63stick

Can you post where you got the valley pan and valve covers?

It certainly is, looks like a factory install. Thank You

Can an R2 be retrofitted with A/C

Thank you, I have a couple of their dealers close by i see.

I was thinking the same thing, Lucky You

I'm thinking I want it heard before it's seen. How far before is the question I think. It's going to sit at my beach house and only really use it to go to some of the waterfront restaurants where all the muscle/classic cars go to show off/ be noticed.

Might be desirable. R2 stick or auto with Deluxe red, looks like PW also. Don't think many of them around

There are two blowers, just the blower, not even the front pulley on Ebay for $2,100 ea. Both chromed.

If it's been sitting outside for 30 years, I think you will have bigger problems and other costs than the blower setup.

I have a full stainless exhaust system minus the mufflers for my 63 R1. I bought the system from Don Simmons back in 1990. Can't remember if he had the name Silvertone back then. At the time he only had one muffler and wasn't going to be getting anymore. Needless to say, I never put the system on the car, until now that I'm putting it back together. Somewhere along the way he got a new manufacturer. Any recommendations on mufflers. Anybody use Silvertone mufflers. He has 3 different ones.

Yah, my hose is still pliable. Not like it's brittle. Think I'll use it as is.

How considerate of them

My interior is out and there is No access to the side of the pillar

The cover was off when I started this project. I must have removed it and put in in a bin in 1990. Hopefully I get my ok to put up my garage from the town tomorrow. Then I can start laying things out.

what attaches to the frame bracket on the auto trans version

The rubber section of the vent tube that goes up into the body and back out, is that just looped up in there or fastened. It doesn't seem to be loose in there. I'm sure it's hard and I don't want to break it off in there.

I don't know, but does an auto have the clutch linkage frame mount already on the frame.

If your car is nice and original/ stock, Why butcher it. Look for an abortion to beat. Only so many original cars out there. Just sayin

Thanks guy, Thanks for responding. What screw would go into it, for what.

I was able to secure the complete interior dash wiring harness up and out of the way. Also secured the engine compartment harness so it doesn't make contact with anything, during painting. Did they cut in the trunk, hood, and door jams before parts were put on and complete body was shot.

When i first started this project, I came across a small wood block on rear deck by fuel filler tunnel. About 1 1/2" square, hole in middle about 3/8 - 1/2' thick. I saved it for some reason, and recently when I removed the padded sections under the sun visors, I came across the same blocks, spacers for the visors to anchor through. So where does the one I found on the rear deck go. Only thing off when I started in the rear was the vinyl piece over the fuel tunnel, as a matter of fact that vinyl piece was not there. Believe it's in a bin, hopefully.

Is there an exterior vent in the tank area. The vent loop that goes up into the body, does that vent outside the car?

It sure does. What material did you have it shot in?

Just found it.

I will have to call the museum, nothing comes up in their store.
