Ram Air Hood Chrome

Took a few hours to shine this up:

Now it has to be removed to I can paint the nostrils black.

New steering wheel and Stewart Warner tach

Took out the original Pontiac Rally clock and installed a stewart warner gauge. Also installed a new 15" steering wheel

Console installation

Installed the console. Top plate still needs to be created. Here are pics:

Car show season is here!

Finally warm weather allows me to work on the car again.

1. Last weekend, installed OEM Pontiac rear "heavy duty" wagon springs. This weekend, took out my Moog front springs and removed half a coil. The effect:

Rear raised 2", front dropped 2". The rake looks pretty mean without being overly aggressive.

2. Some tuning needed to be done on the carb - there is a nasty bog, and the car needed to warm up to 180 before it could even be put in drive.

• Replaced accelerator pump with 10cc upgrade
• Backed timing off
• Tuned idle

Things should be straightened out now. Will start the car tomorrow to see how it goes.

3. Trunk woes

Trunk had several rusted holes along with being pretty rusty. Sanded down the rust, welded in some replacement panels, and put down a layer of primer. Next step is to speckle-paint the whole trunk.
