Love the color, love the patina!  Great build!!  :thumbup:

[skyblue]

Thanks yenpit. It's been fun.

I never had a set of the "snowflake" wheels, but they look cool, especially with the dark green & gold!  I passed up a set at one of our local yards a few weeks ago on a Z-car, prolly should have bought 'em............. :sleep:

[07FlyingWagon]

Just curious where you found that Trans Cross member ?? Looks pretty sweet!

 

I had the dog leg in my 510 when I bought it, and all the PO did was flip the original 4 spd x-member and place spacers between the it and the mount holes, so I am very curious how the x-member that you bought works :-)

 

Awesome car by the way!  I have the same rust spots around my tail lights lol, but no where near as nice of a paint job on mine :rofl:

I like them cause they look period correct, even though they're actually 10 years difference. I was gonna get them repainted in a burnt bronze, but when I put them on I fell in love with the gold. Too bad you passed. They're getting harder to find.

I got the x-member on eBay actually. I believe the company is called experimental engineering. $90 shipped. Check out triple240z's thread if you want to see it installed. He did the 5 speed swap and used one on his 510.

 

Thanks I love my 510. I got pretty lucky when I found it. Do you have a build thread for yours?

Okay cool! Ill start watching the fleaBay for one ;-)

 

And yes I started a build under "Marty's 70 4dr..."

 

I really should throw the link in my sig line lol

[skyblue]

Found your thread. Great find. Did you get it from James?

[skyblue]

small issue the other day, found a puddle of ATF under my car. the culprit was my cooling lines had sprung a leak.

 

PO cut the line and put a hose in place. he did a poor job of cutting the line.

 

under the knife

 

 

I patched it up and it turned out it was the other line leaking that had a pin sized hole from rubbing against a nearby bracket. so i cut that one, correctly, and stuck a hose on it. leaked fixed, but now the tranny slips when cold. i guess its time to get cracking on the 5 speed swap. i need a flywheel and cover for a dogleg tranny. anyone have one laying around they want to sell me?

[Ranman72]

I have a stock flywheel its rusty and needs surfacing 10 dollars

[07FlyingWagon]

Nope haha but who's James? And does he have a 4dr for sale in the same color??! ;-) ;-) :-)

 

And in Nor-Cal???? ;-) maybe?

[Ranman72]

[Busta Nut]

You will find out who James is real quick here......he's called The 510 Keeper for a reason.....

 

......and he's a hop, skip, and a jump from ya.

[skyblue]

not unless there is a fun run coming up

[skyblue]

Thanks!

Sweet - hopefully at the Sacto meet on First Fridays. I know you and SkyBlue are in the Bay Area, but do you get over this way for any of the meets?

 

(Totally trying not to Thread Jack btw!!! ;) )

[Busta Nut]

We've talked about going but haven't yet.....we usually work Fridays and to head there after work on a Friday would probably be nightmarish traffic-wise.....

 

 

........that's not a thread jack......you obviously haven't had jrock on your thread yet :rofl:

[skyblue]

we got to as far as vacaville once. it was kinda lame and haven't been up north since, unless you count canby lol. but yea like triple said, it would be pretty late by the time we would make it out there.

 

fun runs are another story tho. i know there's some up there every now and then.

[Ranman72]

we have fun runs every month and always on saturdays

Your already done by more than a few days but when i splice tubing with hose i use the double flare tool to make a tit at the end so the clamp can never just slide off...  Not a full double flare just the first jig that makes a bubble, not sure if i'm over thinking it in the worrying dept or not.

[Busta Nut]

^^Maybe....I can't imagine that the tranny puts that much pressure to blow the clamp off......but anythings possible.

I thought about doing something like that. But it was taking too long as it was so I didn't. Hopefully It's ok.
