Looks good.:2thumbs:Do you have any pics of your mounting fabrication/framing for your fuel cell from the underside?

For all you guys from Chicago...One of my favorite sayings was when I was a kid,my grandpa used to say, 'borrow me $50 until Milwaukee Ave. staightens out'.I never knew what he was talking about for years,but now,think it's pretty funny.See if you guys can figure it out...

Is that a Uflex Nisida steering wheel?

Brian Setzer
Brian Setzer or The Stray Cats?

So how did he do in the race? That red TA looks pretty fast...

I'm a plumber on usually residental jobsites,and you would not believe what the woodframers chuck in the dumpster.If I dumpster dove for a year,I easily would have plenty of lumber literally to build a decent sized house,no joke.

Haven't seen it yet...Is Smokescreen in it?

Lines flow quite nicely.
IMO,it looks like less wheel and more rubber to fill those flares would be the way to go,possibly a 15" w/ a 50 series tire,IMO.But,I'm only saying that anyway to get you to post more pics!Build up pics would be sweet as well..Nice Z w/o a doubt.

Very nice indeed.I'd like to see a shot of that molded rear spoiler.That puppy is gonna look wicked.
-
Dan's has always been one of my favorite Z's here at HybridZ.Very cool to see some recent photos.Are you still running the TPI setup?Any chance you could share or PM some photos since I'm planning a similar install?
Or any more photos for that matter....
Nice rides,fellas:2thumbs:

"Wanted Man" by RATT deserves a few of my speeding tickets...

Hehe.Awesome.Tell your passengers they have to bring their own diaper,so when they ♥♥♥♥ themselves,they won't ruin a nice pair of pants.More pics!

I've got a fairly rusty Z,but most of the seals(tail lights,turn/side marker lights,etc.)are in fairly good condition ,and I'd like to reuse most if possible.No dry rotting,but are starting to get a little stiff.The question is,are there any techniques,products,etc, for cleaning,and softening for these rubber pieces without damaging them or drying them out?Any tricks of the trade?Thanks!
-
That is basically what I needed,but that microfiche is so blurry,I can't really see much.Anyone?A photo,another site/download?Does the shop manual(or does the Haynes manual)have a schematic drawing possibly?Help!
-
I was thinking of a microfiche in a service manual of some kind, or a parts list,or even a photo of a member who has their's out at this time,or a spare part maybe..Thanks!

I repainted the arms and brackets under the cowl,and am in the process of re assembling and lubricating.The bracket that connects to the motor is connected to the first arm and therin lies the confusion.The bracket to the first arm connects with a plate,spring,2 washers,a 2 piece bushing that is keyed so they fit together,and a c-clip.It doesn't seem like I installed these pieces correctly.Does anyone have a pic of this connection?Or the order in which they are assembled?

The 3rd gen. TPI engines are tucked in there pretty good,but not impossible to work on.The 700r4 trans is practically indestructable.With some minor engine work,a shift kit and a couple bolt ons,they can make some decent low to midrange power.You're gonna need it, because those Fbodies are heavy...3750 lbs is alot of steel to get going....
-
Classic Industries and GM Performance have a decent inventory for parts...Spent $THOUSANDS$ with the '87 GTA...Man I miss my F body too.From that to a Jeep Grand Cherokee...
-
Trust me gi,you have to wait your turn before you drool over that Z!
-
Having the strut tubes sectioned isn't that expensive as stated above,if you find a professional,reputable TIG welder,And give him DETAILED instructions with photos on the work being done.I had a local race shop botch my originals,and had to source a second set,and another professional TIG welder,just because the first guy couldn't follow my simple,yet thourough directions and photos,just a complete nightmare.(the second set of strut tubes turned out great!)I'm certain the search function will give you a plethora of info pertaining to your questions on this.

Can't outrun the Motorola!Nice driving though,for a crook.
-
nice!:2thumbs:seriously digging those hurricane wheels...

I don't know how all you guys forgot the one-eyed,pipe smoking,spinach eating sailor,but the old Popeye is mine.Not the episodes with him in the white suit,but the older ones with him in the blue and red suit.If you ever get the chance to catch one of the older episodes,it's guaranteed you'll laugh your ass off.

As a past owner of an '87 GTA w/ the 5.7 TPI,IMO,it's one of the coolest looking engines to stuff in a Z.Dan Juday popped in a 305 W/ the TPI and just looks sweet.So as far as appearance,way cool.Performance,well,the bone stock 5.7 was rated at around 225-245 hp way back in 87-89,plenty of tire erasing low end,but not a high revver.Either way,no matter what powerplant you choose,$$$=horsepower.There are plenty performance parts for these 5.7's,as well as for the LT,and LS,so I think it just boils down to personal preference.Good luck w/ the build,and keep the handful of us with the oldschool TPI's updated on your progress.
How many SBC v8 guys are using manual trannies?
