  1. There have been several in the past who very pointedly used the general section in order to create hype around a car when they go to sell/flip it.  A slick marketing strategy, but not much actual enthusiast intent.

     

    Perhaps changing the name from “Project Blog - archive” to “Project Build Threads” given the section is still active and setup the same as the general thread style.

  2. The Pierce downdraft manifold was designed as a replacement for the early single barrel oem manifold.  In line with that, it is designed with provision on the bottom to swap over the lower coolant passage plate from that stock single barrel manifold.

     

    Therefore, find that bottom plate from the early stock single barrel manifold and you’re in business.

    Great looking car. You can also just do a build thread in this forum. Classic option. 


    No.  That’s not the intent of this general section, posting directly to here comes across as a bit grasping for attention.  As mentioned the blog archive section would be more in line if you wanted the classic forum experience.

     

    I agree with not finding the “new” blog section appealing, but it’s certainly more structured.  The old style makes engagement less organized but more interactive.

     

    Generally speaking, interactions are less on any personal project blog when compared to community-type threads.

  4. Soooo…I feel like this is a reunion now. 
     

    This is a really good deal.  Hawk pads and including the longer e-brake cables make it even better.  I’d be picking these up as backups if I didn’t have other more urgent expenditures.

     

    Would be leery of selling anything to Mr. Jenkins though.

  8. There is/was factory sound deadening on the outer skin.  It was one piece placed in a *edit* RECTANGLE orientation on a chunk of the cars I’ve seen.

     

    as for the inner panel, sure you can add some there.  I did the recessed portions so as to not make it difficult to install the door panels over top.

     

    *edit* Traced the shapes, then transferred to the sound deadening material (I like Hushmat, as it doesn't have as foul of a smell as some of the china-sourced cheaper amazon options).
