lol.. thanks Mark.. they did a pretty darn good job on the STB.. its NOT an easy part to chrome and for $75 the price sure was right. If you ever want to ship me your STB id be happy to take it down there <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Thanks for the comments everyone.. helps motivate me to get the thing finished.. well, have to go pick up more parts now.....

 

hey awesome ride! where did you get the carbon fiber for the interior like around the dash and console?

 

Yeah I was teasing ya. I knew you were just joking around. But in all seriousness that gloss black....would look terrible and your brilliant for choosing not to paint it!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

(note from Steve.. I warned you.. <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" /> ) God, the power I wield!!

"JonSS: The Pully is from a shop called TURN ONE Power Steering Systems.. They are in Michigan and supply steering components to BUSCH, NASCAR and other race teams.. the pulley is made from billet and then hard annodized in a sort of grey/bronze color. The pulley is not any heavier than stock and it is MUCH stronger.. Also it can be polished (I had the face of mine polished and left the rest of the annodizing one).. You can call Jeff and order it at 989-652-0216. He only charges $50 for the part which is much cheaper than making your own (my previous plan before I found this guy). You will need a PS pulley puller to remove the old pulley and an installation tool (very simple mechanism) to install the new pulley. "

Thanks steve! I'll give him a call. Where did you get the puller? I might just have to come over to your place and borrow yours! ? ! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Puller from Kragen was around $25.. or you can rent one (if they have it)..

OR.. you can come by and borrow mine <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> You can also borrow my $2 installation tool to get the new one back on (TIGHT fit)

 

steve, can you get me the phone number and address of that chrome plater?
thanks man ! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

 

You know... this is getting ridiculous. When are we going to see that beautiful beast at the Scoggin Dickey? I'll bid on it until my wife divorces me! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

You can get that power steering pulley from Lingenferlter now too...

 

You COULD just RENT a Power steering pulley puller from your LOCAL AUTOZONE...... I belive its $20 plus tax and it is completely refundable(as long as it is returned in good condition).

Steve KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!! I really really really like what you are doing! I like how you didn't chrome EVERYTHING and mixed it up a little. Maybe ONE DAY I'll be able to do that to my car!

steve, what kind of rims are those?

 

Now all you need is a clear see-thru hood and front bumper to show off all the awesome work <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

or hey maybe you should drive with the hood fully opened all the time <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />

LOL

Awesome work. Best looking LS1 engine I have ever seen. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" /> congrats.

 

That is DEFINATELY blingin' <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> Now ya just need a set of free spinning rims. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Yes you could rent it but my Autozone didnt have one so I just bought it.. hey, might come in handy <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I used to drive my 67 with hood off at times.. people would stretch their necks trying to see the bling <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Free spinning rims?? youve been watching too much Monster Garage <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" />

Thanks for all the comments guys.. Ive got the AC and ALT systems back in the car and wired up so progress is being made. I get the radiator system back in today (minus the water pump) and tomorrow I start bolting down the intake and AIR system. I will also route the rest of Power Steering cooling system. Then I just need to finalize the fuel line system design and get my water pump finished and Zooped.

I also got my QuickTime cutout in the mail so I might gut the interior to run wires and put down some sound deadner (like JSears).. Oh, and I have to rebuild the rear calipers and mount them.. One month till CAD/Super Chevy.. I had better get busy <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

very nice steve......

 

Looks beautiful Steve! Are there any other options besides zoopseal to keep the polished finish?

 

Where did you put the coil packs on the valve covers. Is there a good place to put them

Nope, just ZoopSeal for the polish.. will be great if it works -- Note: I did install the zoopseal and it seems to work so far but only time will tell)

Coil Packs just arnt installed yet <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
