Re: Biscayne Resto Project
Just a little Update......I'm having Seat Covers made locally ....we sent out for Samples to match what we had and when the Samples came in they were Exactly what we were looking for.....So, the material was ordered (All Vinyl) and I was feeling prety Good.........Some little loose ends to tie up but nothing major.......Sent the wrong color Seat Covers along with a picture of the Mis-Matched colors back to the supplier and was given an Immediate Credit
 .......That was pretty Cool as I thought I was going to have to eat the cost of those covers.  .......Anyhow, I get a call from the vendor saying that there wasn't enough of one of the Colored Vinyl Samples to finish the job and they were sending out some other samples and to choose from one of them....well another week go's by before they show up........Close but "NO Cigar"......so I having Vinyl Dye mixed so I can end up with what I want...the dye and material should be in the End of this week so the covers can be made next week and I can hopefully be in front of Cumby's house in two weeks....

 Can't wait for the video.  Yes, most repro parts suck and I too get the "you're the first" on a complaint.  sure I am...One question on the radiator.. Nobody makes a repro "Big Tank" 4-core?

Re: Biscayne Resto Project
Well..... They make them, but the real question is do they fit... And do they look original?
It is still pretty easy to find an old radiator and just have them re-cored. Rob

Re: Biscayne Resto Project
Running out of things to do until the Seat Covers show up....But......Put the Rear Sway Bar on today......Pretty neat......all the dimensions for the Holes are in the assembly manual........Just some advice......If you are going to do any work on your Car....buy a Assembly Manual....It's the "Bible"...Waiting for one more box of "Stuff" to show up tomorrow.....Finishing Details.........Gonna start it tomorrow .......

Re: Biscayne Resto Project
Well....."All the Parts that showed up today "Fit"....Put on the Fan Shroud, Overflow Hose and all the little clips and fasteners, also put on the Power Brake Hose support Bracket.....Stupid little things ......Took the Battery out of the Blue Convert (Just ordererd a new one last week from Antique Auto Battery) and went to start it........Just one little Glitch.......I put in a Pertronix Ignition Module inside the Stock distributor and had to by-pass the Resistor wire.......I hooked up the By-Pass wire to a Keyed Ignition terminal on the fuse panel....but when I spun the car over to start, it didn't have any Spark...Anyhow....the terminal I hooked it up to lost voltage in the start position......changed it around and it started right up....
Here are some pic's and Video's.......Just need the Seats , should get them at the end of next week...    Ken
