monte70car Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 So far today I have checked my trans psi for the 700r4 trans off just a little but now it right where it needs to be, so it should have solid shifts once again. Order a new booster and master cylinder for the 4 wheel disc setup think the 83 Trans Am setup is going bad(vacuum leak some where in the brake system).

ddiddle Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Took the fam to Bruster's Ice Cream in it last night and a ride into Lexington and back home - beautiful night for a cone and a ride. If the rain holds off here, I have to go out and de-bug the front end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leghome Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I had to debug my front end this morning. I drove home from Richmond IN last nite in a deluge and back this morning for the NMCOA meet. Met some nice folks and spent most of the day with Michael and Ann Boyte under their awning on the camper/trailer. Had a great time and going back in the morning to see if I gotsted and awards.

Sam (Bones) Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I started installing the wide belt moldings, right sides are on. hopefully will get to the keyless entry system too...that is if I can get the fatmat off the doors thought it was a good idea when I installed it, if anyone has tried to remove fatmat, it ain't easy!!!!

Leghome Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 The logo's came from hubcap Joe on e-bay $27.50 (http://www.hubcapjoe.com/)will give you a link to his e-bay sales and the center caps on e-bay. The centers had to be assembled which was no big deal and then I used Weather strip adhesive to make sure they did not fall off. The glue that is on them did not seem to have enough stickiness to them and I do not want them flying off going down the road. The logo's are also available in black for $29.95. I put 200 ads per page and the black ones were on page 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stangeba Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Changed the oil sprayed silicone on the darn squeaky poly bushings (have I said how much I regret using them) took a ride to get gas and saw a new Dark Green 2014 Stingray in a parking lot so I parked next to it and took a few pics with my phone. It was a car probably from the from GM Tech Center, with a "Captured test car" sticker on the windshield. Now to figure out how to get the pics off the old cell phone.

Jared Richey Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Removed Roof Skin on my newly aquired SS454 car. Someone done some bondo magic and had hundreds of pin holes full of filler along with some big holes full as well. What a mess! Â So Roof Skin is off, not bad for an amateur. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
