cny first gen 71 Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 Finally got mine out after its extra long winters nap, battery was dead but charged right up. Finally dry enough to put trailer on side of house so I could get it out Quote
Rock Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 Went to a car show Saturday the 10th and received this little dish. Really suprised. Glendia was getting worried that we were going to be shut out again. Not me it is just something else we have to keep clean but it was nice to get the recognition.going to have to buy a bigger trophy case at this rate. Quote
monte70car Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 Lifted off the cover on my 70 to check something and said nope I'm not going to go and stick my hand under the dash. Had a little field mouse in it and don't want to meet him right now. So I went over to the 72 and ran more wires. Got the under dash gauges all hooked up, got the EFI brain wired in. Quote
72-CLASSIC_RIDE Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 Today I completed my project(s)! Tomorrow I wash her up and start detailing her getting ready for the Western Meet. Inner Fenders got painted today (the weather cooperated), checked A/C and works so much better now with the. new Blower Motor. Installed Inner Fenders and put her back together. Long day(s) but have been worth the effort. Now I think I can relax a little bit. Oh yeah and dressed the 2 front tires. Pic is a before & after of tires. Doug 1 Quote
monte70car Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 Tapped out some areas on the air cleaner so it clears the so call fuel bowls Now I have to figure out the power brake fitting as it fits one of the runners on the intake. Don't want a plumbing nightmare. Quote
Paul Bell Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 I fooled with a few small things today. O2 sensors installed, knock sensors installed, coolant temp sensor installed, fuel rail hold-downs finalized, throttle body and cable bracket finalized, measurements taken for LS coil mounting, discovered the 1x Vortex distributor takes the smallest drive gear.

Rob Peters Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 Went to a local car cruise and met up with one of my Johnson & Johnson co-workers. rob Quote
420ponies Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 Changed oil & filter after a long hard winter in my buddy's garage. Now for those pesky spark plugs. Anyone wanting to do this for me? not much time before the mini-meet!! Quote
GatorDog72 Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 I ripped my fuel cell and battery out of the trunk to completely strip the crappy peeling paint and rust off the floor. Repainted it with black chassis paint, now the trunk looks acceptable enough to open it at a show 2 Quote
420ponies Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 Well thanks everyone ,went and got them out myself Ha, Ha !! getting all set to roll out for Carlisle! 1 Quote
monte70car Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 Got to spend some time on the 72 rolled it out to weld the wheelie bars on. Quote
LostnFound Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 I cleaned road grime from the rain storms on the way home from the Eastern Meet. The whole car was covered. I also installed one of the Morris Concepts seat belts for the test run. Been there...done that....bought and used the t-shirt. Quote
1970MonteCarloNH Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 Dropped off radiator support to be sand blasted and powder coated gloss black 1 Quote
Droff Posted July 15, 2017 Posted July 15, 2017 Finally jumped in and used my welder for the first time. Ugly but functional. Quote
badddoin Posted July 15, 2017 Posted July 15, 2017 Finally jumped in and used my welder for the first time. Ugly but functional. Congratulations, welding is a game-changer. Oh, and I've seen a lot worse. Quote
monte70car Posted July 16, 2017 Posted July 16, 2017 Had the wheels off the 72 and grab some pictures of the work that was done and even slide the drive shaft into place. Cut the wheel studs down so I can run the matching rear lug nuts. Quote
monte70car Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 Been prepping the top for some color. Hopefully no set back tonight while it drys and color in the morning. Quote
domnic6 Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 I just replaced the header gaskets and valve springs. Quote
Paul Bell Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 A few more baby steps on my LS1 fuel injection installation. 1 Quote
bigtankjones Posted August 13, 2017 Posted August 13, 2017 A few more baby steps on my LS1 fuel injection installation. I like your set up. Looks clean. Quote
cny first gen 71 Posted August 13, 2017 Posted August 13, 2017 Woohoo finally able to get mine out of garage. First Sunday since the nationals I've been home and not raining. Just out burning some gas. Feels good for a change 2 Quote
Paul Bell Posted August 13, 2017 Posted August 13, 2017 I like your set up. Looks clean. Unfortunately, I can't use these Hartman plastic valve covers anymore, each bolt boss is cracked. When tightened, the cracks spread and they weep oil. I'm considering tall cast polished blanks and getting them anodized-blue, of course. Quote
Paul Bell Posted August 20, 2017 Posted August 20, 2017 Billet Specialties said it was impossible to use an electric water pump. And space out the system to add a crank sensor behind the crank pulley. I wonder what they would've said about fitting the bigger/better AD244 alternator? (Don't worry, I'll be getting a polished one) Quote
