It probably won't, the original finish is really hard but keep in mind it probably wasn't exactly cherry when the PO "improved" it.

Just wet a rag and let it do the work, it will come off if it's just rattle can.

Please remember to wear gloves!

Zoomin · 03-27-2013, 10:59 PM

Very nice, but why?!?

Obviously for adjustment, but what problem did you have that made this necessary? Just curious.

HotRod C/10 · 03-27-2013, 11:11 PM

I was told by Comp Cams that it should not be too crazy....I'll probably stick with the 2.5" exhaust, but will still have the 3" electric cutouts,

Good to hear, one less thing to worry about. When is the next garage thrash?

Maybe next weekend or the one after. I'll text you during the week. I got the new trailing arm crossmember loosely installed. I will re-evaluate the positioning after I get everything back together and see how it sits. I need to get the high hump installed and then I'll be ready for fitting the motor and tranny....

It must be a bummer not being able to drive it huh? It will be interesting to see the difference in the performance though.
