Re: Next Years Power Tour Car
After a while of thinking about the Brake issue's and what we went thru last summer getting the rear brakes to work.....after looking at the pic's again.......it seems that while taking the calipers on and off so many times trying to get the pads tight against the rotors......the piston rotated slightly and the aligning stud on the inside of the pad was actually hitting on the face of the piston and not in the recess provided for it......so.....even though it made the pad tight and the appearance of being functional........the pad was only tight in apperance......what I didn't notice was that the pad was in on an angle.......I was so happy to get it to where I thought I fixed the problem that I didn't look or think about it any more.......if you look at the pictures you can see the end result.........I contacted CPP a couple of times and after the initial contact with one of their service techs......I was told I just didn't know what I was doing and the supplied pads were O.K. to use..........Really!!!..........

Re: Next Years Power Tour Car
For what its worth I am already starting to regret selling the Nova with the L89. That was the first solid lifter car I had ever owned that I could drive for as long as I wanted too with no issues.

Re: Next Years Power Tour Car
Strato Bench update........
Stopped by the Upholstry shop yesterday and Mike had just finished making the seat bun.......I like the way he shaped the foam to give each seat a bucket seat shape......He is fabricating a seat cover out of a set of bucket seat covers.....Gonna stop today and take some more pic's as he is moving fast now!! http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...t/IMAG0519.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...t/IMAG0520.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2.../IMAG05211.jpg |

Re: Next Years Power Tour Car
I was thinking maybe a heating option..or lumbar support..but, vibrating massage would be killer [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]
Kenny...you could turn all that stuff on en-route to the club for a round of golf...muscles would be all warmed up and relaxed. I'll bet Tiger has that stuff in his car [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img] |

Re: Next Years Power Tour Car
Stopped at the Upholstry shop today just as they were installing the just made seat cover.....Remember....the Strato Bench wasn't available in Chevrolets until 67.....so we had to have a seat cover made to match.....Mike did a great job making the bench seat cushion out of two bucket seat covers and some extra material......they had the seat backs and arm rest finished so it was just a matter of getting the cover on......It will be finished and ready to be picked up on Thursday.......Finished pic's at that time........here are some pic's from today....
