Recent upgrades on my 69 - 2018 time to clean things up

[JB400]

The brakes look great.  In regards to your overheating issue, is your water pump turning the right direction?  Being that you swapped to a serpentine belt system, did you make sure you got the right pump for your belt system.?  Some systems require a reverse flow pump.

I love the look of these Baer T4 series, they really make the look of the big rims at their place.
Way cool

Awesome work!!!  Love the brakes and wheels.      Keep the pictures flowing!!

Really like the spoiler, where did you pick that up from?

[bill440rt]

VERY nice, Clayton! LOVE your car! 

Sorry to hear about the pulley fiasco. Hope you get that sorted out soon.

Looking good W&R!    I wish I had the funds for those rbakes.  I hope you get the cooling issue worked out.

It's a '69 Camaro spoiler, you can get them just about anywhere, I have one on mine as well.

I will say it again. . .the finest 69 on the site.  Looks fantastic. 

[WHITE AND RED 69]

Thanks guys!    Hopefully will have the pulley situation done this weekend. The parts needed are in route.

   good stuff     like the look of the body colored front spoiler , gives  it a different look

Awesome job with all the upgrades White and Red!

Where did you get the floor shifter?

[WHITE AND RED 69]

Where did you get the floor shifter?

It's just a B&M Quicksilver ratchet shifter. The console plate had to be modified to make it fit but only slightly.

Forgot to post up about the cooling situation so here is an update.

Well, no one make a double serpentine belt pulley that is small enough so I had to go with a single groove pulley and re route the other belt. So I added an idler pulley (with a chevy bracket that somehow ended up fitting perfectly  ) that matches with the rest of the setup to get the right routing and it turned out pretty good. And with the new pulley it helped out quite a bit but still not out of the woods yet. Its nowhere near as bad as it was with the old pulley but its better. Have put about 300 miles on it in the last few weeks and the hottest it has got was 220(this was in dead stop traffic and 95 degrees out). Other than that it usually stays about 190-210. But I would like to get it to run a little cooler so I'm thinking about getting a new aluminum radiator. I have been looking at a few and it's either going to be a Wizard Cooling, Be Cool, or Griffin radiator. So this should happen hopefully in the next few months.

But in the meantime I'm just going to enjoy the car as is and just do the normal maintenance. Its been off the road too much this year for dumb reasons.



Also got the a/c all finished up and just need to get the system charged. I wanted to hide the hoses a bit better but I think it turned out fine.

Dude your car looks fantastic !

White chin spoiler looks great

I noticed you had converted the signals with driving lights /turn signals
Can you post better pics of them
I was on the fence about ordering them a while ago, but somehow I lost interest in it.
Brakes look good !, Hydroboost , wheels , interior ........


Great job


From one pro tourer to another !

Thanks Autodynamics!    

As for the parking lights they are made by Illumin8s. They are a dual light so when the parking lights are on they are a bright white but soon as you use the turn signal they flash with a amber color. And when the parking lights are off they work just like stock with the amber bulb. Work like a charm and it's total plug and play. No modifications to the light housings or wiring. Just need both flasher units under the dash to be LED flashers. Little pricey but I think they are great.

[1970Moparmann]

Cool lights!  Great work.

[RIDELIKEHELL]

Beauty!!! Love everything about that car 

[Dino]

Dang!  You added mini headlights!  I went to the website but can't get it to work properly, likely the old browser at work I'm using that's to blame.

How much did those lights set you back?

Mini headlights is right, these suckers are bright! I think they were about $115 with the flasher unit and shipping.

That's not too bad!  Now yours is the dual light but do they have them in amber only as well?  Not saying that's what I want but it's nice to have the option.  I'm not touching the parking lights on mine until the new alternator is in, then I can see how much brighter I want it.  Right now it's pretty dim at idle.

[roger440]

I am loving this car. Its just so "right".

The wheels, the stance, the colour and the white spoiler. Ive been a fan of those intro wheels ever since they were released.

Im looking at my stock 69 and thinking.........................................

[autodynamics]

How far do those lights work at night ? Seems like they are only effective when your directly in front of them
True?
I've seen the ebodys with them and question there effectiveness.

[bill440rt]

I'd like to know too, Clayton.
You'll be probably be hearing from me too about them. 

[WHITE AND RED 69]

Yes, true that they are most effective when you are in front. But that is because of the design of the parking light lens not the bulbs. If the lens wasn't pushed so far back into the valance you would definitely have more light coverage.

I'd look at them as basically a set of fog lights. They light up about 5-10 (maybe more?) feet in front at night, but you can definitely tell they are on even with the headlights on. For me I just wanted to lose the amber bulb when the parking lights are on. I tried standard LEDs but I liked that these were a dual purpose. Just in case the law ever told me that amber bulbs were needed.

Here are a couple more pics that show the lights during the day.    

And a pic from the guy I got them from on a challenger that shows the coverage of the lights.
