Default Re: 69 Nova backing plate

I wonder if I could have fit inside that box with the backing plate? I would have been the first mechanic in a box! I hope Mike has a &quot;fun time&quot; putting it on. I'm just glad that I could help and you can use it. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

Too much stuff collecting dust here in Pa.

Yeah, don't like paint. Maybe just shoot the Stinger hood, Oly Gold with Dover White stripe. Keep the flat patina hood for shows and cruise night.

Just can't see painting this hood. A little wet sand every now and then to knock down the heavy stuff, then hit it with some BoeShield [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img]

Ok, that wasn't too tough. First time pulling an axle, Jeds over the phone instructions made light work of swapping out the backing plate.

Jed, payback coming in the mail. watch out!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img]
