Thanks guys.

I pretty stoked about the car. I went to DMV yesterday and got my Title and Registration done. The car now has the cool new Oregon Pacific Wonderland Plates like back in the early 1960's.

This is what they look like.

Thanks Mark :thumbsup:

We do get a lot of rain here so the lawn is green even if it is mostly moss!

I contacted Lynn Miller here on the forum for a Vin plate last week and it turned out great!

Here is a Photo of it installed with my Vin # laser printed on it.

Allen,

Nice car, it sounds and looks great.

I am running the same intake from Dynatek. I noticed the throttle sensor has been moved from the back of your left throttle body, where did RCR put it?

Can you post a picture?

Loved the vids...and the pics! :laugh::laugh:

Thanks,
Howard

Hey Allen,

What lift brand/model is that? Would you recommend it?

Mike,
Not to steal anything from the thread, but if you watch the papers for a dealership closing/auction, you can pick one up for around $600. Then you have to disassemble it and get it home.

Hi Howard,

It looks like they moved the sensor to the front right carb/injector.

Hi Mike,

The lift is called The Complete Lift/model # SL 10,000 CSP. I love it for working on cars.

I bought it from a local company a few years ago for $1,700. With all of the dealerships going out of business I imagine you could find a good used one cheap as said earlier.

Here is a link for it 4 Post Lifts | Four Post Vehicle / Automotive / Car / Truck Lifts, Above Ground Garge Lifts, Alignment Lifts

Hi Howard,

Thanks Allen, that looks like the only other place you can move it to.

Thanks for the replies Bill/Allen! I will look around...

Well I started thinking about heat protection for the fiberglass above the exhaust and this is what I am looking at.

Lava heat shield mat

Made from crushed volcanic rock, our Lava Mat™ has all the same benefits as our HP Heat Shield Mat with that trick carbon fiber look! Don't be tricked by the fool’s gold! This outperforms that gold foil vinyl sticker stuff by reflecting 70% more radiant heat. This heat shield insulator helps to reflect radiant heat away to provide an air box heat shield or a heat shield barrier for your carbon fiber or fiberglass hood. Our Lava Mat™ can also be laid on a fire wall to shield radiant heat and give your vehicles that trick carbon fiber look. Our Lava Mat™ withstands 1200°F direct continuous and 1800°F intermittent.

I am not sure how good this stuff is yet. If I do order it I will let you know how I like it. At least from what they say it sounds like it will do the job and it's adhesive backed also. Hopefully it will stick and hold good.

Good find Allen..
You might want to add a post to the section where we were discussing various heat shields!

Allen,

I believe Cam is using this on his SL-C firewall.

Allen, here is a pic with the lava mat on. I think it takes up to 1200c. Dunno how it works, haven' gotten my engine started yet. Prettty easy to put on, takes 2 people. you will get a few creases but i think it looks cool. carbon fiber-ish.
