I hope those A/F ratio numbers aren't accurate. If they are there's another 10 to 20 hp conservatively left in that combo.

Thanks Chris, had hoped things would have moved along quicker, but there is some progress.

I got some interior window/headliner pieces blasted today.

 

[71Beeper]

Great job!
When I did mine, I was afraid that the blasting process would harm the crinkle finish on the trim, so I used environmentally safe paint stripper on my trim pieces.

Which satin black finish are you going with?

 

[Charger72]

Looking good, mine were glass bead blasted and all texture was kept as it should.

I'm actually going with SEM 15103 Super White, what I had used on my lower door panels, rear panels, etc.

I painted mine back in December.

one coat of primer followed by 2 coats of this:

 

[Charger72]

Looks great, wasn't sure if I should use primer first or not. Think I will follow your lead.

 

[71Beeper]

Yes, definitely use primer.
I really like using the Tremclad professional light grey primer best.

 

[Charger72]

I may have some of that kicking around.

Got my original 26" Radiator back from Glen-Ray yesterday. Well worth the money.

Included are 4 radiator mounting bolts, set of screws and clips to attach fan shroud and a pair of clamps for the radiator hoses.

 

[Charger72]

Also picked up my rebuilt A904 transmission from my local transmission shop.

 

[Charger72]

Also cleaned up the driveshaft, did the old Evaporust in the 4" pvc pipe trick.

Getting the Dash Harness all hooked up, hopefully once it's in the car there won't be too many issues. Compared my original harness with the M&H and they look great, had to do a couple of adjustments.

 

[Charger72]

Legendary Front & Rear seats recovered, wrinkles are less everyday.

AC dash with a strat-o-vent insert?

Took my white Legendary interior like that about 3 months to get everything settled down...but I'm in 95+ degree FL.
