http://s3.amazonaws.com/s3.racingjun...397515-198.jpg http://s3.amazonaws.com/s3.racingjun...397526-959.jpg Going to paint the moldings and dye the sail panels while I have it apart. That should be the last of the interior restore. :D |
might want to roll some por 15 on that there roof....
|
The pic is deceiving, its not rust just primer and some of the original brown paint. I have some time before the headliner will show up so I might just put some sound deadner up there.

"Bitchin' Camaro"... she has been massaged in just about every area. Very nice Chris... it would be hard to get rid of this one.
|
I am starting to get pretty attached to her Scooter. Hell shes been sitting on the cribs for almost 2 months since I pulled the tranny out and I still take time to find things to fix, polish or just wipe the dust off of. I am hoping my trans gets back this week, I have a 4 day weekend so it would be nice to install the trans and take her for a cruise before the weather here turns to total crap.
