  1. Too bad you didn't have the camera. I've been waiting for some more of your vids.
  2. The tint will need to be removed, and new tint installed.
  3. That looks sweet! Looks like a K&N filter lid would also help since you have some room between the lid, and the hood.
  4. butt weld. Make sure your seams are tight, as even small gaps can make for an easy blow-through. As stated make sure you just get good tacks and skip around, as not to get too much heat in the pannel so it won't warp. Do a bunch skipping around, take a break to let it cool, then continue doing this untill you have a continous weld made up of tack welds.

  6. My Father does upholstery, and the stuff he uses comes in a 5 gallon bucket, and is sprayed on with a paint gun. It is a contact type cement, and is yellow. You can get the high strength 3M contact cement in a spray can at Home Depot. There are 3 or 4 strengths, get the stronger one. You have to spray both sides, let it dry, then stick them together.
  7. Sweet! Is it a 5.7x54R cartridge? Love those old guns!
  8. I say go for it, if you can really get away with it for a year or two without crippling you financially. You could always go back to the 9-5 if it doesn't work out.
  9. Looks alot better than the first try. Migs make all the difference. FYI the primer won't keep the moisture out. It is too porous.
  10. That paint is Gross! I would give maybe $3000 at most for it though and re-paint it.
  11. In order for it to look like that on a 280, you would have to change the grill, bumpers, and turn signals to the 240/early 260 ones.
  12. That blue looks awesome! What brand of paint did you use? What car did that color come on? Or, is it a non-OEM color? Thanks, Love your car!
  13. Take out the bumper skock, gas tank, and tail light panel, and get in there and hammer and dolly that baby back into shape, then weld all the holes shut. Or, as said before, cut it out, and weld in a new piece.
  14. Blasting the centers with the rim protected is your best bet. However you do it, the chrome needs to come off where you want the paint.
  15. The 350 from the Blazer would be less expensive, and more straight forward, not to mention easier to wire. Either one would be fun in a Z car. You should decide if you want a carb or EFI. That will make the decision alot easier.
  16. I read it like he believes all the running gear is all factory original. "The engine serial number matches the body. It has a 5 speed transmission, and i have every reason to beleive that all running gear is factory." I agree a 383 stroker swap would be sweet in that car.
  17. That is the first early 240 I have seen with an original 5 speed LOL!
  18. I am very curious how this will work out! I want power windows at a minimum in my Z. Since my regulator on the passenger side is shot, if this works as slick as you say, I will be pulling some stanza power windows mfrom the local yard!
  19. Banks has a twin turbo kit as well, but the price is pretty hard to swallow. http://www.bankspower.com/twin-turbo-system.cfm
  20. You will want forged pistons! cast pistons can break apart with detonation.
