She sure was! She was hoping to have it ready for the Natz, but the mechanic didn't believe it to be so? We'll see?

Everything! Top to bottom. He pre-oiled the pump and claimed it showed 70#'s pressure with just a drill spinning it! New bearings, rings, pistons, etc. an Edlebrock performer manifold with a holley, 500 I believe? Should run very strong!

Our mechanic called to say the radiator we gave him was only a 2 core? I did not catch that? You have a V-8 in yours don't you? If so, what size rad did you go with?
Thanks!

I got the dog house off of the A-100 and want to insulate it correctly? Anyone have some sound advice on this?

When ever I gather up the correct insulation and get the dents pounded out and painted.

Bring them to the Natz, that will be fine! I'm sure the mechanic is going to have it for a while? I just wanted to get things ready for when it came time for re-install.
Thanks Dix, I sure will owe you one!

A lot of these guys have been using Dyno-mat that has a self stick on the back but i did mine before any one used it. i cant say how well it will work. some guys are saying a roofing product is the same thing only 1/2 the price (Ice and water sheild) .again i don't know. what i used was HVAC heating duct wrap

I bought a roll of some shiny stuff at a local swap meet a few years back, I believe it was in Canfield? I was originally going to do my DH, but then Jewels' was in need of it, thus the switch. LOL The stuff I got looks more like sound deadening, and might not be correct for a heated area as it looks as though it has plastic & air bubbles in it???
