It should just be a couple bolts and a couple hoses...and a belt. Nothing major. Similar to how the alternator is set up.

oh cool...I'm having a weak moment!

3.23 posi is already installed!

The best thing to do is have them plated.

If I were you, I'd leave it unpainted. Chances are, there will be at least a small amount of fuel seepage...and it will kill the paint and make it look like crap. Does it look bad now, or is it a good even bare metal with not much corrosion?

RT: .732 (I suck at cutting lights) 60': 2.14 (need slicks) 330': 6.177 1/8: 9.542 MPH: 55.95 (the computer wasn't reading right, I don't think) 1000': 12.402 1/4: 14.995 MPH: 89.60 I just sold that car, it's going to Germany. I'll have another 1971 Centurion at the BPG national meet next year, and it will be running 13's with any luck...and it will be stock appearing. A little port work on the heads and intake, a small cam, posi, slicks, and I'll be in business! Oh, can't forget 2.5" dual exhaust, small body HEI ignition, and a John Osborne prepped Qjet... I'm pumped!!!

Rolf is his name...

Germany!

45 minutes!

Yeah, the 30k mile original car was just "molested" on national TV. I think the coverage for the HP nats was too short! But it was still cool to see it covered at all. Maybe we can get the BPG nats on next year! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Did you see the last photos I posted of the interior?

Brian, the only thing that has been done on this car, restoration-wise, is paint on the midsection (below the paint stripe, and above the lower 4" of the body). I think this was due to the large number of door dings & such. Of course, typical maintenance items like plugs, wires, cap, rotor, hoses have all been changed. There is still one heater hose, a tower clamp, and all the vacuum lines still original. In order to get this thing inspected, I need to get a set of mufflers on it. I blew them up like balloons on the way home. It's almost cartoon-like.

Yes, I discovered yesterday, that the side moldings on this car are aftermarket! :-P I can't remove them without repainting, either. I guess they will stay :-)
