Not going to change the color, just trying do decide between BC/CC or lacquer.
The "discussion" needs to take place with a bottle!
No question in my book, BC/CC. Just my .02 - Shot a lot of lacquer back in the day, after using the BC/CC would never go back unless you were going 100% original. Your going to get the same look (in my opinion) with a MUCH-MUCH better product.single malt!!!! How are your tequila taste buds??
The transmission, clutch, PP, flywheel are all here. The engine should be here this week. The car should be back from suspension work in a week or so. I will try to update everyone as progress is made.
The flywheel, PP & clutch should be here today. I am planning to get the bell housing clocked and the FW, PP clutch mounted. I need to get the clutch arm pivot ball etc, but I suspect that these are in stock at Summitt. Hopefully get the trans mated to the engine by the end of the week (depends on work load).
I was a little concerned about the oil pressure gage, but I spoke to the people who are going to restore the cluster. I am told the factory 80# gage is actually good for well over 100# so that shouldn't be an issue.
Offset Bell Housing locating pins cam in around 12:30 this afternoon. Screwed around for about 3 hours trying to get everything aligned. Wound up within 0.0035" TIR so that is finally done!
Installed the clutch and pressure plate.
Installed adjustable pivot ball for the clutch arm. Waiting for the paint to dry on the arm to install that and button up the bell housing.
I may try to get the transmission sorted and mounted to the engine tomorrow (depending on workload) Now I do believe that it might be time for an old, single malt or two
