Ahh, that brings back memories. Actually, it looks like you are further along than I am. You are going to paint the arms to clean them up a little. ;laugh

I meant the rear control arms (in the last pics with the new rotors) It's hard to tell if they were painted or not. I'll have to find some batteries for my digital camera and post up some pics of my (lack of) progress.

Oh that is a fun job. My advise, put all new goodies back in there. You don't want to go visit that again. ;42

Is that a hotdog on a one inch exhaust system I spy under your carr. May be worthwhile looking at sidepipes or something that breathes a bit easier. No insult intended!!!

At least now I've been able to get a good look at the lower section of the birdcage and it's all really good news. Phew... Sign of relief!
Originally posted by demonxits not just ebay seelers that do that demon.....some of the well known and BIG corvette aftermarket suppliers also try this trick..... buddy with a 69 tri power big block and a 77 has all kind of trouble with some of the larger well known companies trying the " australia is so far away and there is an extra packing charge,and also a fee to drive the part to the post office so thats triple the price thanks" tactic.....
MADLT1 - thanks for that - I've sent them an email asking for airmil postage cost. Pays to do that with some ebay sellers bumping up costs!
I bought a grill the other day from an ebay seller who quoted US$130 post. I replied back questioning why she is charging me $130 when I bought the other side grill from a vendor and paid only $40 postage. I also then added that I wanted to buy some other chrome etc from her and would pass if she didn't charge me actual post without up charging. She very quickly replied back with a "new" postage cost of $55 for all the items! Bloody scammer's. Need to be on your toes!
Anyway - I've been looking at these:

I'm not 100% sure how the fit is with the Lakewood's though and I don't know if they're a direct swap. I sent Lakewood an email yesterday but don't expect a reply straight away being weekend.

The vacuum journey continues with a hose replacement procedure. I started this today - its not as easy as it first appears!

Those windscreens are made in "china" and are not a good fit
If you have a rusty windscreen frame it is recommended that you remove the upper guards from the windscreen frame as it is usually delaminated and rusty.

Might be worth checking this restoration out. The guy had the same windsheild surround issues, only worst.. sort of.

Im sure those corner mold screws come out without taking the window out, I took mine off before taking the window out! I think my screw was hiding under the rust and under the next molding, I think once I took off the middle mouldings I could access the screw????
Originally posted by 69 DIRTY RAT
Yeah! I must have done the same but I cant remember doing that? I must have blocked out the pain?
