great idea on the air hose ! got my SPAL fan controller in today, gonna get this cooling/shroud project wrapped up in the next couple days i hope !!

[watahyahknow]

i was thinking about it but figured that when the power is off the airvalves dont work either

i seen some people with pickuptrucks use industrial co2 cylinders with a simple pressurevalve and no pumps watsoever there getting quite a few hops out of those
if you hook up a small cylinder like one out of a fire extinguisher/paintballgun to the tanks you should be able to lift it one time

Thank you ! here is a pic for JTP67-72, shot of the carrier bearing and the bolt inside the yoke that bolts them together after you press the bearing on. Sorry for the terrible pics i should have slid a piece of white posterboard behind it , i didnt know they came out this dark !

[jtp67-72]

That's what i was missing-the yoke unbolting--mine off of the lwb is pressed on over the slider splines--different setup...........thanx for the pic.....jim

[67cheby]

no problem ,anytime !

What color are you going with?
One shop last year quoted $10,000 to paint my Nova. The example car he showed me was a non metallic yellow Mopar. All I could say was you must be kidding. Good luck

Copy cat.......



Just kidding, Just kidding.

I think the color you're going with is a little lighter and has a bit of grey tint to it. At least that's what I remember from your previous post of colors.

[67cheby]

Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery . Right !! I just want to be like you !!

you are somewhat on the right track !! they will be totally different !! the interior is what will make the whole thing really POP !!

[67cheby]

I had about 6 hours in the garage yesterday !! That was NICE ! here is what i accomplished (without a sheetmetal brake) bent everything by hand ......got to get a brake ! After scrapping my original plan because of room , i somewhat loosely followed N2BILLETS lead on the shroud he made (my feeble attempt anyway) i built the upper braces into the top cover , so i could remove the upper mounts for a smoother look...anyway here are the pics

[Bowtie468]

That looks great , Mike !!!! Nice work !
