I got all the stainless trim back from Polishing.....After thinking about the convertible Power top pump issues (and talking to Gary)......the pump issues are probably related to an air lock in the Pump/System......and with the lines being old and hard I decided to order a complete kit that has everything new.......that should be here on Wednesday......the Rims &quot;Should&quot; also be here on Wednesday......It got to be a real mess in the garage so I took the day yesterday cleaning......Now I can move around a &quot;Little&quot;......

Anyhow......an hour later I had the new system in and working perfectly.........Pretty cool and Kudo's to Convertible Service for a great kit...

I hate it when I see people throw stuff away. LOL You would be amazed at how many useable parts I can come up with out of other peoples junk. Never know when you will need it. Maybe that is why my parts room has now moved into our showroom!

I bought a set of 2010 Camaro exhaust manifolds to try out on the car.....test fit them today and it seems thgey were made for the car......Now.....I have a cpp 500 series steering box which is slightly smaller than a stock box.......so......if you are doing a swap like this...adjust accordingly.......picks from both sides.....

Passenger side first....

So.....After looking at those surface rusted manifolds....I decided to give them the Mike Angelo/Grady Burch treatment..... Took them down to the shop and after removing the heat shields.....I glass beaded the castings....

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...t/DSC06201.jpg

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...t/DSC06203.jpg

Then you hit them with Krud Kutter which has Phosphoric Acid in it and blow dry with compressed air...

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...t/DSC06206.jpg

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...t/DSC06205.jpg

Then spray them with Slip Plate......

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...t/DSC06208.jpg

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...t/DSC06210.jpg

Let them dry and they are just like Nu.............Yawk!!
