I'm sorry to hijack this thread, but just gotta ask Brit: Where did you find those Eagle GTs?

Steve, they were on the car when I bought it a few years back. They are date coded 2008 so I'm conscious that while they look great, their days are numbered. Struggling to find a tyre to go with though..

I have the same tires and they were on my car when I purchased it five years ago. Not sure of the date code but I’m sure they are old. A post from a couple of years ago said there are limited runs made from time to time and $375.00 per tire was the quoted price. Nice looking tires but I’ll replace them with something not so pricey.

R/R: steering rag joint, all weatherstripping, windshield, and repaired instrument lights (metal clips and the plastic sockets) Now just need a good drive day!

The date code or D.O.T. is on the inner wall of the tyre

Right. The next time I have a need to jack it or remove a wheel I’ll check. It’s been stored inside since the tires were put on and they have few miles on them so they look good - no age or weather cracking. Still, no high speed runs in it’s future.
My new DeWitt's HP radiator and dual Spal fan combo arrived today.
It is perfect and going up on the shelf with everything else.
Thanks to Tom and everyone at DeWitt's for your customer service and for producing such a great product.

For all the great items you've bought you're going to need more storage space
This spring I'm building a new shed on the side yard.
All the Holiday Decorations will be moved there, plus my wife and mother in laws treasures, making more shelf space and room to pull the body and start this project.
According to my "list" I still have to remodel the master bedroom/bath, complete the new front yard landscaping and refresh the linen closet.
It's going to be a busy year.
I might need to retire.

Outer row is stainless and they torque exactly the same......
I always hated the black oxide getting rust on them after so many years......it is a great idea if you have a real detailed engine.
A buddy and I did some work on his 1970. The previous owner installed the rear wheel toe alignment shims up-side-down. While the trailing arms were out we replaced the rotten bushings. Then reassembled everything with a stainless alignment shim kit and new bolts from Zip.
Both strut rods were bent, so they got replaced with adjustable ones from Van Steel. This required a little clearancing with a dremel on the outer cast iron parts.
One of the rear brake calipers was leaking so that got replaced. Flushed all the brake lines with DOT 4 fluid.
The ebrake cable was stuck, so that got replaced.
We replaced the broken heat riser with a wide open replacement piece from Zip.
Lastly, we installed four sorta-new Bilstein shocks that came off my '73. This dramatically improved the handling!
Now he needs some decent tires and an alignment.

I called ARP.
They gave me the correct part number and I'll get the kit ordered.
Thanks again.
I did an oil an filter change. I replaced my “Champion” radiator cap with a Durolast cap, but I’m not sure if it’s any more reliable based solely on weight and appearance. I was warned early on that the Champion caps have a tendency to blow off under high heat/pressure conditions. My Champion hasn’t failed but I’d rather not take that risk. I’ve heard even the Stant caps aren’t built as thick and heavy duty as they used to be. I’ll give the $10 Durolast a try.
