That looks sweet! Do you think it will work with my TVS 1900 Magnacharger?

??? the bracket kits are the same for all 5 water pumps or the 3 different offsets. there are a 1,2,or3 spacer kits depending on your set up. i would call there tech dept. they were super helpful when i called.

Still pulling parts off and cleaning stuff up!! I pulled the inner and outer heater box off today. I found some nice shiny gold paint underneath. I wish I could figure out a way to get the spray on black paint off without messing up the gold paint underneath. I tried some acetone, but that didn't work to well. If I can't figure it out, I'll just shoot some more black semi-gloss on it. I also mounted the new Dakota digital gauges. I think they are going to fit right in with the mostly stock interior.....

C10_ustacould · 03-12-2013, 10:34 PM

Looking good brother... diggin' the gauges!

Zoomin · 03-12-2013, 11:34 PM

The gauges look great! How does the speedo hook up?

Thanks Ernie. I'm taking my time and doing a lot of planning so hopefully it will go back together as nice as it was before I tore it apart...

Thanks. It connects to an output wire out of the computer.

67_ShortFleet · 03-13-2013, 08:43 AM

Did you try laquer thinner on the firewall? I've had luck removing unwanted paint myself with it.

Do you think it will hurt the original paint underneath?

It might. but you could just shoot black over it if it does.

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!

**Hart_Rod** · 03-27-2013, 10:29 PM

Out with the "old" and in with the new!!!

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

is the "old" up for grabs?

color sand it off with 1500 grit wet and a 3M pad.......it works wonders....but you gotta be patient....1500 removes material so slow!

No major reason other than I had it laying around,

. I do like the ability to be able to adjust the wheels in the wheel opening and the ability to change the pinion angle. Also, it will match all the other tubular stuff I installed a while back...

I sold it about 4 months ago and the new owner has been patiently waiting for me to pull it....

I played around with it and I'm pretty sure I'm just going to reshoot in in semi-gloss black,

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,

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