Re: Next Years Power Tour Car
The car is going for Media blasting tomorrow.....So....I wanted to break the car down a little more......Found the trunk full of Nu Yawk mouse crap....
 tail light assy's are pitted with lousy chrome....I'll try and find some NOS ones......if not I'll just get these rechromed$$$$$$  The paint is probably 1/16" thick in spots....  Anyone need any Nu Yawk Day 2 Speakers....LOL  Except for the speaker holes and the dents on the outside of the doors......the doors are rust free.....a welcome surprise..   Took the rear seat out and the there was just light surface rust on the seat pan.....   Ready for the trailer.....  Look what I found.........Hadn't been started for two years.....110 octane and a Diehard and she started right up....amazing...  we will see what's under all that paint in a couple of days....

Ken
Now that the car is in the hands of the media blaster,get some golf rounds in before the assembly starts. Your "builds" are the best treads on here. Sipping a coffee and enjoying the progress! Paul

Re: Next Years Power Tour Car
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: kwhizz</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> I needed to raise the Engine about 5/8" to get the Pan off the Crossmember.....Rather than mess around with Frame mounts and Motor mounts, I decided to make new motor mount adaptor plates......because the mounts are on an angle and I wanted to raise the engine, I had to figure out how much to move the rubber mount holes and how much thicker to make the plate to get everything to fall into place.....here are some pic's
Store bought plate in black......you can see how the 3 rubber mount holes are moved down and the plate is also thicker  New plate mounted to the engine......  These here.....................are the BOMB! Thanks for the help Ken! </div></div>

They seal it off with tarps.......and seal the edges....Plus the plastic media isn't aggressive......
