Big Update for Febuary

Well I just got back from Las Vegas and was greeted at work by an envelope from Ken's with more restoration progress pictures. I've received 3 updates since the last post so I needed to get the pictures up. It's snowing like crazy outside right now and supposed to snow throughout the night and well into tomorrow. I like the way the car is progressing, should be done and ready to enjoy just as Spring hits!

Anyway, here are 85 new pictures...

Big GN Update For February!

I think the first one is the last one of the previous set. Opps... The next set of pictures is the setup and painting of the fenders, doors, and hood, plus a few pieces of trim. One of my favorites is TJ taking a picture of himself in the hood after the paint was done. Keep in mind this is before any wet-sanding of buffing.

As you can see the paint looks amazing and the pictures do NOT show it justice.

The few pictures of the fender vents are just to show how they fabbed some little tabs on them to hold them in. I guess most guys just use double-stick tape but I think they did a little better than that :)

We decided to scrap the knock gauge and add in a fuel pressure gauge instead to the A-pillar.

The next picture is my radiator being packed up. Ken's sent it out to have a custom mount welded on for some extremely high flow Spal fans (not the ones pictured before, I have to sell those)... actually I have a ton of extra stuff to sell... lol. Since these pictures were a few weeks old, the radiator is probably back to Ken's by now...

The next few pictures is some straightening and welding of a few trim pieces.

My door jamb vents were in crappy shape and since everything else on the car is new, why not get new ones too... pictured with those is a set of Taylor plug wire separators.

Next picture is the remote tranny cooler and fittings, followed by the completed tranny pan.

Next few pictures are more parts, catalytic converter mount, pickup, shifter c-clip, cat, etc.

My original dash moulding had some holes in it and some small cracks so I picked up a GM NOS one. It's so pretty .... Next is a turbo cover, and the double-pumper fuel system.

The next set of pictures is the painting of all of the trim. Who knew the car had so much damn trim!!!!

Each piece meticulously painted, wet-sanded, buffed, etc.

The last pictures of the set kind of look like a Grand National don't you think?!?
