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!

Re: 68 S/C update.....

Very nice, but why?!?

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

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, .

Re: 68 S/C update.....

Is the blower and the cam swap going to drive a converter change?

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.
