Re: 69 300 deluxe ZL-1 project
This car is really going to look good with the Dog Dish caps and the Wide Ovals. I wonder how redlines would look with the green?

Re: 69 300 deluxe ZL-1 project
My theory on redlines is they look good on any color [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: 69 300 deluxe ZL-1 project
Bias ply tires hook really good on the strip...check out this 1968 Firebird with Bias-ply tires...the drivers front tire actually comes off the ground, it was a low 10 second pass...check it out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qa27OVizag

Re: 69 300 deluxe ZL-1 project
Well done!!!
Those exhaust manifolds, smog, and the white stripes on the seats are the high points for me!!!! Ryan |
Re: 69 300 deluxe ZL-1 project
Nothing like raw gm performance. Looks good,did you modify the rocker lock nuts,set screws and studs to clear valve covers.

Re: 69 300 deluxe ZL-1 project
no..using the new "cheater" valve covers...1/2 inch taller! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

Ya Al, me too! I know it's more $$$, but the cost of doing these "special motors, it's well worth it. I would recommend using Evan Coolants. http://www.evanscoolant.com/ Now I'm not sure about leaking into cylinder or bearing area off the op of my head, but it is allowed at the track where propylene glycol-based coolants are allowed but there is a “No Ethylene Glycol" is the rule. So you can have full advantage of coolant over just water, yet still be within the rules in case of a spill/leak. Coming together nicely. You did a lot nicer job then I'm going to do with my '69 Nova ZL-1 build I'm finally getting to. |
