Re: Next Years Power Tour Car
 

Well, It seems that the lull in the action is coming to an end.......the car (Body and Doors) will be picked up tomorrow....also I picked up the rebuilt 12 bolt rear end today...and, I just about have the fuel tank/fuel pump assy finished.......I really liked the simplicity of the 2004-06 GTO fuel pump as it does not require a pressure controlled fuel return line to the tank......But as you can see the GTO pump is a little tall to fit into the 66 tank...

So.....we need to make it fit.......I had a spare laying around that I cut up to play with.....I won't be using the stock GTO vent assy on the top of the unit......it will be capped off so I was able to cut out all the venting controls which took up a couple of inches....shortened the rods and springs and made it manageable......but I still had to put a lower sump in the tank as the stock tank is only 6 1/2" high.....

I'm gonna have to install the tank about an inch below the trunk floor to clear the electrical plug assy, but....that's O.K. as there is a lot of room down there on my "Poifeckt" Survivor car.........LOL

Also....the newly rebuilt 12 bolt that will be detailed and installed shortly....

Re: Next Years Power Tour Car
 

Got the car in the garage today to get started on the fun stuff.....

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...t/DSC05517.jpg

I got the top up and cleaned it (decided to keep it after all).....after sitting in the down position for 4 months it has a lot of wrinkles to be worked out......But after cleaning it looks pretty good.....

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...t/DSC05518.jpg

Re: Next Years Power Tour Car
 

----Thanks Ken,,,Yup, those are the same calipers that CPP sold me for a stalled 65 Chevelle wagon pro-touring style car that Im now trying to re-group on and finish. Bought the kit about 4 years ago. Had the car 80% done and had a shop fire that some of you may know about. Ruined the paint and every piece of chrome on the car. I was just cleaning them up and re-painting them yesterday. Thought they were the same ones......Bill S

----The mounting plates are nicer, though. You probably got the deluxe kit!!!

Re: Next Years Power Tour Car
 

So.....I was going to take the day off and watch Football.......Then I remembered that I am a Chicago Bears fan.....so, I spent the day in the garage doing some more dis-assembly......

Got a lot of detailing to do underneath before I get to that point....Cleaned up and put away the tools and masked and sealed off the outside of the car today to protect Georges work from dust and overspray....

Re: Next Years Power Tour Car
 

&quot;NU Yawk&quot; suspension bushings......LOL

Waiting for a new variable speed grinder to show up so I can get to wire brushing and cleaning up the frame and bottom side for detailing....

The jacks are fine........When you are a one man band you need to be able to adjust the car up and down to get the rear ends in/out.........the jacks worked perfectly......

Re: Next Years Power Tour Car
 

Whenever I go thru a car I send the stock radio out to be converted over to AM-FM/Sirius Satelite......Stock looking radio yet all the modern conviences......Pretty Cool!!
I was gonna do that with my &quot;Mint&quot; NU Yawk Original Paint Rust Free Survivor car........But it seems the owner forgot it when he shipped the car........Those crazy Nu Yawk guy's.....anything for a &quot;Laugh&quot;....

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...t/DSC05818.jpg

So....I bought one off eBay and sent it out for conversion...Got it back today.....I highly recommend these guy's for this type of conversion......

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...t/DSC05576.jpg

All solid state with a built in pre Amp.....

Re: Next Years Power Tour Car
 

That is cool! Is it an AM only unit or AM/FM and does it matter? I need that in my Camaro!

Re: Next Years Power Tour Car
 

Bill....It doesn't matter..........The Gold Nova had a factory AM/FM that they converted.........

Re: Next Years Power Tour Car
 

Cool Ken-What does it run to do that??

Re: Next Years Power Tour Car
 

I agree...the radios are great! I had two converted, one in the '67 Nova and one in the old '66 Chevelle drop top. I move a portable XM receiver between both cars. Excellent radios!
