Default New stuff installed.. pics

Just thought I would share.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

New to the project.. chromed STB, TCS bracket, Pulley washers.

<img src="http://members.aol.com/steven0932/motor5.jpg" alt=" - " />

Polished power steering lines (with braided hoses).. didnt realize these are stainless steel <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> -- they polished up real nice.. I also got the chromed hood struts back, they look nice and believe it or not blend in more now (with the pewter)..

<img src="http://members.aol.com/steven0932/ps.jpg" alt=" - " />

Now is the frustrating part where you go to do a project and your missing a gasket or bolt.. or there is a delay on a part that keeps you from installing several parts..

Now to find some intake bolts...

[start trance like state] Its sooooo preeeetty [end trance like state]

Its beautiful! And leave the intake alone. If you paint it gloss black, then you'll have to paint the oil fill neck and the power steering resevoir gloss black, or it won't match. And we wouldn't want that, now would we? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

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.

TrilogyZ28: Chromed at South Bay Chrome in Santa Ana, CA.. cost was only $75 -- they are the same shop that does chrome for Jesse James's West Coast Choppers (of Monster Garage fame).. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I was really surprised how well the power steering hardlines polished up.. looks like tasty chrome ... when will my damn ZoopSeal get here?!?!? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

So you finally chromed that STB. I have been wondering when you were going to do that. Looks like your getting there, but waiting for parts is a PITA. Been there many of times I fell for ya.

BTW, Is n't it a pain trying to install stuff and you keep getting fingerprints and crap everywhere. Its like you cant touch nothing after awhile because everything gets to the point where it's way to clean. It drives me nuts after awhile.

Keep up the good work <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I think I love you. <img border="0" alt="[rainbow]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_rainbow.gif" />


Not really. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> But I do really like what you're doing to your car. Maybe I'll send you my STB.
