Towel and Foil Good idea, Andre! :upthumbs I have a slight mod on that one-I use a bath towel, fold in half, and put a 12" X 12" foil sheet over the top. Then, you can really see the "touch points", and then go from there. If it's close, then don't fold the towel and check again...

Wow! I guess I have been away too much lately. Getting ready to deploy to the Ice-6 weeks left. Congratulations, Patrick-I did not know of your new ride. And, congrats to you, Chris-very nice looking ride. Perhaps strange, I am not normally a fan of red, but ever since my tour of the Plant...

I'm with Igeaux You are a wise man, indeed, Spanish. That has been my philosophy as well. I have 2 '70 El Caminos I have had for several years now. I paid $600 for both-running vehicles. A guest at my home recently viewed them and is quite willing to give me what I want for one ($2K)...

Victory Red C6 is correct. Teflon tape works well. I also use it on the coolant drain and water pump pipe plugs. Your sending unit will seal just fine with it. 2 wraps is just right. Rick :gap

Welcome Welcome to the CAC! :CAC I have a late build '72 as well-June 13th. I have the egg crate side vents. I have never heard of any '72 being produced with the '73 "look" side vents. My hunch is someone wanted to "update" the look of the car in the mid-seventies and had it customized...

Wow...! Good story, Barry. Please keep us posted. I, too would love to see this "body-off" in pictures. Very interesting. It's a darn shame that jerk who sold this car to a young man with a dream. He needs a swift, hard kick in the a$$. I would be happy to contribute to help this young...

Blue with Red It is a unique color combination. I did see one like that at Cruisefest 2006 in BG. It was parked over at the hotel parking lot next to the Cruisefest hotel. BTW, Gadster, welcome to the :CAC You may be interested to know I have a similar situation. My '72 is Targa Blue...

Used car lot... ...;LOL Sounds like our house, too! How ya doin' Bossman? From oldest to newest - '67 Pontiac GTO (400, auto, numbers match) '70 El Camino (327, 4-speed) '70 El Camino (307, auto) '70 Chevelle Concours Estate Wagon (383, auto) '71 Nova (355, auto) '72 El Camino (355...

No problem-happy to assist. I really like the fenders/glasswork on '67 Heaven's (Bob's) car, although I know you aren't shipping it to Canada. You might find out from him who built the flares, though. Just a thought. Good to hear you have gotten a credit on your Visa. That shop won't be...

Denver here... Hey Chuck - You need any help, let me know. I can pick up the fenders or whatever, no worries. I've never heard of these guys, but I have heard enough now.:mad Really like your project. That's gonna be one sweet beast.:upthumbs Rick :gap

Red I am a big fan of the Optima red top. Have several of them in different cars. Anytime I need to replace a battery, it gets the Optima. I also have a camping trailer, equipped with 2 batteries. One blue top and a yellow top. They have great staying power. I can run the lights for days...

Excellent! I am pleased to hear that it all worked out for you. :upthumbs Good to have her back home in good condition. Best regards, Rick :gap

I don't know about this one.;squint: Front wheel drive? And those wheels...:ugh http://www.onlinetripledeal.com/details.php?v_id=48 Rick :gap

No, they won't fall into the cylinder. Those tubes meet with the heat crossover passage under the base of the intake and to the exhaust ports. The carbon will get blown into the exhaust manifolds and out the exhaust upon fire up. But, going to your other post-you could always yank the junk...

Good story. Thanks for sharing. Lucky for me, I have a very tolerant and loving wife as much into cars and motorcycles as I am. A real keeper-who has had her '67 GTO for 15 years. :D When I was losing passion for my '72 Chevelle SS (completed resto, sitting more than enjoying) and saw my...

It does make sense, it just seems odd that it started to happen after it was rebuilt, and seemed to work properly before it went to the shop. You could try disconnecting the tubes and running some baling wire and compressed air down the tubes. Or have the shop do it. red70Vette-they...

RIP, Ken I also never met Ken. But, I sure felt his enthusiasm in all things mechanical in his postings. He certainly seemed like a genuine, positive fellow. I enjoyed reading his sharing of knowledge. May he rest in peace, and I wish his family all the best in difficult times. :upthumbs...

Now the '57?! Argghhh!:mad Copy all about respect. Someone sideswiped my '71 Nova, trashed the rear quarter (from door to bumper), no stop, no show, no respect.:mad Right in front of my house. But, I live in "the hood", lots of brown here, F-150's with stupid wheels/tires. And stereos...

Oh, man! Very sorry to hear that. We have similar problems here with, er, "non-citizens" running around without licenses or insurance. :mad (I toned it down so this won't get tossed into The Edge) I hope she comes back looking good as new. :upthumbs And hey, a '57 for backup is cool...

Hello! Hello, James and welcome to :CAC You will enjoy the Forums, a friendly crowd here. C4's are a good value right now. Good luck at the Academy. :upthumbs Rick :gap
