I guess my car is a Boss 351 then cause it looks almost like that one. He's even in Utah somewhere. Wonder if anyone in my local club knows who is selling it....

I've been on the wall about cutting mine to allow air to escape, rather than enter. Ram air effect at any sort of speed my car goes is negligible. Would like to help the engine cool more since I have been battling hard hot starts.

Pretty! I dream of a day that my car will actually have a color (Torch Red is the plan) other than primer grey.

Thanks for putting all the time, effort and money into this site, guys. Like many people, we may not post a lot but there is SO much info here and a great group of folks. Been having withdrawls from 69 specific info!

I'm with barnett here, go with a Performer RPM.

My metal tray has 4 x 10 speaker holes horizontally. Which brand of fiberglass package tray did you get? My original pressed cardboard(?) one is in horrible condition and will be getting a replacement sometime and I'd want to steer clear of the one you got if its not fitting anywhere near properly.

Haven't really been a big poster to begin with, but check here everyday for info and to see if I can help anyone. Any work on my car has been put on hold since I'm jobless but it drives like a champ, which is a plus.

Don't mash the pedal and put it in the gear you are going to gun it in manually. Ease into it. If you are still blowing the tires off the car then start tossing money into it. 3.73 gears are just going to make your problem worse. Time for a 4 link coil over setup maybe. :P

I'd love one of these but not for $1,000. WOW! :O I'll just keep working out that left leg.

Generally, Carpenter parts are better. Most SD parts are just generic/cheap mass produced stuff with their name slapped on. It's really hit or miss with SD IMO.

Great lookin car. Hope she gets plenty of exercise!

Looks great. Wanna do mine now? :P

Your carb floats may be off. Check if they are adjusted correctly.

With how original the car looks I'd do the last option. Lowered but not slammed.

That is certainly a dome light.

I don't know if its worth investing money into an 8 inch. I'd bet you could find a used 9 inch that fits somewhere for that kind of price.

Are they even legal where you live?

I'll add that dynomat is terrible if you live in a place where it gets hot. On my brothers Firebird it literally melted and gooped all over the place. He tore it up and replaced with Fatmat.

It's going to be a T5.

I use the exact same stuff Bryan is using. VR1 ain't cheap but beats the crap out of wiping my flat tappet cam.

Absolutely nothing wrong with plasti dip. It's super cheap, super easy to apply (and fix any mistakes made), easy to take care of. I'm going that route to get some color on my car until way down the line when I can swallow the gigantic bill for a quality paint job. Looking forward to seeing pics of it when it's done!
