I see the pics! One vote for tossing the heat holder-inner. Was out for a rip-snort in the '69 for awhile so I'm late to the victory party.

Re: plastikote paint?? any good or what...
what i dont like about them clamps are is they dent the pipes and make them hard to get apart and back together later on.

Re: plastikote paint?? any good or what...
yea i know. ive ran through this forum up and down before i decided what set to grab because i couldnt get a power log. my buddy had a set of them and they looked to be pretty decent so i went and bought them. the one thing thats i liked about them is that the slip joints were so tight that i barely had to tighten down the clamps. i imagine when i take them off to put on the L67 heads that ill have to get the other clamps but i might be able to get away with using some rtv if the slip joints are still really tight.

Re: plastikote paint?? any good or what...
my fenders that are getting painted on Monday.
Brackets i made for the side skirts. they gonna work real good and came out great!!
ALong with stuff still needing to install.....
zzp fuel filter
zzp oil pan gasket- which isnt going on untill top swap
my tablet along with bluetooth obdII for torque pro app- not getting aeroforce just gonna use this. putting wideband and trans temp gauge in pod.
i have photos of the brakes i bought and suspension i just have to find them.
still have a ton of work to do to the underbody but i planned on removing what rust that i have under there and spraying the underbody with rubber undercoat. i did a test spot underneath and sprayed my wheelwells with the stuff and it seems to hold up pretty good. did it when i basicly bought the car 7 months ago and it still looks just as good as the day i did it

So i had today and tommorow off from work so its been a long day of painting as well as into tommorow. had to fit in shopping for food and picking the kids up from schol to i had to time everything so i could get **** put away, but make it so i can drap everything back out again. Its been alot of extra work but we live in a 3 story apartment complex so im lucky that the owners even let me do this here. They wont even let people change tires in the parking lot, but being that the main owner is a pontiac enthusiast he lets me do anything i want :th_winking:
Todays body painting progress.....

Front fenders and door panels. tommorow the fenders and door panels will get cleaned up and ready for clear coat. they came out great as well...
Gonna be another busy day tommorow so ill update again with that progress as well
