67 GTS 4-Speed: Daily Summer Driver
This holiday weekend I was able to get some time to do a little work on the gts. Between organizing the garage and all of the other family drama I was able to strip the air cleaner housing I got and paint it with this wrinkle finish paint.
I am not too pleased with this "wrinkle" finish, but again I am not to sure what the wrinkle finish is suppose to look like. I was also able start work on the console I got from a member here. I got the body of the console finished. came out pretty well
I started to work on the top plates. They were pitted in some areas so we will see how the final product comes out. But I was only able to get the argent silver on, still need that black stripe to be applied.
Other car work was trying to figure out the cold start issues on the charger, and getting some of the components off the vehicle to send out to be rebuilt.
But the remaining work on the GTS should be as follows:
finding a dip stick that would work ( I am going to reach out to TTI about this, they should know. Plus according to their installation instructions it needs to come out to install the headers anyway). Need to get the rear end rebuilt with new gears and bearings, rear brakes, exhaust, clutch linkage (new Z bar), 180 degree thermostat and housing (mine leaked terribly on break in), getting the power steering coupling (couldnt find the spare one, so may rob one off of the spare columns), make brackets so the power steering pump pulley lines up with crank pulley, chroming the bumpers, seat foam, and head liner
