Are they cast iron or aluminum? My thoughts if there cast iron paint them if there aluminum leave them natural.
|
I would not paint them. They look like the old L88 heads. If they were the modern heads with the machined ends then I would probably paint them. I don't like the look of the modern heads, but I do like the old aluminum heads.

VCs look nice ( I am a bit partial to M/Ts myself ;>)) ). Those t-handles are newer ones. If you go t-handle route, there are lots available on line (ebay) in original packaging quite cheap from Mr. Gasket, M/T, Cal Custom, and other brands of the day. Notice vintage wire looms - they are also available on ebay.

Made a lot of progress to get ready for the Detroit Autorama coming up on March 1st-3rd. Motor and engine bay is done. Keeping the HEI and Plug wires right now due to time and money. I really like the look and have a black and red theme going with everything

Bought a set of 15x6 chrome slot mags. Need to be polished but will set the look off perfectly!

I would have to put the intake heater hose where it belongs,its distracting where it is.

JP, I believe what cwc is referring to is that your heater hose return line should be entering the intake manifold where your water temp sensor is. Water temp sensor should be using an opening mid way down your driver's side head.
|
'67 didn't have the temp sender in the head. That didn't start until '68. Temp sender and heater hose need to swap positions.
|
Thanks Freddie!
|
Can't wait to see it at Autorama! Wish I'd known you were looking for chrome slots! I have a set in the garage.

Thank you! I am really excited for it too! Make sure you pop by and say hi. I test fitted the mag this weekend after polishing them and they fit and look great! Getting them mounted up this week. |
JRC99 I will be looking for a set of chrome slot mags for the rear 15x8 if you have any that match or know of anyone.
|
Sadly mine are 15x8. Don't have any buddies with wheels at all.
|
Those chrome slots are killer! I’ll keep a look out for you at Autorama.

Cars looking good.

Nice looking 67, I had one in the past not an SS tho. One of the best years for sure. How bout some weatherstrip adhesive for those wing nuts? Pretty secure but relatively easy to undo. Again nice car love the steel slots.
|
Nice to meet you today. Let’s get together when the weather breaks!

We had a blast this past weekend at the Detroit Autorama! Our car club had 5 cars in our group and 3 out of the 5 placed in their classes. It was a lot of work but the payoff was second to none!
|
congrats.
|
----Saw your car but there was no one around right then. It's apparent the amount of work you have put in since I met you at Stahls with Ryan on the cruise night. Good job!......Bill S

Needed to put in new lights cause ours were old and 2 were burnt out so I upgraded and since I seen a lot of Day 2 cars with high and low beam lamps have colored high beams either yellow or blue or ect and I thought why not go red (most likely not legal but we can remove the paint) So we went with Krylon cranberry red stained glass paint. Took 15 coats to get the right shade of red and walla!
|
Did not turn on the high beams in the pic wont use them on the street but will take a pic with them in sitting in the dark. Wonder how red or pink they will look lit up.
