100% agree, the 750 is much better for the long rides. And the 500 for the short rides. Funny you have both also : ) Running hot, the first that comes into my mind (thinking about my cars), are ignition or bad cooling system.

Yes they are great, I like them too, many don't, it's the factory PO2 covers

Thanks mom

Thanks :- ) Many here, says, paint it, and I say NEVER, not all cars must be shiny :- ))

Also when EFI has taken control?

The real deal, a 69 L46 350/350 11:1 :- )

RIP Thomas, you did many bad things in your life. But I hope you have come to pace now, and I hope you will be forgiven, for the pain you have done for so many. www.wsmv.com/2023/07/24/bodycam-video-officers-shot-suspect-he-fatally-shot-woman-lebanon-police-reveal/

Thanks for the update Scott !!

​@@c3dk You must be Christian to forgive Mr. Sizemore. I too hope him to rest in peace. I am sorry for your loss to him though! Again, many blessings. 👽🐍

@@revscott58 He did many bad things, but I also think he did not have a easy life. But what I can do is to forgive, and I do. Yes I'm a Christian :- )

​@@c3dk❤& Blessings

It's a shame, why are there so many today. Why not make a honest job, to a fair price.

@@c3dk because they know they can get away with it. I havent had a good experience with an engine builder or machine shop in over 20 years. Im done hot rodding as a result. I run my business ethically and honestly. I would be in jail if i conducted my business like others do.

Yes I still own and drive it:- )

Thanks mom

Hi Matt, thanks for checking in. Perfect, I will add shims to the rear only. In the passenger side, it looks better, and I can see more shims in that side, compared to the driver side, I will say, also the double amount, as far as I rememeber. Thanks for the info regarding camber/castor, I'm looking forward playing with that, in the future :- ) Thanks, John

Hi, it's 15x8 rims, with 235-60-15 in front.

Yes this part of Greece is really amazing for sure, but no Opel to look at, when I come back in May-24 :- ( And yes, I agree with you "see, there goes that crazy Dane again, taking picture, let's hide the car, before he steal it" :- )) BTW Matt, I really love your my workshop, it looks so good, I'm sure will will enjoy it, for a long time. Have a great weekend in TX.

Yes for sure, Greece is really nice !! BTW super nice workshop you have now !!

Sure I will, it's so nice here in Greece :- )

Hi, nothing big, it is 2 1/4" Thrush exhaust silencer, but they sound very nice, I bought it here in Denmark, from Street parts.

@@c3dk thank you. Keep up the great content!

I'm just seeing, we have "the same car" :- ))

Hi Roy, Yes I still have it, it's a keeper for me, a dream car. I'm very happy to own it :- )

Thanks mom :- )

Yes, it's just great finding hidden treasures like this, but it's fine now :- )

Hi Bill, Thanks :- ) It's been fun to make, and yes that driver side foam was bad, so I did everything I could to make it strong again. Hell I almost used 1L of glue :- ) Foam and burlap just eat glue, I was looking for a ½L can, but could not find it, that was good, or I would have run out :- ) Making upholstery, and repair the foam, has taken some time. BR, John

Thanks Cliff :- )

Thanks :- ) Looking back, I would not have bought the upholstery for the rear seat, it would have been home made also :- )

Thnks Sir :- )

Hi Matt, it fine, it's not much, it easy made, any progress on the 68? Regards, John

They are a bit hard to find here, because "everybody" want's one, that is small, and not made in China. I don't know if the cheap China are any good, but a small made in EU, Japan or USA in my mind, is the best.

Some in the workshop are saying the same as you, do they blind you? My reply is, no not me, but I don’t stand and look direct down in them, if you do that, you will get blinded. There are some cases, where I turn them of, bit in most cases, they are perfect for me. And the cost of buying them, are low.

Yes, and it is super strong material for sure. I will add ½" padding under the carpet. I hope everything is ok in NY, spring is soon here, so we can go driving again :- )

Burlap = hessian Yes like a burlap sack. There will come padding under the capet.

Hi, I think you are right, drugs or alcohol got to him. and I'm sure, like you think, he was good at some point in his lift. I fell sorry for him. The 4k was for 2 set of heads (4 heads). Looking back, I should have bought AFR.

Hi, I will ask around here, but the $ is very high, so many don't buy anything in USA right now, many are only buying what they really need. They postpone until it is "normal" again......

@@c3dk ok 👍 thanks again

Thanks :- ) How is it going with your Chevelle?

@@c3dk winter time blues, a little work here and there.

