After you click on the upper search option, a drop down box appears. At the bottom of this box is a radio button marked "Advanced …

Nice work...I'm betting that dash cap will last a VERY long time too.

Finished my headers today. Now I need to get them ceramic coated. These are 1 3/4 tube and 3 1/2 collectors with 3/8 flanges.

Those look great, the whole project is sweet. Where did you get the polycarbonate for the gauges?

I have progressed somewhat lately. I found enough money to get the fuel injection on the car so no carb. I bought a FAST EZ-EFI Retrofit systrem and have the manifold pretty much done. I was also able to make up an accelerator cable using Camaro and Porsche parts.

I have the body mostly assembled to start bodywork.

I also gut lucky and found a pair of very nice early 923 Euro front turn signal lenses that are correct for a GT/GTS.

I got the headers ceramic coated and on the car.

I finished installing the fuel filler and all of the hoses. I needed a new rubber boot for the body to filler neck and was able to get one from Germany through Pelican Parts. I need ign. wires, oil cooler lines and install the body wiring harness and I can fire it up.

LT1 intake manifold on pre 1986 heads, that looks quite nice. I guess that's only possible because it's a setup from FAST EZ-EFI.

It runs..... Started it this afternoon. The sound quality isn't very good as I took this with my GE digital camera. It's probably time to get a real digital video recorder. In person with open headers it sounds like a pro-stock. This is the first time this car has had a running engine in almost 15 years.

I've accomplished a bit lately.

It is on the ground for the first time. I found that i will need to adjust the rear height.

Moved it out of the garage on it's own power!

I didn't take it for a test drive because I needed to adjust the hydraulic T/O bearing. The clutch was grabbing at the floor. Now that that is fixed it has been reining here every day.
