69 GTO Build

[Fastmonty]

Gentlemen,

I attached another motivational picture. Enjoy. Looks like some great work was accomplished last weekend by Eric and Gus. Great job... Manual brakes for Eric... So, I'm eating my words, eh? I drove a manual brake NASCAR, it was the scariest braking experience I've ever had. They probably weren't warmed up properly. Obviously I'm going for more reliability and safety, than track performance. Of course, I'm just as anxious to get you guys some feedback on the Hydroboost too...

Eric, the Vintage Air system I got is for a Chevelle, and I had to do some significant modifications, which I'm sure you're ok with. I ran all of the hoses under the fender and through the existing fan duct hole. You'll also need to mount some studs on the inside of the firewall to mount the unit. I chose to weld bolts through the fire wall, shown here as well... there are two.

Gus, I got the smoothie panel from ... http://www.abcperformance.net/firewa...%20panels.html I liked it because it also had 1/8" diameter holes pre-drilled along the perimeter, for Cleco fasteners. It wasn't that heavy, maybe 16 guage?

So, now I need some help... I'm installing the side windows, and spent most of the weekend cleaning the old ones. Two of them have wear scratches from years of use... any idea how I can remove those scratches? I assume there's some way to sand them down?



Thanks guys... Mike
