Re: Next Years Power Tour Car
 

Started the morning with the goal of getting the fenders put on today, but........had to get the emblems put on first.....Get the fenders on, then get the mounting holes for the front fender trim drilled and get the trim mounted.....Had a "Senior Moment" during the day but an anonymous West Coast administrator of this site got me back on track.....LOL.....Heres todays progress...

Re: Next Years Power Tour Car
 

Dan.....Yep....So close.......I opened up the package with the trim clips and they sent the wrong ones.....just got back from all the parts stores in town and no luck.......Darn!!!......So.....Plan &quot;B&quot;.....just finished cleaning the 37.....

Re: Next Years Power Tour Car
 

They sent the wrong ones.....imagine that?

That`s ok....I never get sick of seeing the 37.

Re: Next Years Power Tour Car
 

Got back from the Frame-up car show and after talking with Dan Vasic and Mark Webster, I came home before the rains came (LOL) and found the clips I needed for the front fender Trim...So....I spent the afternoon in the garage ....got the trim installed, got the inner fender panels in, got the wheel opening moulding installed and took it out for a ride......No Squeeks or Rattles......Just need to get the grill and balance of front end parts........After going for a ride I realized that the Fan Controller is not working correctly......Gonna have to call Spal and get that figured out.....Here are some pic's from today...

Any plans to put engine size call out badges on the fenders?
I thinking something like the original Turbo Jet cross flags but with modern designation.

Re: Next Years Power Tour Car
 

Ken,First off I want to say that the car looks awesome.I was wondering where PowerTour is leaving from the proving grounds,the training center,or the park where it ended last year? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]I was going to run the first leg from ??? to Muskegon. They keep referring to Milford as the starting point.Just wondering? Thank you.

Kendall

Re: Next Years Power Tour Car
 

It starts at the Milford Proving Grounds Sat June 2. They do have registration on Friday at Warren City Hall. Sunday we drive to muskegon.

Re: Next Years Power Tour Car
 

Thank you Charlie.Register at Warren City Hall,leave from the Proving Grounds.What are you driving this year?

Kendall

Re: Next Years Power Tour Car
 

It's been a couple of days since the last progress report.....I got the Grille and all the other parts lined up and installed........I was assembling the bumper and lower grille assy getting ready to install it tonight.......then I found one of the lower bumper trim pieces that ended up having a stripped hole in it.....so....I take it to the shop tomorrow and put a Heli-coil in it so I can finish the install........A couple of loose ends that need to be resolved........I didn't feel the brakes were working correctly....so ...I checked and came to the conclusion that the rear disc's weren't operational.......So....After Bitching about the crappy products, I went back and read the Instructions about proper adjustment during install......OOPS!!!........
And......I'm taking the car next week to have the Doors and Fenders aligned by people more talented and experienced than me..........I got everything close.....but, It needs to be a little better and as I've learned......Convert's are a &quot;Bitch&quot; to get the alignment correct.........I threw in the towel and waved the White flag......LOL

Re: Next Years Power Tour Car
 

Here are some progress pic's from today......Got the Bumper assy and hood installed......Drove the car about 10 miles and I realized I forgot to change out the Fan controller.......Tonight's project!.......I also tried to get the rear brakes working a little better....the rear calipers supplied in the kit are mid 80's Seville calipers with built in parking brakes........Gonna throw in the towel here also and take the car over to Dave and Pete and have them get everything working........beyond my skill level.......Any how ....Here are some Pic's....
