I've been pricing around partial paint work, just the trunk lid and the body below the back window, and then front header panel. I basically want to remove the Z/28 stripes on the car. I think I might leave the hood and cowl panel black but I'm open to see what a paint pro says. I think I could be $1500 in.

A wrap, I've been quoted a buddy deal of $3500 by a great guy in the area who is well known. If I did a wrap it would be hmmm eye catching.

Just want to say I'm really happy I avoided having race-car type switch panels, the Holley does 95% of everything I need and I don't really need any buttons to run the fan or to start the car.

 

I'm sure you know paint can be a pandoras box.
My buddy bought a 70 Nova that was very clean, went to get it painted and found severe damage in the passenger quarter panel and trunk panel after some sanding.
What started out as a $5,000 paint job turned into $15,000 worth of body work and then a paint job.

 

Yeah been there. I'd just do a sand and repaint of the parts I mentioned if I go this route.

I have some wild wrap ideas but I have other changes to make that would make the car safer, faster and lighter.

So I'll buy a $1200 front steer rack before I spend money on a wrap.

 

I plan to run Oct 11th at GLD at a rental, $75 just show up.

Did some checking on nuts/bolts up front (those hot side v-bands always a little looser).

I swapped on the new Shifnoid bottle regulator, set it to 100 psi. I moved the bottle from behind the passenger seat on the main hoop, I want to see if I like it up front more. I will get my back up bottle filled too.

Poked around in my Holley, my god I suck on navigating the various sections.

 

Was just looking at one of my logs with my buddy Kevin. My used MW Converter is doing pretty well, 1100 ish drop on the shifts, flashed pretty good too. He noticed that boost dropped in at one point in the run and he's so expert lol we looked at TPS... I lifted a little I don't even remember doing that.

What's very interesting is only made 18 lbs never made 22. So I'll make an adjustment on that tomorrow, more learning for me.

 

So what you're saying is you chicken footed it lol.

 

It was a micro lift but yes.
