Well after applying the sealer yesterday, today I put 3 coats of primer on. Tomorrow I should be able to guide coat the entire car and start with the first blocking. Hands don't fail me now.

Hey all was wondering what intake manifold I should consider going with. I see Edelbrock and Torker have some. I am using the stock heads so any input would be appreciated.

It amazes me how much you get done. You can see it coming together with the sealer.
Hard to beat the stock intake, performance wise. The Edelbrock just has a weight advantage and the one I had, we had to fabricate a little plate to get the choke spring to work. |

Well I put on the second coat yesterday and now I am about ready to start spraying the ceramic barrier. Took a few pictures of what the sound barrier looks like. I do have one question what has people done to the decklid to stiffen them up so they aren't so tinny? I was thinking of applying those 3m self adhesive sound deadning pads to the underside of it. Any thoughts would be helpful.

Well I finished with putting on the sound control and ceramic heat barrier Friday and un-taped it today. I took a few pictures of what the finished product looked like. I was very please with how well the Lizardskin application went, it sprayed nice, covered extremely well and cleanup was easy with just using water.

I am currently cleaning out the heater box on my car and want to replace the evaporator core while I have it all apart. Those that have done it where have you found a replacment evaporator core. I know that PY has them but states it is different but will work.

Check local radiator shops. They can order the correct replacement and get it in a day or so. Might save you some bucks. They are still avaiable. Might even check Napa, Advance, Autozone.

rear spring question
Hello all hopefully someone can help me. I am currently restoring my 1969 GTO and put a s60 rear axle assy in it from Strange Engineering. It was a direct fit in and I planned on using the stock springs and bought new 10" shocks for it. Also I put in new spring insulators upper and lower that were not on my old 10 bolt rear end. When I got everything bolted up I noticed the shock are about 1-1/4" to short from bolting to the frame. I did notice the stance seems to be taller in the rear and I am thinking that the spring perches on the s60 rear end might be in the wrong location with the combination of me adding the spring insulators. To fix the problem I am thinking of getting new springs that are shorter and that will help with the stance of the rear of the car. Does any one have a height measurement of the frame height I can ref mine to and if anyone knows where I can get shorter springs at I would appreciate it. Any other ideas will be helpful as well.

rear springs
Just a thought, as you add more weight (rear bumper, interior, glass etc.) maybe it will look better.
Project looks awsome JOE |

I don't know if you want to cut new springs but that's what was suggested to me for a car that I have that sits too high. You cut about 3/4 of the first coil off, then heat a spot about half a coil further in til it's red. Finally, quickly press it down on the concrete to flatten it for the perch.
