Progress!! Thats nice Sam.

Ian, I went with the Flowmaster American Thunder Kit. It came with Delta Flow 40s, which are excellent. Great sound under throttle, but absolutely no resonance at all at speeds. Had it up to over 70 on the highway so far and can hold a conversation with anyone in the car no problem. No ear splitting resonance at speeds at all. The kit was 323 bucks and well worth it. Ive heard the Delta Flows are the way to go and I agree now. Here is a link to my thread earlier on this Muffler thread

That looks great! Nice work

Id agree with Rob, done correctly it should be even stronger. By the way, why would you put one of these in a Monte??

I used them on my car, they are real nice, I think I paid 249 for the set and another 50 for the clips. Ditto to what Steve said, there will be a small amount of filing needed, but no big deal. Definatley worth the money in my opinion

18 bucks at Luttys. Get the insulation too, its another 8 bucks

Thats the Bible Capri!!

I got an original GM set that is in perfect shape other than the black is faded on the ribs of the cap. Paid 50 bucks so Im happy! I need trim rings now, tires are in and wheels are painted, hopefully mounted on monday morning! I cant wait to see it with nice wheels and tires on it finally!

I saw them today White72... I just hate to but that stuff without seeing it. It says its not plastic, and it does look good in pics......Hmmmmm Tony

I copied this off the old site and moved it over here for future reference, seemed like some great info that could be useful to many in the future....Thanks Rich!! Originally posted by RichG on the old site Sorry for the long post BUT- Yes, re-install all the screws and seat belt bolts in proper places, snugged down, but not torqued, you just want to be able to find them when you are finished. You should pull the headliner snugly to get rid of the wrinkles, cautious use of a hair dryer will help. Don't go overkill pulling or you will tear the stitching out. Mark the bows when you take them out of the old headliner. It is critical to return them to their proper spots. Also, there are 3 closely grouped holes for each bow, mark which holes were used when you remove the bows and re-install bows in the proper holes. Gently clean each bow with steel wool to help them slide in the bow pockets a little easier. When you hang the headliner, start with the center bow that clips in by the dome light. Work the next bow towards the windshield into place. Start pulling the wrinkles out. Use small binder clips ( from office depot etc) to hold it in place. You may have to make a small slit in the bow pocket about an inch from each end to help get the wrinkles out, look at your old headliner for a guide. When you get that section worked the best you can, install the next bow towards the windshield and work as before. Once you reach the windshield, clip it in place with binder clips and move to the sections from the dome light towards the rear window, work it just like you did the front sections. Once it's all clipped in place, use 3m 77 spray adhesive (!!! follow directions on the can !!!! we usually don't bother but you must for this stuff) starting at the center section, remove the binder clips and carefully spray the glue as directed on the can. When that section is glued, move to the next and so on. There are little barbs on the side retainer strips that will help hold the headline in place. When all clips are removed and glue process is finished, carefully find each screw /bolt and cut a very SMALL X on the screw head with a fresh razor blade. Gently work the headliner over the screw heads. Re-cover the earmuffs by removing the old headliner from them, gently scrape / sand the old adhesive off (you want a clean smooth surface). Lay out the new fabric leave a little extra. Follow the glue directions and spray the adhesive on the back side of the ear muffs so that the griping is done on the side of the earmuff board you don't see when mounted in the car. Trim of excess material and install earmuffs. Finally, install the windlace /window trim which helps retain the headliner then remove screws and install mirror, visors, belts etc. Take your time, gently work the wrinkles from the center out, pull snugly but don't overkill. Good luck

Thanks Ian.... thats what I was afraid of!! Tony

No problems with that as of yet Sam Tony

Yea I dont want the plastic, as far as whats in the center of the cap, Im not sure which way Ill go, I dont need original look, just want something nice Tony

Did the caps come with the wheels? Tony

I was wandering who was a good source for a new center cap and trim ring set for my rallys. I wasnt sure who had the best prices at this point and wandering who you all ordered from? Man I must be getting close asking this question huh??? Tony

We should probably make it more clear over there to everyone, I know it has been posted before, but there are still a whole lot of new posts over there for now. It seems more are coming over here slowly though. Tony

Thats very good!! You did say you got him in sixth grade! Tony P.S., It might be the "trick shift" fluid.... It made your shifts disappear!! Now THATS at trick!

Very nice story you have going there now! Maybe he will find some old pics of when he brought it home! Congrats on that car, you have a rare find Tony

Nice find whether it is or isnt an SS its a nice looking car. I hope it is the real deal! Good luck and welcome to the club Happy day when the car arrives isnt it? Did you check out this link? Real SS?? Tony

Very nice!! Thanks for the songlist, thats a "groovy" 8 track you got there! Great find! Keep On Truckin'! Tony

Pretty nice find there, Ill bet it shows the pure quality of the 1972 Chevrolet audio system!! I think thats a real neat item to have with the car though. Tony Any particular songs on there, or just music to enjoy? Id be curious as to a songlist if there is songs on it.

Looks real nice Terry! And dont drink and post Tony

Still having trouble with the whole big hand/little hand thing? I know I prefer digital! Tony

RM has a product (EP689) its a epoxy sealer, that can be sanded if youd like before you spray basecoat, also, with DS30 you can sand the basecoat after it flashes off. Any basecoat can be sanded as long as you put another coat or two back over it to even out the metallic. The EP product provides excellent protection against sand scratches also. Whatever you decide to do, you will probably be ok, Im just giving my opinion as to what I would do. Not saying that I am the know it all, Im just telling you what I would do, and what I do on a daily basis. Good luck with the car Kevin, Im sure itll turn out great Tony Actually reading that section again Kevin, it sounds like Len agrees that sealer would be best. I am not saying its necesarry, just an added safety measure.
