Well I'm nearly there. All the interior was pulled out after Steves great work so I could connect all the electrics and sound system. All back together and looking just how Steve did it.
Brakes finished and test run in factory car park. Nose cone back on. A/C main circuits and fan, vaccuum heater controls all operational. Just got to connect/mount the headlights, front blinkers/parkers, horns, secondary A/C circuit, modify power steering filler line, wheel line her and get her engineered.......then look out you lot.
Provided I have no hick ups, fingers crossed, I might make the Darling Harbour show. ;46
hope to see you & the car there cam :drink
I'll cross me fingers, toes and what ever else I ca for ya cam matie;42
Just took her for a run around the block to check all was Ok out on the road. So far so good. Not long now.
[align=justify]New motor rocker covers on and cruise control servo back in. Have to tape up some wires, mount the front lower apron, gas the A/C and get her wheel aligned. I then have to fit my new hi-tension spark plug leads and billet high tension lead holders as well as my side rocker covers below the doors and then call the engineer.
Alas, I'm on site with work all next week so I can't do much more till after hours and next weekend.
Cutting it very close. Maybe too close.
Keep ya's posted.

Hey Cam
Its got plates on it why do you need an engineer.
;36
I never let it run out of rego. I want the engineer to certify it with the brake and steering mods I've done, (1) for my own peace of mind and (2) for insurance reasons.

Yes I suppose so. But without the engineer certificate and if I had an accident I'm sure the insurance company would think twice about paying up.
This happened to me back in the late 70's with a project I did. It's not going to happen again.

Sure, I am getting them sandblasted, assuming they will be ready next week, will U2U the details as my mate delivered them somewhere in Prestons
As for the code simply GM SILVER...we dont have to really to worry about it because in 1971 and onwards they changed the silver with a green tone to a pure silver...So basicaly it is a standard silver Cam (source NCRS America)
Thanks Joe. So will yours be resparyed by next week or just sand blasted?
QuoteOriginally posted by Cameron 77C3

Cam,
Thats a beautiful looking engine bay. All that hard work (and money ) is paying itself off.
Like what you did with the chev badge ehhh. ;27
I bet your fingers are so twitchy at the moment to turn that key and take her for a spin. :grr
This is my engine bay.

Nice and ridgy didge. Looks pretty clean to me:v
So guys from what you have seen in my pics, personal or modified in the show N shines?
Can you just bring along to Darling Harbor a cardboard cut out of the car , we'll keep a narrow spot for you . If it is windy bring some bricks to keep it from ending up at Luna Park.

Am I ticked off. I finished her today, bar some odds and ends. Took her for a decent run. All good in this hot weather. Get her back, put her up on the hoist.....and what do I see............
One of my brand new Vette Brakes calipers, Stainless Steel bore/piston. "O" ring design bloody leaks.:flower
So out it has to come and find out why.
Nothing P's me off more than having to repair brand new equipment....not reco...brand new.
It's hard to soar like an eagle when your sournded by Gallahs. *#@!+:b4
;51Sorry to hear that cam
I have "O" ring kits arriving Monday or Tuesday if that helps you:v

By the way Cam if Priscilla is queen of the Vettes.............Who is the king?
congrats cam,one huge step closer.........;42
Now you have "Priscilla" running, Congrats, what is the first run you are going to take it on?
When will the Corvette world really get to see it?;46
Or, is it the "Claytons Priscilla"? The queen of the Vets, when there is no queen.......;53
Or will it be one of those cars that only comes out for shows as long as it is not raining.......
Thankyou lads. Priscilla will be out every chance she gets.
Her first public viewing will be Darling Harbour. That will give me a chance to get her polished up and put her badges on. You know what woman are like....can't go out without all their makeup on. LOL!!
