Well besides a set of Flowtech Ceramic Coated Headers

which I've now had fitted (ORSUM )





Just a whole heap of interior trim gear and stuff that'll have to fit soon enough... just waiting on lower drivers side (Left) dash pad as they sent me out two right hand sides by mistake and that will then finalise my interior wish list :bannana::bannana:

Somebody has been a busy camper.  They look sh#t hot, if you'll pardon the pun.  Any shots of the extractors taken from above the motor?

Just for you buddy....

Very Nice

Have you contemplated about using some lead brackets to hold the spark plug leads out of the road

Mine's a right hook so you should have even less trouble fitting them to a left hook.

Ok a couple of items waiting to go on.

Flowtech's like Jethro



Coil overs, rear shocks and spreader from SpeedDirect



Borgeson steering



All new front suspension parts,  heaps of under bonnet parts, Drive line bits an pieces.

After a chat with Jethro am also thinking new seat foams and blue leather seat covers could be on the list.

Problem is its too easy to think of things to get.

My Bridgehampton Blue 71.

[Camo]

 Nice.

Any engine bay pics?

Did you buy that beasty by any chance from Matt down Wollongong way?

[craigh]

Hi

No I got it from Dave at GMDownUnder at the end of 2009.



Engine bay is on the agenda but only had essential stuff done.

Posted it here when I got it.

I may have picked up a little TKO kit to swap my auto to a 5-speed. :D
It's hopefully on the ocean at the moment, since I know it was delivered to the shipping mob 2 weeks ago.

[Camo]

That's a serious bit of work you've done there craigh.  Nice job.



Scott, any picks/flyers of the TKO kit.  That's going to be a pretty decent change over from auto to a five speed.

Isn't the engine block on a manual different to an auto?  From memory something to do with where the clutch shaft pivots on a mount on the engine block?

[bfit]

Admin
that is an interesting  question
I would not have thought there would be a  difference  
easier to make all the cyl blocks the same
How ever
In my 69 BB, clutch shaft where it mounts on the  Cyl block sits the shaft at a slight angle
The  block Is Out of a 76 Chev
Engines is sitting correct in the frame
I wonder ?
And the whole thing looks  different to that set up in my 70 model which has original engine  still in vehicle

Hey Dude OUR 69 is booked in for the leather treatment Wednesday so should get it back by Saturday:grin: Cant wait:grin: As for lead Sepertaers, love te look but leaving that to stage two engine build next year, I only fitted the Flowtech Headers cause they recommended running them in before fitting to a new / rebuilt motor
