2 years ? If it is that hard to find, I would hate to know what you paid for it.

I took apart a set of disc brakes I picked up the other day. I plan to have the backing plates and the calipher brackets refinished. They even came with the 2 piece rotor which the 70 had on them. Not sure if they are turnable. Car will be leaving the first of the month to have the engine installed. June 1st will be the completion of this car.

Glad to hear Gary you got you speaker grille

I walked into my shop for a few minutes just to look at the Chevelle ,El Camino ,Trans Am and 55 dreaming of taking them for a ride but then had to get back outside and resume my yard work.

Trying to spend a couple of hours a night on the car. Cleaned up the backing plates and calipher brackets. Almost ready to be refinished.

All I need to do is install the spark plugs, prime the engine, and stab in the distributor and this puppy is ready to fire up.
May do that today.
Also, ordering a few items from Vintage Air to complete that A/C installation. Compressor and condensor are in...just needing some longer plumbing to make the install more tidy to my liking.
Will need these items before I can bolt in the evaporator housing.
Then I can finally install the new AM/FM radio purchased from Ausley's.
Whew...

Decided that I am going to win the $500 million lottery on Friday night, then I will be able to do whatever I want to my car.
