it's just not as dark... not much of a % of black in it to begin with...
Paint tech
yeah, that's exactly what I put on my bud's 70 ragtop fake GTO.. it's soooo much brighter *coughobnoxouslyloudbadarsecough*
so tonight I got the windshield out, the hood and fenders off and one door completely gutted. still have the passenger door and the rear window
The windshield was an absolute PITA. It fought me the whole way and took most of the night. It was sealed with this hard rubber cement crap. It was already cracked and I gave up not trying to crack it any more after about 2 seconds. I ended up using my sawzall and sawing the window out. Then went back with a gasket scraper and a hammer and chiseled the entire window frame clean.
The doors are getting halfed for certain

What are you doing for a windshield then?
Hi-jack
This is a sweet build
I had an s10 I was going to do a truggy build on when it blew...
Ended up having to sell the s10 cause it wouldn't die.
I really like the orange
I may have missed it, but what are the engine specs?

I think I'm gonna half the doors and just put the hood back on after I cut it down
Put fenders back on
Sot today I got the serpentine setup on except for the power steering. two hick ups. Panhard bar was hitting the crank pulley so ended up bending it about 4 degrees in the middle. which will be fine. And the engine cage was hitting the alternator. so out came the torch and the BFH. beat a dent in the cage to clear the alternator and got the engine cage on. Ill throw some pics up when I'm done eating.
Tonight Im gonna read up on the power steering pump mod and do that tomorrow.

Be careful, I've blown stuff up from doing that and going too far. It can certainly be done but there is a line.
so should I leave it stock?
yes
put it in get it working stock, then if you need more go from there.
Or call Scott my neighbor and talk to him about modding the pumps and the 7 he went through trying to get it right.

Agreed I have had stock pumps with zero mods well outlast modded ones. Horton has had the same stock replacement pump for 3 or 4 years now. Works just fine
Good to hear this
I've only heard bad things about leaving the pump stock, but have always questioned that theory.
I'll be watching to see which route you go
As long as you keep the pump and fluid cool a stock pump is fine.
I do have a power steering cooler that is larger than most peoples transmission coolers
Transmission cooler is the larger one power steering cooler is the smaller one
