This is my inspiration. That GTG sounds fun. I will have make sure she is tripworthy and I trust her before I do that though. I should have enough time.

Hey -P-!

Rich's car is damn sweet... no 2 ways about it... and if you need a local mechanic... Wes(H&H) up in Plano has done some stuff for Rich and he's very knowledgable!!

shoot me an email anytime you want to hang!

Ordered the clutch kit through Pelican.

Also got a couple extra c/v bolts, the Bolt removal tool, the rear main seal, input shaft seal, and a nice chunk outta my wallet. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Anyone know a good machine shop around here where I can have the flywheel turned?

i'll add a couple things to your punch list.

plastic cup for the throw out arm pivot.
anal me would replace the flywheel bolts.
if you machine the flywheel, take an equal amount off the step and shim the pivot ball bolt accordingly.
new copper washers and nuts for the exhaust.
clean and inspect the throw out arm for cracks.


are we having fun yet?

P,
you could have got the CV bolts at Zim's... they have an allen head version that doesn't need the tool!

you may give them a call and ask about turning the flywheel... but I would call Wes and have him send you to a place he likes... Wes has been doing this for years!!! (not to say Zim's hasn't...) I prefer Wes b/c he understands what a budget actually is... even if some people don't have them...

Thanks for the tips. I drove her home today with the slipping clutch. That was quite a experience. Learning to drive the tail shift tranny, slipping clutch, hot day!!!. The a/c blows ice cold! Everything is as it should. Every light works, every button/knob does its function. Drives straight, handles nice (needs better tires/rims and a stiffer suspension), steeriing is a bit loose. Runs smooth, seems to have decent power though the clutch woes prevented me from getting on it. No smoke and has good drivability. Brakes are a bit stiff and might need a going over but stop evenly. Still looking for rust besides the battery tray and havent found any. The entire underneath is coated with a protective spray (a blessing and pain) The car feels solid and everything shuts with an authorative click or thud. Im stoked!!!!

Where are some good places to get the flywheel machined here?

I pulled the tranny out last night. No stripped bolts, nuts, skin. No rust and not too much grime to get in the way. Piece of cake. The clutch and associated parts should be here today or tommorrow.
