Lou Earle Posted August 12, 2008 Report Posted August 12, 2008 Had the local sign shop make some vinyl inserts for the cheap plastic hubcaps. Then spent 350 to have windows tinted. I generally do not like tint on old cars but on this one it really improved the look- slightly bad boy look- and will help some with the ac in the car. This was a bit of a wreck - mechanically when I go it- nova clip 350 / 350 steering wheel crooked in car etc. Now it is on verge of being good daily driver- installed 700 r4 overdrive(18-22mpg depending on 60 or 75mph - has 2 brl carb) Still working on A/C- then needs booster on brakes but getting really good to drive daily. before: After: Quote
steveplym Posted August 12, 2008 Report Posted August 12, 2008 Lookin' good Lou. That a/c is a must for this time of the year. Hope you get it working soon. Must be really nice to drive with that 700R4 and 350. Very nice. Quote
Lou Earle Posted August 12, 2008 Author Report Posted August 12, 2008 It is nice- 60 mph about 1400 rpm 70 mph- 1800 rpm 2.97 rear end Quote
Howard Tarnoff Posted August 13, 2008 Report Posted August 13, 2008 What was the tinting process, film? Any bubbles? Quote
Lou Earle Posted August 13, 2008 Author Report Posted August 13, 2008 was film and he did a great job no flaws at all Quote
