Got pissed off at the wheels and pulled them apart. OCD took over and I polished all the bolt heads and aluminum washers, and even the valve stem. :lol: Sadly, 3 more wheels to go. :(

you put that OCD to good use. it looks amazing!

THOSE are wheels. nice build! pardon me if i missed something, but why change the fuel filter and not drop the tank and clean it out as well as the lines? again, props on a great build!

The changing of the fuel filter is just a bandaid. I'm replacing the tank with in the next couple of weeks. Replacement tanks are only ~$150 shipped.

Thanks! The above shots were taken w/ an AB800 in a 47" octa w/ interior baffle. The parts shot also had an SB80DX at 1/4 power zoomed out and bounced off of a 4x8 sheet of white tile board camera left.

What tranny are you swapping in Greg ? Do you have to go back to the long shifter with the new tranny ? or is your car an auto ?

Thanx, Dave

From 72 on these had the short shifter and Greg's is a 74. I think he mentioned he was going to run an M40, though I don't know why he wouldn't want the overdrive for family cruzin'.
