| Post subject: | $5 E-Bay purchase and a lil' 'elbow grease'....! |
I won this 2bbl air cleaner on E-Bay for $5...!  it was pretty rusty, but not too pitted- I hit it with a few wire brush drill attachments, gave it a couple of coats of Dupli-Color Semi-gloss Black 500 deg. Engine paint, and added a few decals...  with the weather in the single digits, I've been limited to indoor bench work!

Thanks, and good luck with your mods- I've been picking up all the parts I'll need a lil' bit at a time:  I also, picked up a '71 Factory Shop Manual on CD for $30, and have been selectively printing the /6 specific pages and compiling into a binder... The last missing link that I'm still putting together is the front disc brake setup- and waiting on the spring thaw! |

| Post subject: | SBP Disc brake conversion |
After much debate over which route to go- (SSB, Wilwood, boneyard scavenging etc.) I finally went with the Scarebird adaptor kit... these allow you to keep the SBP, original UCA's etc... (However, they do use Chevy rotors / calipers etc. which I know is pure blasphemy for some!) I'm very happy with them, they make an incredible difference  I also found a nice set of 14" SBP Rallye rims up near Hatford, CT (a mere 260 ml. roundtrip for me)  This project started out 11 mos. ago as a B'day Gift for my daughter, with a promise to be finished for her 17th this August... It's gonna be tuff handing this beauty over, I've grown quite attached to her! |

two more pics; "before": the way I received her last July...  "after": her current status:  thanks again to all the members of this site who have shared a wealth of info... The search feature / archives on this site, coupled with my trusty FSM (thanks SSD) have made this resto a real pleasure... |
