Hey Glenn,

IMHO the Sheridan body kit is #1 for aerodynamics and looks. If I had the time and $$$ I would have gone the custom fabricated steel fendered route but....

You can get the Sheridan fenders directly from the source or, if you have the time to shop around, you can start posting "WTB" (want to buy) ads everywhere online. Including right HERE, as this is where I found mine. ($250.00 for the rears)

You'll love Roger Sheridans website.... =-) Make sure you've got some Kleenex handy so yo don't soil yourself. LOL

quick progress update.

the high torque mini starter works like a champ! it doesn't require the adaptor plate the chevy starter uses which makes for a very nice fit and engagement.

then i received Mar7ck's wiper/blinker switches in the mail a few days ago so now i'm working through how to get that part of the wiring complete.

so far i've figured out how to make the gas gague, blinkers, running lights and headlights work but can't get the brake lights to work yet.... the MC is hooked up but it got late last night. i'll pick it up again tonight.

quick question:

how do i get the wire connectors from the blinkers and wipers through the ignition/steering column housing?

those two connectors are shaped to go around the steering shaft but the housing is narrow enough so that i cannot just slide them through the housing.

yes the connectors are snapped together.
yes i've tried a little flat blade screwdriver to persuade them in.

i have not tried spit and some nice words....


help, pleeeease.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

it's amazing what you can do with an angle grinder....

the opening in the steering column housing was definately too small probably due to different year connectors/blinker/wiper switches soooooo. angle grinder. =-) no more problem.



i figure everyone likes to see a good horror flick so here's mine... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

one little short in the right blinker and she's all good. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

little update.

all electronics work now except the right blinker. that right blinker shorts out and blows the blinker/brake light circuit/fuse. i think the short is in the column switch.

i don't know how to go about solving that mystery but after i button it up tomorrow she'll be a driver.

when i started this project i thought it might take 3-4 months.

15 months later....



mueller, ya' going to be around??? =-)

Nuther little update.

I started prepping the fiberglass and sheet metal.

Ever since someone said you can't paint a car with rustoleum I've been experimenting with it to see what results I get.

Here's one result.

Now that you have painted it sand it with 2000 grit paper, then paint it again cut it with polishing compound followed by waxing. This will result in a mirror like shine from a rattle can.

nuther little update.

i can't have you guys thinking i'm doing nothing on my car... can I? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

i just can't decide on paint scheme.


i made the mistake of watching discovery channel highlights on SEMA and it started me thinking... black is great but what if i ... (add any hair-brained ideas you may have here).

so i'm just prepping the car with the hope that i'll get committed to one color/scheme.

Yes Marck, she'll be glossy one way or another. LOL

A Rustoleum rattle-can special.


It really makes the rockers, bumpers, and sail-panels look bad now.

Those are now added to my "to do" list.

Enjoy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Wow, it's been a while since my last update.

I had Eric rebuild my spaced rear calipers.
Here they are installed.

Purdy... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Tomorrow I flip the car around and pull the motor. Dang I hate doing this solo.

Anyone free and in the area tomorrow? Can supply beverages and burgers. =)

My builder buddy told me I had too much cam and too much of a high rise intake for the compression I was running which is 9:1.

So I've brought the cam down one notch and also matched it with a more modern medium rise, split plenum intake good from 1800 to 6000RPM's. It will be very streetable now.

Too much torque buy waaaay more manageable than before. I baby her anyways. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Operating Range: 1800-6000 RPM
Duration Advertised: 274° Intake / 286° Exhaust
Duration @ .050'' Lift: 230° Intake / 236° Exhaust
Valve Lift w/1.5 Rockers: .490'' Intake / .490'' Exhaust
Lobe Separation Angle: 110°

Hey Felix,
With the sticky Porterfield pads, they do a fine job on the track. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