@@rustedhorsepower5132 Same here, cold, a bit of snow, but soon spring is here :- )

@@c3dk im in texas, im happier in 100 degree weather. But you'd probably laugh at me calling mid 30s (Fahrenheit) cold, lol

@@rustedhorsepower5132 Texas, as I hear it, it's either cold or hot. We got snow today, but it's gone now, it's almost like spring here......I like that :- )

Hi Blue, nice to see you back working on cars :-) I will buy direct fit, I did that for both in the front, and I will do the same for dash harness. The harness for the rear is ok (I think:- ))

Yes it is a shame, that some just hack up a car like this. My best guess is, that is was done + 25 years ago. But never mind, I will fix it :- )

It's nice with a bit of progress :- ) I'm looking forward to the clutch, mater cylinder/booster and the steering column is in the car......

BTW how is it going with your 69 Chevelle?

@@c3dk repairing some oil leaks on the 350 motor. Just trying to get back to driving it, then we will look into upgrades.

Thanks Matt, did you have tine to make some progress on your Chevelle?

The car and the parts that came with the car, are left over parts from other Chevelles, or other cars for sure. The column is 28", and does have the factory color.

@@c3dk i can say that 69 chevelles share similar parts with trucks. Like their steering gear box, their windshield wiper motors. Their turn signal switches are very universal also, plug and play all the way up to early or late 90s (camaro and impala, maybe even trucks). The bulkhead connector to my knowledge is this same way also. But once you drop to 1968 , everythong changes.

Lol, everythong....lol, everything

Thanks for your advice :- ) I will use the old cluster, and buy new bulbs......

Hi, Happy New Year to you too :- ) Thanks, I will do as you say, thanks for the input :- ))

Ok :- )

100% agree, and the 69 is just the best year. Please see the last episode, with 69 factory side pipes, it's even more beautiful, even in primer......

:- ))

Thanks, yes I agree. But sometimes it does feel like 1 step forward, and 2 steps back :- )

Yes bit by bit :- )

@@c3dk assembling it can be one of the most rewarding experiences, right up until you drive it for the first time. Keep on wrenching!

@@BlueOvalRescue YES, and you have spend tons of money :- )

@@c3dk Yessir!! That seems to always be part of the deal, especially if you want a really nice ride. However, I would rather have a super nice classic car than a new one of the same price.

@@BlueOvalRescue Same here, I don't mid putting money into my classic cars.......

Hi, I'm going for the factory gauge setup, warning lights. I was thinking about going with RPM gauge, but maybe that will come later. I assume the extra wires, are easy to install, if I decide to go down that road. From the factory the car was a 307 auto, ac car, and nothing more, as far as I can see. Then at some point it god a 4 speed transmission (bracket for the Z bar has been welded into the car), and later back again to automatic transmission, and now 4 speed (M21) again :- ) The shifter is a Hurst shifter. Yes it's funny with the picture, if it´s from the 70´s, then the car was almost brand new :- ) Regards, John

@@c3dk Yes the wiring changes are not that bad. IIRC you have to add in a tach wire to the plug and a couple of the other wires move around depending if you are going to gauges or the lights. That's good n the shifter, I used to run one on my Muncie with a center console before I put in a TKO-600. You do need an offset mount for the handle, it does not come strait up but offsets the handle mount to the pass side about an 1" or so. I had to buy one to make mine work.

@@MattOverDrive Regarding the offset, that is the mount @ 1min. 55 sec right? Regarding the wire harness and gauges ec, I have to keep it a bit simpel. My 69Mustang Mach 1 needs new foam and seat cover, and carpet (I have all in stock), and I have to install my T5WC kit I bought for it, 1 year ago. And after, it will need some paint. My 69 Corvette Coupe will also need seat cover and foam (also in stock)+ a lot more, and paint. And I need to get my 73 Z28 RS ready for road inspection in the spring (not a big job) But this winter it's the Chevelle that will get some attention :- )

:- ) The car refuse to give up, and it don't want to drive, it want's to be a sleep, as it has been for many year's. But we do not agree on this, so I continue 😂

Hi Matt, I really don't know, I will measure tomorrow, when I'm in the workshop again. Regadring the steering wheel, well just another wish for x-mas now :- )

:- )) you are correct my friend :- ) It's a fun project, there is so much to do, the car really had a hard life. It's a shame, but it is what it is.....and I knew it was a big project. I'm sure much of this, was made long time ago, where a car like this, was a scarp car. Regarding the weldings, YES, they are really bad. And it funny, because the floors, must have been made by another, the welding are very good, all over. It would be funny, if the car, could tell from the past :- ) Have a great day in US.

Yes I think you are correct, the engine came to far back, but now it's ok :- )
