Was not aware of the rarity of the air cleaner. Did not think it was anything special , picked it up off eBay Thanks for the info ! Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Hey Cable Guy, this are the only two pictures Ive found on my Battery cable. Use your reading glasses
That same air cleaner lid with the oval snorkel was used on several GM makes up through the mid-'60s. I have one that was OEM issue on all '64 GTO 4-barrel 389 engines, it still has the factory chrome plating. Also have one that looks identical to the chromed one (painted shiny factory black enamel) that came on a '67 LeMans 326 2-barrel, it looks the same as the one that came on my '64 326 LeMans. They're not a rare '59-'61 only piece, there's plenty of them still out there to be found. What's rare is finding one that doesn't have the end of the snorkel dinged all to hell.
Cool, thanks for the info. Mine needs a good soak in vinegar or molasses and some primer Thanks again Mike
Finally posting some progress again A big accomplishment for me, the chassis is completely finished , body painted underneath and inside and today the body was mounted !
Incredible progress, you've been down a very long road and it must feel great to reach this milestone. Congrats for job well done!
Looking really good......but probably not going to see it at the "Iron Invasion" on October 3rd though.....Right?
Thanks Guys! Iron invasion , hmmm probably not Have to agree looks better , man that was a long trip! Long road getting to this point Had to go out to the garage and just look at it tonight
Mike: Hopefully you've heard this from others but you have done an amazing!!!! job building the 5 window. Most people wouldn't believe it if they saw what you started with. Its good to see you so close to being able to drive it. Have fun, be careful and be sure to take some pics. Tim
Way to go Mike,it looks great . Thats a huge step forward Don't worry about the long time it takes, if you get it done within 2 years from now you'll still be faster then me !!!!!
Looking great! 5 years? That's the speed of light compared to me. I started my 64 Pontiac in 1984.....it's still not done.
Thanks for the encouragement everyone Having the opportunity to make friends and share through this community has been as much fun as the build !
Haven't posted in quite awhile The car is a driver! Drove it for the first time a few weeks ago Working out the bugs... Primarily Exhaust clearance issues caused by a change in rear springs These pictures are from this afternoon
Excited and nervous , no matter how much care you take in building one of these seems something isn't quite right in the first few excursions Have a Strange noise coming from the rearend this afternoon under acceleration ..
