We've been using Royal Purple Synthetic Oil around here for years... now they've created an oil filter that matches the performance of their synthetic oil.
Steve Do you have any upper control arms up there with threaded shafts? The ones that came with the car require the bolt to hold the old bushing. I want to put the Global West bushings in but the ones I want to use require the threaded shafts. I'm gonna check some of our favorite online stores to find a deal, but if you already have them, maybe that is the better plan. Thanks!
Steering Gear Box Steve The box we took off the car was wrapped with paper towels and zip ties and we know nothing about it, sooooo if we got a new one, would you want a quick, standard or slow ratio box?
Steve Glass questions: I recall you wanting the glass to have a tint to it, the tint that is between the glass, not on the inside surface right? Have you had a chance to find the original glass for the car? Is it tinted already, what color? Will it match the new flush glass? Or, do you want all new side glass as well? Have you had a chance to look at the window tracks and rollers and parts? Classic has an amazing amount of the window and track parts available if we need something, hopefully they will have it.
Steve I think I remember some kind of an antenna in the trailer. But I'm not certain, do you recall? Do you want to use that one? I thought it mounted to the glass? Is that right? If you don't want that one, and you want one to be mounted on the car, do you want a power antenna or the factory original? I found an antenna called the Smart Antenna Classic Industries Part No. SA20. I like it, do you? Also, we talked a little about the stereo, I'd prefer you pick the one you like and ship it to us. Stereos are very much about the user and we want you to pick one you are most comfortable with and like the looks of. If you find a kit including speakers even better!
Regarding the Trunk Mat Classic has a molded mat but it only comes in Black/Aqua Houndstooth pattern. They also carry Vinyl Trunk mats in grey/white and aqua/black. They also have a trunk carpet available in black. Any preference?
Sub Frame Connectors??? Do we have those, I don't recall seeing them with the other parts, or have the already been ordered? If they are weld in, I'd like to have them before we paint the underside of the car next week. I vote no pieces that look like swing set parts should be on this totally cool looking car.
Alright, now I need you to make another executive decision. Most parts are reproduction, but some have a GM version which in most cases is more expensive. Do you want me to consistently order GM when that option is available, or all repro? Also, can you take a look at the Marquez Design things available for your car. I think some of the pieces look nice but again, they are more expensive than the factory standard and they look different too. Are you going for factory original everything, or is there a little cool factor going on too? When I think of Routy, I don't see chrome (since we want to flush mount the glass) and I like it that way, are you sure you want the factory sill plates since they are shiny, but they are considered inside the car, so maybe its fine. I just want to have a consistent look throughout.
Steve I'm at the office, the old speedocable is at the shop, do you know the length of the speedo cable? 62" or 71" or they have a Ram Air M40 lower 21" without cruise. Do you know what would be the correct one?
