Sorry to hear about the C5… Harvey was no joke. Good to see this thread revived. Now I have to go back to the beginning reread!

Refletix IS awfully @#$% and goes to heck in six months...it's mylar backed bubblewrap, the plastic is polyethylene.....all that work to have it deflate, delaminate, collapse and leave a million mylar flakes everywhere.

probably get more time out of it in Minnesota...but anywhere where there's heat/ozone etc....just dreadful.

PASS!

THAT SIR! is pure ****! made my day. I redid my tire carrier....but that is the nicest I've seen yet! Cool Beans.

I had the original never on the ground tire in mine, the old Polyglas. Took a million pictures of it from every angle and then chucked it. It was so dry rotted, that I was better off driving home on the brake rotor!

This is going to get interesting. Cars been sitting pretty much for 6 years while I've worked on it . Finally got it running after installing the headers & finishing the brakes ( about 2 months ago ) was babying in a few days in the neighborhood & started having issues with it just dying . Rebuilt the distributor & putting it all back together now . I know it's going to need some fine tuning .
