Re: 69 2000 Derustoration
I picked up 4 of these for $100. I stripped and polished this one a little bit. Plus they need new tires. But nice huh?

I think I have a st of those, at least they could probably look like those with a lot of polishing.

Re: 69 2000 Derustoration
The tires that the rims came with are a bit big. 215/60/r14. I will probably switch to 185/65/r14 towards the end of the build. Plus I hope the new Gr-2 shocks settle down a little bit. they seem a bit tall.
I am considering either an Odyssey extreme battery or a Braille 11 pound battery at this point. I will likely keep it in the engine bay as it will be so small it can have it's own zip code away from the heat on the passenger side. I had the oil pressure hose made for only $22 at a hose shop even though they had to use a couple adapters to get the fittings to work. Added a new starter and a rebuilt GM 62 amp alternator. I am planning on heated seats and a decent stereo. I am waiting on a reground camshaft and rocker arms that I just ordered. I may be able to test fire it before the 1st of the year.

Re: 69 2000 Derustoration
That does sit pretty high for just being a shock. Make sure the body isnt hung up on something.
Nice work Kman!
One more observation in the engine bay. Looks like the oil pressure gauge hard line is prerouted in through the choke cable hole.
Top hole (plugged) to the right in the pic is where the hard line routes into the interior.

I love the slotted mags! They are hard to find in the right offset for the Roadsters. Here are the last set I had, boy they polished up nicely!!

Re: 69 2000 Derustoration
Reground camshaft and rocker arms from Rallye installed and gaped cold.
The original heater valve was frozen stiff. I got it apart but and got it working but when I put i back together I cracked the cover. I'm using this aftermarket one. I had to reroute the line, but it works smoothly.
The plastic on the steering wheel was badly cracked. I could have patched it up with fancy epoxy but I decided to class it up a bit. I still need to paint the spokes and clearcoat the whole thing. I plan on reusing the plastic inserts. Not sure about the horn pad yet.

Re: 69 2000 Derustoration
Finally got around to putting in the oil flow reducing screw under the lower timing tensioner that I forgot. It wasn't as hard as I thought. Just remove the 2 front studs out of the head so you don't have to take the head off and lower the oil pan. Let this be a warning
Been doing a modification on the dash. It is in for a test fit. I have to redo most of the wiring as the dash harness burnt up.
