I plan on going orange myself , but probably a straight colour . Is it only the hood that's going two tone ?

**66ChevyMax** · 02-15-2016, 04:46 PM

Behind the grille will be gray and the inset on the tailgate will be gray with orange letters.

I have an idea cooking for between the chrome trim.

Power steering will have remote reservoir, still some tweaking here due to the relocated coils but it will work out:

**66ChevyMax** · 02-20-2016, 12:53 AM

Anyone see a problem reducing the power steering return from -10 to -6an?

**66ChevyMax** · 02-20-2016, 12:56 AM

Here's the difference between a standard harmonic balancer install kit and a LS install kit:

Did you run custom brake lines, or use prebent for the front/rear discs?

**66ChevyMax** · 02-23-2016, 07:57 PM

Prebent everywhere accept the two risers coming up to the booster. I think one of those is stock and can't remember where I got the other.

Yes, chains, bench seat and vent windows are things I can't change, too many memories
