edekalil Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Put a brake master cylinder on my 72 510 did some bleeding and got some brake pedal. Dropped off my Holley carb to get rebuilt that way I can then move the Cuda out and move the 510's out to finish the brake work. Then plan to drop in a motor into the 72 510 in a month and get it back up and running. That way I will have two of my sedans up and driving. Quote Link to comment
Jesse C. Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Finally found the right alternator belt for the VG. Fired it up again and checked the charging system, and it works! Now to start doing the lights and turn signals!! All this is with the EZ Wire harness. Quote Link to comment

Jesse C. Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 It is a very basic wiring kit. The only figuring out part are the switches for the lights and turn signals. But, you can go with either a GM switch for the lights and the turn signals are easy to figure out once you think about it. Will take some pics of what I have done and when I figure out the switches.

Roz Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 New Swaybar bushings and endlinks, plus front control arm bushings. Unfortunately, I was sent the wrong tension rod bushings, so that didn't get finished. Next up, rear control arm bushings. Quote Link to comment

freekwonder Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Took out some useless wires And put on my other valve cover that I painted up with wrinkle paint and letters to match the fender. Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Cleaned out the car, took some rainy day pics, and received a few more parts boxes for the collection. Just a couple more and installation can commence. Quote Link to comment
Roz Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Got the rear control arm bushings swapped out. Just in case anybody is interested, Rockauto has 5 of the rubber control arm bushings left, manufacturers closeout @5 something each. I doubt they'll get anymore. Quote Link to comment

BRE510SSS Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Put some new wheels and tires on it. 15x8 +15 with 205/50/15 on the front and 225/50/15 on the rear. Quote Link to comment
danfiveten Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Finally got Art cleaned up, cleaned the engine bay to. Clean enough to eat off of. Also got my SSS badge put on purple. Put it where the stock 510 badge normally goes. Aparently the stock color under there is the baby shit tan...just majorly faded on the hood, so i should be able to strip the paint off the rest of the car and have a major patina look before she goes into primer. Blues engine bay all cleaned up. Quote Link to comment
67_1600 Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 Got my new cap installed and decided on what to do with my wheels (Roadster wheels painted 'graphite', 620 caps and smaller stainless trim rings). When and if I ever find a 4th wheel, I'll get the powder coated as close as possible to the color I have now. 1 Quote Link to comment
07FlyingWagon Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Today we pulled the broken 5spd out and swapped the original 4 spd back in so she could move under her own power :-) also prepped the car to accept the R160 LSD I found :-) need to start a build thread with all the iPhone pictures I have lol Quote Link to comment

dr.feltersnatch Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 pulled the motor so i can throw in a new clutch. while its out i am going to paint the engine bay, clean up some wiring, paint the block, redo a bunch of gaskets and fab a steering box brace. hardest part will be cleaning the old grime out of the engine bay. its inside and i cant take it out to use the hose. i did use degreaser and a hose before i pulled it in but its still nasty. lots of rags and lots of elbow grease!
