<span style="color: #FF0000"><span style="font-size: 17pt"> Old Lakewood scattershields used a 4 digit number. Current ones use a 5 digit part number (#15000 for BBC &amp; SBCs) which I have not seen stamped on the new housings. Howz the broaching look? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img] </span></span>

<span style="color: #FF0000"><span style="font-size: 17pt">Pantone 485C was mixed by the paint store and will go on this weekend after I finish the body work. I am surprised how much orange is in this color. According to Lakewood technical support (responsive via email [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]) , Pantone 485C was the color indicated on the original drawings for this bell housing. Thanks to DC for helping to decipher color codes [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img] .</span></span>

W[img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/shocked.gif[/img]W Sam!!!

Taking this whole Roof Deuce resto beyond its as delivered state to include such detail of the Roof's Day 2 mods has reached new heights and this car truly in a class of it's own!.

Thinking how this car was first one step beyond a regular assembly line car being prepared and shipped by GM as a Copo then further modified at Yenko before being sent through the network to land in the Roof's hands who then added their specific mods to it...it's all too cool!!!

Wow awesome work. I have the same distributor &amp; coil,but i need to get the wires you have. Did you find them anywhere in particular ?

Re: Roof Deuce Restoration
 

Thanks -- I have a hard time hiding my enthusiasm for this cool Nova. Wrt the Delco orange ignition wires, I posted a thread on this site and was contacted by a fellow who had a set. They are out there. Last year I saw a set on Ebay but missed them.
