Yeah - BigMike5 - The dealer jacked my TransAm wrong and broke the left front fender - plastic. They had to replace it, I purchased new and had 1000 miles on it. 67HEAVEN, I think I remember a picture of the rear of your car without the spare tire tub. Much better look. Just mounted up the...

If you guys are interested, count me in. North or south works for me. Steve

OK - informal poll, who carries the spare tire tub with a tire, and who just says the heck with it? If you don't carry a spare - what will you do in case of a flat and no chase car? Steve

Mark & Joe - thanks for the reply. I am somewhat electrically challenged, so my son says, and I liked the relay kits that had everything - including instructions. If I had a simple wiring diagram, I have no problem using the Spal relays pictured above from DeWitts. So Mark, if you could give...

Been trying to get through to order the relay kits. Either a busy signal or no answer/answer machine. He still in buisiness? Did you guys get your relay kits from him or make up your own? Steve

Preparation is the key to success with a paint job. I spent hugh hours prepping my 66 for paint and the actual spray (which my body shop guy did) only took a couple hours. Then hugh hours afterwards sanding and polishing. In the end - looks great. Tell him to strip it all the way and start...

I purchased all 4 bumpers new through Paragon and they fit up without too much difficulty. I don't know if any of them will just bolt on. Had to adjust some of the bracketry but, in the end, they are nice and straight. Once bolted all up, I did notice a couple slight waves here and there...

And other then the date code thing, this has 'what' to do with C2's? Oh yeah, thanks for the explaination on the mineral build-up by using water. What about other liquids? Or, even a nitrogen blast. My brain hurts - too hot yesterday when I repaired part of my garage roof. Contractors kept...

Ok, here is a crazy cooling method I saw the other day down the shore. Older Chevy, 53 or 54 - nice hot rod. I am checking out the engine compartment and I see windshield washer nozzels in front of the radiator - 4 of them. Me being the analytical accountant I ask, quoting 'VNV", WTF?? The...

Hey IH2lose - I am that grey haired guy! I just got the new speedometer drive gear in so I will change it out today and try it out. Unfortunately I blew out a tire on my Trans Am so I will be playing with that today - I will see just how good the 'all road hazzard guarantee' really is. John -...

Woke up yesterday and figured that since I had to get gas in the 66, might as well take the day off and cruise. Drove to Long Beach Island (Surf City), checked on the beach house had some lunch and drove back. Great day cruising through the Jersey pinelands with the big block and sidepipes...

Larry - Great pics. I see a lot of NJ tags - where was the cruise? Steve

Yep - I got to see it too. Love those rear fenders! Steve

Magicv8 - thanks for the reply. Don't know which gear is in there yet. Hope to find out one noght this week. I utilized an additional 3/8" spacer at all body mount points. Was looking for some additional tire clearance and also received extra space for the trans. WayneC - great info -...

Need help with getting the speedometer within reason. I have a NOM 427 and a variable pitch turbo 400 in my 66 coupe. Finally got a speedometer cable that would fit AND work, however it is reading about 25% too high. My son was driving my T/A on cruise control at 50 mph, I was reading about...

Mark and John - Thanks for the info. It doesn't look too technical. I get my son with all his electronics test equip and go for it. Thanks again. Steve

Can anyone instruct me on how to test the fuel sending unit? Tank is new, sending unit is not, gauge does not reflect fuel level in tank. I filled the tank about half way and still no reading. Steve

I had to replace the entire right inner fender on my 66 and, from the picture, it appears to be a separation. We utilized the proper adhesive and where the inner fender and the hood drip rail connected we used thin wood blocks and 'C' clamps. be careful that you don't change the arc of the...

Also, you can get new parts, including a quartz upgrade, and do it yourself. Steve

It is something to realize how many have survived. Mine has been in the garage for 22 years and I am now driving it - keeping close to home at this point. Considering there were a relitively small number built (compared to todays production figures) there are still a lot arround that are driven...
