@jfa.series1 Fuel rail appearance?

Yeah, I agree, won't be signing up for Instagram!

When I look at it, the curve is too abrupt on Ryan's car. So if you make the area nicely curved it should distribute the metal out allowing the vertical sides. The way it's supposed to be, That's at least how it looks. I think some dolly work would move it but you could easily stretch the metal. Shrinking might help but you will have to keep your shrink areas very close to each other to prevent other problems. I think the best idea is to find some schedule 40 pipe that is close to the right diameter. Use it as you dolly to reshape the area

Yeah, my thought was welded chambers and grind to shape

Provide some pictures

It's 20k already 6 days to go. It might make reserve...

I couldn't find him with Google. Do you have a link or better contact info?

I believe that is the best argument for SS bumpers. Humid or salty environment. For me I could probably do either and they would last the rest of my life...

I think if I had my option I would go with hard chrome. I have the SS vietnam bumpers but they haven't been installed yet, but the SS is soft and damages easily. I believe the hard chrome would hold up better

Is that actually Richard Kiel? The video must be a little older. He died in 2014.

Why would you strip to bare metal? I am not sure it's always the best course of action...

The only problem with use Webers is you can really mess up the body and small ports if you crank the idle screws down... Hard to know until you try to tune them or if the screw tip shows in the throttle bore

I can't think of a need to remove it. If you need to peel it slightly at the glass edges for masking, so be it. If it tears some there it will be unnoticeable under the weatherstripping

Yes level

Chromabase is good base coat

That looks like a clutch disc that wasn't centered. They couldn't get the tranny to mate up so they used a bolt to pull it together. The damaged probably didn't affect anything

Stock EFI is not very tolerant of changes!

Put it in the resource section

I might have to keep a car like that in the family if its shared so much history. Insure it properly and drive it. You'll have more opportunities soon...

I think the wheels should have graphite centers If you do a proper air dam like a couple of your pictures then silver If you do a BRE spook the graphite is ok The spoiler is silver if the airdam is; graphite if the spook is graphite

Try not to create multiple threads. It becomes confusing

I have seen rare cases on other vehicles where they are a ?/32nd size. I think it was done to make them smaller for the desired location. I have enough SAE wrenches to come up with something that fits

Thanks for your service!

He's got flat tops on the first one!

Would a Wide band help in determining this? It seems if you can get the idle leaned up properly the Hcarb output would go down
