Well all went smooth with the diff, running great. However, my brake calipers were shot. Four out of 6 pistons were frozen, 2 rusted bad. Apparently all that was working was the very front 2 pistons but it stopped just fine. I had no idea. Anyway, all new calipers and shoes.

Then while it was sitting for 6 weeks, I developed a leak on the firewall and soaked my drivers side carpet. All the moisture then rusted my speaker covers. So trying to match that grey interior was impossible. I stripped everything, and found a huge red ant bed in my passenger door. Must have been 500 eggs fell out when I pulled the panel off, and big azz ants running every where. Any way, cleaned every thing and went with a simi-black on the covers. I have so much black trim anyway I went with it. Looks ok to me.

 

I made an air box today and lined the inside with plumbers insulation. It has a foam sticky back pad. ...Didn't come out too bad. It should keep some of the engine heat away from filter.

 

Looks good Pitt ! I like the contrast of the black grilles .

Air box looks good , do you pull the filter when at the track ?

Fukin ants , you southern boys get nice weather but plenty of bugs to go with it lol.

 

Thx. I haven't pulled it yet, but I plan to put a rubber 90 degree bend in place of the filter when the weather is good.

I pulled my vette filter in spring for the first time and picked up 1.5 mph.

Damn ants sux. They can nest in days.
