Great job on the flares...you're an amazing welder. Had I tried to do that...well, lets just leave that to your imagination. You'll be glad you stripped the car...even though you probaby thought you had opened a can of worms mid stream.
Looking forward to more pics! |

So i was playing with the hood this evening, and i could not get the hood lined up for the life of me, and I found this.....Damnit i knew it was hit some where just couldnt tell (Or maybe I did and i didnt want to think about it) Any one had these issues and is there an easy resolution.....HELP!!!!.....
Inside the Trunk (IMG:http://i328.photobucket.com/albums/l326/walloch/Eric048.jpg) Then this....(Small People helped me take these pictures....) (IMG:http://i328.photobucket.com/albums/l326/walloch/Eric053.jpg) But the Hoods aligned as far back as it can go (IMG:http://i328.photobucket.com/albums/l326/walloch/Eric056.jpg) But... (IMG:http://i328.photobucket.com/albums/l326/walloch/Eric058.jpg) (IMG:http://i328.photobucket.com/albums/l326/walloch/Eric060.jpg) (IMG:http://i328.photobucket.com/albums/l326/walloch/Eric061.jpg) So in the end im stuck with 2 bad things, 1) Hood latch that is catching the front lip and 2) Hood that's hitting the front Lip.... HELP Also is there an easy way to cut out the Original Motor Mounts....I dont want to run them and I want to make sure that the area is well supported (E.G.- New Plating).....Your Thoughts anyone....

Getting the motor mounts off not so hard. Find the spot welds and drill them. Then get a flat thin chisel or heavy duty scraper behind it and it will tap right off. On my car http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=87896 I made carboard template of the long under the motor mount area than transfered it to a plate of 1/8" steel. Multiple bung welds and the perimeter welded as well.
 Gonna hang my engine off this and doubt it will rip off, unlike the original mount whose lack of strength was pretty scary. |

I wanted to know if the barrels above can be cleaned up, and re-honed? I was just wondering cause i have a great deal from a friend for an incomplete set that looks good and are matching numbers for the pistons. He has 4 barrrels and 5 pistons, i was going to use some of mine mine but i wanted to make sure i can reuse it all...or the majority.
Anybody give me some hints? sorry you have to scroll up.......! LOL |

LOL I'm no expert but there are a few things to know before this can be answered. First is to figure out if they are Nikasil or Alusil cylinders. It is my understanding that if they are Alusil they might be scrap. Like anything else there is a acceptable tolerance for wear limits. You need to find out what those are for your cylinders and then see if they are within spec or not. I'm sure someone like EBS Racing can help you out. They refurbish / resell cylinders and I believe can re-apply the Nikasil coating but it won't be cheap. |
