These are the wheels I will run all the way around. 4 inch up front with 12'S on the rear. I had a hard time finding a wheel that would represent my taste. http://static.summitracing.com/global/images/prod/large/wld-788-15202_w.jpg

Removing Entire Dash -...
Published (2009-12-21 00:04:00)
Well All the Dash is out and didn't have that much of an issues. The speed-o cable wasn't bad just split it in the engine bay and pulled through the fire wall (fuse box on the other hand, errrr). I did do one thing wrong though. I forgot to label all the wires and connections before I removed everything. Now I am having to back track and relabel the wires. It was a good thing that I did pull the dash, found more rust up around the...

Did you decide to go with a stock shifter? I know when I posted pics of mine for someone else you said you wanted to do the same kind of set-up. You putting stock gauges in it? The way I want mine is all stock appearing with more reliable Autometer gauges, the Pro-Stick in the stock console, and some new GTO seats but recovered in stock material.

I like the Eastwood Company's products myself. I used their Rust Encapsulator first then topped it off with their Extreme chassis black and it's held up great so far.

It is a site that has all wire diagrams for nearly all makes and models. They have trouble shooting charts and a bunch of other usefull tools on there. Vintage Air right there in San Antonio should have upgraded harness you can use.

its pretty strait forward, take all the bolts out and peel it off, the side one by the head lights are the hardest to get at! also it ca be tricky to get the new one fitting just perfect.

Use POR-15, it is very durable and maintains it's shine as well as being
fairly chip resistant.

Do you mean different than stock? If stock, get one of the service manuals,
with the electrical/vacuum supplement. This will show it all clearly.

You have 2 choices, my man, and both involve cutting out the rust. Option 1: replace with sheet metal from hardware store Option 2: replace with sheet metal from a donor car As far as cutting goes, yea a cut off wheel will work. It is highly recommended to cut 1-2 inches from your rusty spots.

Yea, its the vacuum, check to see if there loose. Also, check all the
electrical connections from the ac/heater controls.

I can't really comment on how well spray foam would help with sound deadening but I would suggest you look into a product like Dynamat, Fat mat, or similar for the purpose of reducing vibration, road noise & to help insulate. As for the sealant on the floors, this is commonly known as seam sealer & should be available at any place that sells auto body supplies. If the one that's on the car is ...

Its easy really - dont hold me to these numbers but - there are 4 screws up
in the def. vents and I think 3 bolts underneath - All the wires are plug
and play and they can only go back one way because of different connectors.
Youll have to also loosen the 2 nuts on the steering column bracket to
lower that a bit. Its not bad - you can do it.
