my turn for a 20B... finally...

lt1_fd3s · 02-08-2015, 09:39 PM

so, i picked up the car this weekend... and threw some body parts on it to test fit. looks like I need to play with the front support a little, might be bent down a little bit... not completely sure. The roller does need some body work and repair on the rear quarter panel... so just have to talk to the body guy when the time comes...

I got the roller from a good friend (and parts seller) Jim (tomsn16) in Cleveland TN... if he has a part you need, do not hesitate to do business with him. Every time I've gotten parts, communication is great, quality is spot on and price is fair. He's a great seller!!!

I also was able to bolt on my side-mount alt bracket. hopefully get the engine dressed up a little more this week when some I have some block-off plates and few gaskets show up.

Main goals for me right now are to finish up dressing the engine, get my header ceramic coated, depower the steering rack, and hopefully having the drive train set in the car within the month. I hope for good weather this week so I can get the 4.30 diff installed and axles.

My RE-A AW7 wheels showed up, I will eventually need to get them rebarrelled so they are wider.

now for a little colorfulness...

Total of 8 pics added to the album... I plan to get some more pics over the week as I continue to dress up the engine.

And just some notes for later... the oil port on the front cover of the 20B is an M16 (like the FC) NOT M18 like the FD front cover.

Anxious to follow the build.....lots of pics please.

I believe Jim is Carter's dad!

Carter rebuilt the framerail on the Cosmo from scratch, in one night.

Good people!!!!
