So I got tested as you know found my psa was up just a little but they did mri and found something. So then I had to go for biopsy on my prostate. Of the 14 samples 3 were found with cancer, the levels are very low and its very early. They have to do a little more testing on the samples then we decide what direction we go. But the Dr said it is 100 percent curable so after the treatment I will be cancer free. So yes it is important to get tested for sure! If your on the fence just do it. It's much better to catch it early. Thank you all that have kind words for me I appreciate it.

I have the moldings, just need clips. I have a few sets to pick through, thanks
Here's what the set looks like I believe parts place has them or someone on e bay, the rocker clips are auevco 8400 not factory clips but supposed to work better.
-
Be careful with rocker molding the aftermarket stuff is thinner than factory. I don't ever remember where I got mine but the 10 piece set was pretty good but eventually I'm going to put the original rocker molding back on but gotta do a little work to them.

Holy smokes that car is really apart you got some skill there. Can't wait to see this one.

I gotta agree with you Joe, other than that one time I had an issue with summit they have been great. They even made the issue I was having right. My brother just bought some guages from summit he got a better price and service from summit than he did from the manufacturer. Parts have gone up so much ( as everything has) and customer service has gone down so much you do need to shop around for sure.

Steve,
I will tell you what I will do for you on your name badge. I will put it into the holder upside down so all you have to do is glance down without lifting it up and turn it around.

Your the best Rob

Yea may be something to look at, possibly sucking oil in maybe? Is it possible valve covers are on wrong side (just a thought) or something?
-
That does look great, good luck with start up. Make sure there is a video of it.

I've heard stories about running trans fluid or kerosene in the oil to clean out inside of engine but with only 10,000 miles I doubt it to dirty in there. I'd bet valve seals or like Larry found a broken inner spring on valve spring which wiped out a couple valve seals. Maybe try a different brand of plug, I use autolite in mine they seem to work well except the one plug fouls after a few thousand miles. I'd say keep tools and plugs with you at all times and enjoy it.
-
There is a speaker that will fit that left side, it was on another thread somewhere a while back. Hopefully someone else will chime in with the spects. It's a little smaller magnet I believe.

How many miles on the motor and on the heads? Has it been rebuilt? Did you do compression test on it?
-
Maybe you can find a spring at your local hardware store. One near me has a display like this.

Oh yea the valve seals can be changed without pulling the heads but not the guides, it does require some special tools.
-
I have a problem with mine fouling number 1 plug also, I put a non fouler in it until I have time and space to do the motor. It's probably valve seals or guides I assume, I have new heads for it when I do it. Was going to just do heads and cam but not sure if the bottom end will hold up so just going to do it all at once. The non fouler has helped for sure with no ill effects, I do carry a tool kit and extra plugs with me at all times.

Not a bad looking car but you definitely need to wear seat belts or you'll slide right off the seats. I do like the color combo.
