Gus,



Your Devilbiss will work fine for primer. I actually used the Devilbiss Finsihline 4 for my epoxy and DTM primer. I highly recommend their disposable cup system.

Towing your frame is easy if you have AAA.

To answer your YouTube post, I have a mild cam, the car was cold and I'm using Dougs headers with Magnaflow exhaust.

The issues.... Final buff and polish, fix the cold idle, fine tune the curb idle, trim the door weather stripping so they close perfectly flush, install the wiper motor/pump and wipers. Lastly, install seat bracket extenders. With the seat all the way back, my knee can touch the dash board when I clutch. Also feels like I'm driving a NASCAR with the steering wheel uncomfortably close. Just need one more inch.... Never done. Ha ha.

Talk soon, Mike.

Hello mike
Thanks for the input on my paint gun kit. It's nice when I don't have to buy something else.
I used to have a AAA membership but let it lapse when my daughters moved out. Looks like it may be time for a RE up.
Would like very much to hear green envy when she's warmed up. Lots of muscle car guys seem to like magna flow exhaust. I can see\hear why now. When you blipped the throttle she sounded real mean. 2 1/2 or 3 inch exhaust? How about a few more of videos showing the car idling after warm up, pulling away, and maybe a high speed pass?? ;-) OK maybe a bit too soon for a high speed pass!

I fabbed up a set of seat brackets a while back using a bench seat to bucket seat conversion kit. I'm 6 foot two and had the same problem you have. Never fully installed them since I tore the car apart. I think they would have worked but they were kind of a hack job. If you would be so kind Mike, Where did you get your seat bracket extenders?

OK. So a little more to do but you're well on your way to the homestretch Mike. Hope you're putting some miles on her in your California weather is cooperating. Eric and I are already dealing with cold temps. So enjoy the fruits of your labors. You deserve it.
Gus
