Power touring GN Build Thread

[bishir]

Stock pro portioning valve vs one made for rear discs. This is made by right stuff. I bought it from summit. I powdercoated the linkage bracket just because...

Not breaking but on the rear housing I've added an extra 1 inch to the stock collar. I've looked back through your pics and see you are not going to have that happening . Sorry for unneeded question. Again nice build!

Can you pick my lottery numbers for the next drawing so that I can do the upgrades to my car like you are doing?

Would like to see the GN this year on Power Tour, but looks like I will not be making the Tour this year because I lost my job, haven't found a new one. I am hoping that I will be able to make the trip we have planned to Oregon to the in-laws timeshare for the July 4th week.

hello people; Speaking seeing TB on tour or whatever. You see them at the drag strip big time but that's about it. A co-worker has been giving me the Goodguys mag. and in it there's every thing but a TB. This Month they show a (Road Tour) Cal. to Texas and no TB. I did see one of my fav. cars a 71 GTO ragtop.
If you have not seen the mag. try to as it's got the best in it.

Ha, I've had to scrape, save, and give my wife lots of back rubs to do what you're seeing here.


I may not make the tour this year due to a potential move.

Jlat, I'd like to participate in a GoodGuys type event, but usually the limit the year of car..

hello people; Looking good but about the SM heat shield. Did you make it and does it work on both stock and mini starters?
