According to the factory brochure for a 66 GTO the brake drums were painted red when Rally I's were ordered. So when mine is done it will have red drums.

Take a look at the 1966 Pontiac Performance brochure...

So while it technically won't be <span style="text-decoration: underline">100%</span> correct, don't let me stop you. It <span style="font-style: italic">will</span> look great with the Rally I's.

Grady and I have been spending some quality time geeting his 67 SS/RS L88 Camaro. First post's about the car are here. Pictures on pg. 2 & 4.

Since that is the dedicated Yenco forum, any new stuff will go here in honor of the King of day two.
Grady aquired a vintage glass stinger hood for the car, it needed some TLC, but for a hacked up old glass hood it fits up OK now.
The back of the hood had been cut out, and the rear hood hinge attach points were trashed from a previous hack job.
It was fun for this old guy to play in fiberglass and Lacquer paint again.. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]...Some shots of the hood.
More on the other freshin up stuff later.

Aha..PPG Lacquer.. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]

Yet to come, engine bay clean up.

Looking good...anxious to see both cars at the SCR. Rumor is you guys have been doing a little "tuning" for the drag strip.

Outstanding work sailor! You guys are having a blast. That '67 of yours is a <span style="font-size: 26pt"><span style="color: #FF0000"><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">DYNAMO</span></span></span></span> </span>Grady!

Great job on the hood Mike. The Camaro looks awesome!

The stripes on the hood are a little different than on a Vette.
We decided to keep them @ 1/8" and 1/8" to match the OE Bubble Bee stripe. The scope area is blacked out VS cut out. At one time we had talked about using the Vette chrome insert, but this looks way more bad ass.
Tom, as far as tuning, all that involved was checking the total timing and the dwell. We did put new springs in Gradys this spring.
Looking forward to some track time. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/
