Camaros looked great & ran strong. Thought the red/white/blue AMC Jav. won the Sunday Trans AM race?

Not sure how far away (shipping) you want to go. Sherm's Plating in Sacramento, Ca. is very good, but expensive. Used them on a few of my restorals.

Danny,
In the SF Bay area (where you live) there's a mobile upholstery repair guy that can fix your door panels. Try Kollias Auto Care...Nick at 510-220-0969 or Tony at 510-386-0820. These guys make the rounds of new and used car dealers, repairing small cracks, cuts, etc. in vinyl, leather, & cloth. Used them several times in my classics, most recently to repair the door panel on my '68 SS. Work is perfect....can't tell where the repair was done.

Maintenance / Re: Synthetic oil or not
« on: September 04, 2015, 05:15:46 PM »
I tried synthetic...worried about it causing leaks (too slick for my old engine). Went back to real oil, using Joe Gibbs "Driven" oil which also has the right amount of zinc.

Originality / Re: Valve cover and air cleaner assy
« on: July 03, 2015, 01:26:22 AM »
Looks like you have Billet Specialties valve covers & air cleaner....high end stuff & worth a few bucks. I see an Edelbrock intake (performer?). Check your carb to hood clearance to be sure the stock air cleaner fits. Should be ok with a performer intake, but may be trouble if its an air gap. How far do you plan to go getting back/close to original? You have headers, serpentine setup, etc. Expensive to change all that back to original.

Are rear springs leaf or mono? SS should have leaf. It see if your car may have originally had a SS hood, check the hood springs....SS springs were different (more coils). Check CRG web site posts & you can get more info on these springs.

General Discussion / Re: Crager SS wheel & tire size question
« on: April 01, 2015, 04:01:01 PM »
I'm running 15" Cragar SS with 7" on the front & 8" on rear on my 68" Tires are 215/65's. Car is stock height. 4" backspacing on fronts, not sure about rears...it's either 4 or 4 1/2. Back has plenty of clearance. Fronts would rub while cornering if I tried to lower front end by over 1/2 in. Front brakes are SSBC single caliper discs. Back are factory drums.

Lots of posts on this subject...suggest a detailed search. Some posts describe how to make your own staples out of 16 or 18 gauge steel, etc. When installing mine, I used a small dab of contact cement to hold the rubber shields in place before I installed the staples. Made my own staples to match factory ones. Used factory holes as template, & drilled with 1/16 bit through hole + rubber to make staple installation easier.

Ditto on the Joe Gibbs "Driven Logo" motor oil. My car (350 crate) does not like synthetics, but has run great on Joe Gibb's stuff for several years. Get seal leaks with synthetic.
