Aurora 4.0l / Izuzu 5 speed swap into 88 coupe (Page 66/102) cptsnoopy MAR 19, 10:06 PM Thanks guys! Still kicking but now that the weather is perfect for doing some more body work, I am buried in school for another few weeks. I would like the next vid to be "first road test" Charlie cptsnoopy MAY 28, 06:24 AM I decided to get brave and try filling in the cracked corner of my rear roof section. While I was using a half round rasp to prep the cracked area it began to look more like a factory flaw in the roof section that was filled in with something. It was crumbling away as I ground it out. I mixed up some SMC Panel Adhesive and added some chopped up fiber. After packing it into the damaged area I let it sit for about an hour. It was ready to sand down by then and as usual it took a bit longer than I thought it would but I think it came out ok. Well, hopefully ok for my first repair on this stuff... Charlie cptsnoopy MAY 28, 06:29 AM The next item on the list was to figure out how to get the hood to clear the Archie Radiator. The hood hinge support was contacting the radiator cap when trying to close it. Using Oreif's suggestion, I notched the hood and it seems like it will be fine. Charlie cptsnoopy JUN 03, 02:44 AM I ordered this today. The trunk was getting quite hot on the passenger side even with the stock sheet metal heat shield in place. I am hoping this stuff will help keep the heat out of the trunk if I put it between the stock sheet metal heat shield and the trunk. That and another heat deflector to carry the heat away from the coil pack should be sufficient. Charlie cptsnoopy JUL 08, 10:28 PM I started the process of disconnecting the electrical and coolant systems in preparation to raise the car off the cradle hopefully for the last time. I received the heat shield kit from JC Whitney and hope to have it installed on the firewall and forward trunk wall asap.

I am hoping my mortality lasts long enough to get to enjoy a couple laps around the block in this thing. Charlie RCR JUL 09, 08:49 PM I feel your pain, Charlie...At least I went out and bought a throttle body gasket today....

Charlie I too feel your pain, it's been more than 3 years since I made a meaningful post on my Northstar swap!!! Man I hate when that happens. Joe cptsnoopy JUL 13, 03:35 AM It was not too bad getting the cradle out. I just had a hard time remembering how to do it... If I get more time this week, I should be able to post some pics of the installed heat shield when it's done. Charlie
