I made a new stainless steel reed valve for my Campbell Hausfeld 2-cylinder air compressor. Since I use my air compressor for my '71 every day I figured its a part of my '71. I have a new valve plate and piston rings coming so when the new parts arrive I'll "refresh" my old compressor to make it almost as good as new. Every C3 owner needs a decent air compressor..................

Replaced the t-top weather-striping, looking forward to the first rain to see if it stops the water leaks

Swapped the rear leaf spring bolts with the 10" ones from VB&P. Lowered the back end about 2 inches, sits right where I want it. Looks a lot better.
Also bought new grade 8 hardware for the bell housing for when the new motor comes in.

Pulled the trigger about 5 minutes ago and ordered some new t-top stripping... I had an encounter and found that no, it does not seal. All I could do was laugh at myself!

Making drawings for a ram air setup for my '71 big block. I'll take pictures once I get started and share them with you. It'll drop the air inlet temperature 100 degrees in the dead of summer.

Burning Brakes
I removed the alternator, got it rebuilt and re-installed. On the down side I found the positive battery cable clamp was broken. A job for another day.

Where did you get the shut offs from? I have had mine for 3 years now but are rather large and would like to replace them with something like yours
