it's getting there, looking good

 

Are they made for different cars? Or is it a universal thing?

*edit* Just looked it up, it is not universal, I'll have to look around for them. Project is looking great too btw. Keep it up, I'm hoping to get some things in order with mine today, and hopefully spend some weeknights sandblasting. I am going to try to finish my rims tonight and get the car back on the wheels again.

 

God I can't wait to be sitting on wheels. The sad thing is I can't afford new ones until next tax season. I guess I'll just put the turbines on it.

 

I plan on using my stock z28 five spokes for now.

 

Welds??? Moroso are just bent from one piece of steel and have no welds. Any idea what brand those are that have welds? The Morosos are $23 ea. (engine side) at Summit. I just kept the factory steel frame side.

 

Still using that rubber bushing or whatever on the frame side? I am wanting solid, but it may happen for me after I put my final engine in.

 

The lowers are welded where the tube for the bolt is. Mine are Moroso. I've seen three of them crackes. Mine have a little bit of a stress crack from when they were stamped. Thats why there in primer and not gold chromate. I had a dude a work through a little tig weld on the crack. That destoyed the finish and I bead blasted them after that.

 

There's no rubber bushing on the frame of early 2nd gens. The frame mounts are all steel.

 

Wow, nice work with the clutch. That template must've been a godsend. I'm gonna do a four speed swapwhen my engine comes back from the machine shop. I figure that while I've got everything out of the car, I might as well. Any tips or pitfalls I should look out for?

 

Not really It was straight forward. The only snag I had was not having the self-threading bolts, they wer easy to come by. I'll do the pedals the next time I'm out there. I still have to get the hump from the j-yard. I need to get out there before the bees get out of control.
