Got the tub back on Friday, minus hoods. Body shop man apparently worked till 23:00 on Thursday to make sure I would have it for the weekend.
Weather has been awful, and this morning was the first time it stopped raining long enough to pull the car out of the garage. Attached image(s)

QUOTE QUOTE(Eric_Shea @ Jul 30 2006, 05:01 PM) It was about 75-80 in CO that day and I was scooting along around 100-120mph to the Steamboat parade on I-40. That was with a stock 2.0. The one in the GT I'm building is going up front. Nearly all the originals had them there. Hey... we have the same engine! Absolutely P-E-R-F-E-C-T GT motor IMHO. Eric, I have not really had vaporloc problems with the stock pump location, but the temperatures you mention certainly occur here. The incident you mention, was that with the stock location, or one closer to what I'm doing ? I guess the main reason I might try to keep the pumps in the back, for now, is that I'm beginning to smell the oats, and I'm anxious to get the project done. Very good feedback, though, thank you. as long as you dont have the factory heater boxes blasting hot air at the pumps they will be fine, here is some backup: http://www.pbase.com/9146gt/image/23962455 |
