Jim,

Did you source new rockers or refurbish?

The work is fantastic.

I found a decent set that needed a little bit of work. Kent did a bit of metalergic magic and revived them. All the parts shown were in various stages of disrepair, especially the valances. One was really bad. Kent beat them all back into shape, and re-painted them. He also lightly textured the inside of all the parts. They look real nice.

Here is a picture of the seat rail and early seat adjustment lever. Notice how the lever is straight with no bend to it like the later levers. It certainly did not look like this before. It matched the rest of the car, meaning it was really rough. More mundane pictures to follow. JimAttached Image

The CV joint were about $250.00 per side. I thought that was a decent price, considering mine were shot.

The gauges have been in, but I wanted to post a picture. These were done through North Hollywood Speedo. At that time it ran $936.00 for all three. I just recently sent out another speedo and it was over $700.00. I think they've realized there aren't many others doing this service. I can only think of two other places. They're good, but pricey.Attached Image

I would have redone your speedometer for $500. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

I finished putting the heater hoses and hose clamps in today. Along with the washer bottle. I ran the lines for the pump, but I'm going to need to spend some time to get them hooked up to the washer nozzles on the cowling. For future reference to those running these lines, run them before you snap the nozzles into place. Another lesson learned. If I ever do my other six, I have learned some invaluable lessons. Many of them cost me a lot of time and money. Oh well the adventure continues. JimAttached Image Attached Image

I checked my factory manuals and it shows the overflow hose for the master cylinder reservoir going in a clockwise direction. Many of the ones I have seen in person travel around the reservoir in a counter clockwise fashion. It's not that big of a thing, but I'm trying to stay original with a few exceptions. I have also seen only one set of hose clamps near the bottom of the hoses from the reservoir and others with hose clamps at top and bottom. I think it looks better having two sets, and in my twisted thinking it looks better and makes sense. Stay tuned, Jim.

Some other interesting things that I have found, there is an early reservoir cap and a late reservoir cap. The later one has a smal flange at the bottom and the early one does not. Also, there is a set of early front hood springs and a late set of front hood springs. The early ones have a slight bend near the curved portion of the springs and the late ones are straight. Neither set is easy to get off, but the early ones are a little easier. Another time consuming lesson learned.

Hey Bruce. I have seen them both ways. It must be some type of German bi-sexual thing.

Coming soon to a computer near you, the new updated and correct installation of the transmission mounts. Thanks to Andy and Kent.

I think you're right. He served under Jimmy Cooter if I remember correctly. Maybe I misremembered. I'm not sure.
