Title: Sea Blue 66 Sunroof.....Back on the Road
Post by: kustomlarry on September 03, 2010, 22:50:20 pm
Well, it has been a while but it is back out cruisin thanks to my friend, Bruce. After breaking the Alternator Stand I was a bit disheartened and just wanted to fix the problems it had. In doing so there is a huge improvement in the car. I still need to get a stock length beam. The 4" narrowed on is just not what I want on the car....I am going for a more traditional cal look.

The paint has been compounded and buffed so it looks like a different car.

Other things done to the car:

Berg Welded and Balanced fan
Clyde berg Breather box
new alt stand
Fixed electrical gremlins
decklid standoff
M&H cheater slicks
T-bars
german tin on motor
redid breather setup
New windshield with American trim
Installed Popouts.....
Oil baffle was in wrong....fixed
and a few other things

It looks great. One thing is either the Cam is in 180 off or the Dist gear is in wrong. Was a bitch to figure out but it is done. Hope you enjoy....

Larrys sea blue 66 is currently in my shop getting some surgery. Hope to have it wrapped up in 2 weeks. I am sure he will update this thread then. Thanks--Bruce. ;D
