Phil -

DID paint the lower shroud of the fan housing, but in satin black - need to make it gloss, but not messing with the alloy section attached to the engine.

Not striving to match the perfection of your sweet goldie!

Hope you are well - I'm doing great now.

Take care......

Rebuilt the CV joints on my '71 project car. Lots of crusty old grease in there, but surprisingly little wear on the metal surfaces. Van Svenson's YouTube vid on CV joints is the ticket for the job. Lot's to do on this old girl, but hope to have it on the road next year.

Installed new rubber lines on the front brakes and installed a rebuilt PMB rear caliper on the rear, adjusted the venting clearance and finally bled the system to get a good firm petal.

Vacuumed the outside of the car today getting it ready for the next driving season in very hot AZ. Still a little too hot for use as of this week. Also took it off the blocks and ramps for test drive. Attached Image

Went through the engine compartment fuel hoses and updated all including new fuel injector seals. The kit from AA was ok but I ended up being short some clamps. Luckily had a few around that were the proper type.

Installed new spark plugs, changed the valve cover gaskets.

Started to tidy up the wiring, made a few brackets.
One near the starter and the other on the engine mount.

I painted my rockers with wurth satin black (cleaned first with wurth surface prep) very happy with the result. Nice and smooth.

Also had to flex seal my windshield trim (lost the first set on the highway last week after windshield replacement). Not happy with this result. I'd appreciate any advice of how to permanently seat the trim in the clips without the use of flex seal!

Then took a nice drive.

For the windshield trim you may have to remove the glass and start over. Clean out the track and install new clips and then the windshield. Then the trim. Additionally, I do not see the front mounting screw and spacer for the rocker install. But the rockers do look nice. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Drove the teen to Mike's914 and picked up some 5 bolt struts and hubs. Hard to to tell if I got a matching pair, he let me take home 3 struts to check out, I'll clean up the part numbers today.
3" struts because I have 2 sets of Alfa brembo's in my stash.

Not sure if I'll pass these to teenhulk or sale them in the future. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

The rockers were fiberglass. Were the factory rockers fiberglass or is this an aftermarket part? Do you know of any pictures available on the web of the correct installation of the rocker in terms of the parts (you mention the mounting screws and spacer) used? I see that AutoAtlanta has a kit but I'm not sure where everything goes.

@boxster914 - Here's a good diagram from 914Rubber.com - which is also where you can get the spacers.
