Wait for it.

Just a little Bit.

.Edit, I totally spaced off the fact that I needed to point something very important out. John is the detail man. I was happy with just spraying the valve covers red. John wanted to see them in a nice shiney Red. He knew I really liked the Fiero Red, so he showed up this afternoon with these for me. I will see if I can find some before pics. They were ubber icky when we got them.

I really wanted the red valve covers again. Red and Black just looks so nice when you open the hood. These are red and Magnesium.



Plus the 4 popper filler neck that john brought back from the dead for me.

I ended up cheaping out on the clutch for the moment.

It is a stock V6 DynoPack clutch kit. The DynoPack's held up to my 100hp nitrous shots fired at 1200rpms. It held up to 2 years of extreme street and track racing. So it is only fitting that I give the DynoPack's another shot. They are cheap clutches up here. But seem to have good bang for there buck. There is a long story on this clutch. It was installed in a car, ran for 2 months then pulled out because he blew his tranny. (cracked the case) He needed a new throwout bearing and the shop did not have one and would not take a clutch kit apart and sell him just the throwout bearing. So he had to buy an entire clutch kit for just the throwout bearing.

He took his near new clutch out boxed it up and was saving it. Well along comes me going to buy a V6 dynopack clutch but I don't need a throwout bearing because I need the Isuzu Throw-out bearing.

He offers it to me for "Free"

How could I turn it down. All it has to do is last 6 months or until I find the 3.32 gear set to put into my later model case, and then I want to install a puck clutch.

It is on the cradle. and the 5spd is hooked to it.

Well I was not able to take any pics today, I was busy as heck. I still don't have the mounts worked out right.
I had a fabricator buddy over here. You know Lance and his girlfriend. He drives the Jacked up Suzuki. He is going to try to work on some motor mounts for me, as well as fab up the tensioner bracket for me. I went to Napa and got the Camaro tensioner today. Need to go back and buy the idler and the belt.

John spent another afternoon here today working on the harness so it is almost done. There is now Fiero and Caddy plugs together. I am running dual oil pressure gauges. I left the stupid rear trans bracket at Zero-C's place in Chilliwack, so I am hoping your other half can bring that back for me.

The pics are horrible because I just sorta snapped them right before going inside to call it a night. I need sleep. With anything luck it will be in the car before the end of the weekend.

Well I got one of the mounts from the fab guy this morning. WOW he put 3/8 plate cut with a plasma cutter and shaped them into massive triangles and welded them into supports. Then ground all the old welds and re-welded the old mounts.

I will try and take good pics today. I just got back from NAPA and bought the last idler wheel doo hickey thingy and the belt that I need to finally start to get the belts routed.

I am not into bashing other members. They just were not what I was expecting or wanted.
