:eek:
That last Gremlin refuses to die! :mad:
I had a brand new matching blue light in stock, cut the old one out, which of course didn't leave enough wiring to do a new job, extended the wiring, wired in the new light.

Turned on the Hi-Beams..... they worked...... but...... NO Indicator light!
I've never had one of these lights go bad let alone a brand new one! After testing and still no luck- a mad dash back to our supplier- New light will be in at 7AM........Oh-Well...........

If it was easy.............

OK... Back from another run to DVs place. Making progress. Had another gremlin pop up while I was there. Pin hole leak in the radiator. I've been told its been squashed already **)

Car will be getting its 4 wheel laser alignment done Tuesday morning ( careful on the go peddle DV :eek: ) Then the car is going to Bakker's to get the carpeting finally done.

Here's a couple quick pics...

Here's the back up mechanical oil pressure gauge DV installed to give us a some piece of mind, since the electrical one in the dash is waiting on a new sending unit.

DV hung the passenger door. Check the fit. He hasn't even fine tuned the seams yet, just loosely bolted it in.

other ed,

Do you think spats might be a good thing to protect that paint?

You bet!!! Its on my list of finishing touches. Need to start sourcing places to get a pair.

Thanks!

Mine are made of plastic and were painted the same color. It is a slight destraction from the finish but, imo, worth the trouble. That rear fender front catches lots of gravel.

Mine are black plastic and came with the kit. They have been on for 22k miles
and still look like new - no coming off anywhere. My paint is a dark green
so they don't stand out. I have been driving it for nine years. Well worth the
extra $ and work to protect the paint.

Anyone know where I can get a pair? Preferably in black.

Thanks!

Damnnnnn,
I had the name of the company and phone# of the Co. that made them for CR's but the guy that bought my business absconded with all my old files!

I remember it as a U.S. company and it was an Injection Moulding Co. .
Sorry that's the best I can come up with.

Calling all CR owners running an automatic tranny.....

Cpteddie,
If it's all right with you we can go with the 3M vinyl tape/shield. I can have Chad order it if you want. This stuff is pricey for what you get but works fabulously and can be replaced anytime (couple years) that it may need it without harming the paint at all! It's totally clear too.

DV

pricey??? kinda forgot what that word meant %/ :JEKYLHYDE :3DSMILE:

go ahead and have Chad order some!

Well.....

Its been awhile since I've posted an update on the build. Gets a little depressing every now and then. Here's where we're at...

We have something not right with the C6 tranny. When we get the engine fired up (more on that) the car doesn't want to move until the RPMs get above 3500. She won't even creep along at idle. Most people we have talked to, think the stall on the converter is not the issue and it must be something not engaging correctly in the C6.

I went ahead and got a brand new AOD with matched converter from TCI. Its been bench tested and dyno'ed. We have the car on the calendar to get the trannys swapped out on the 21st. I'll have to get a new driveshaft made after the swap.

The next issue is now the engine doesn't want to fire. Thought the Holley might be the issue after all the electrical and fuel issue DV worked though a month or so ago. He swapped it out with a Carter/Edelbrock, but after starting right up a couple time. Now she doesn't want to fire up and seems to get flooded almost immediately. Not good :CRY: :confused: :mad:

Well the car did get winched onto the trailer and I got it delivered to Bakker's to get the carpet done this week before the car heads for the tranny swap.

here's a couple pics...

At this point not looking good with the driving season coming to an end :(

special thanks to DV and Capteddie
 

And others, I have just spent 4 hours going over this thread, still only half way thru it all. I positively have learned much about building my CRL, I am sure it has saved me from asking questions which have already been answered in this thread.

thanks tons for the time spent documenting this build

Hi DV, where can I get the aluminum mesh grill for the breake vents.
summit racing don't have them in stoke
thanks.

Here's what we used. Comes in a sheet that you can cut to fit.

abram9978,

Very easy to install too. As far as I know, no one makes "Pre-Moulded" ones to fit (CR's). This material is very easy to cut (household scissors) bend it by hand to fit the shape and use body filler to glue them in place.

thanks as always:JEKYLHYDE

Am I the only one going through withdrawls from the DV/capteddie project?

What's happnin' guys?

So much more to come. Didn't mean to leave anyone hanging, but this car is a stubborn ol' cuss. Now it is running right, starting right, moving very,very right, and will be back in the shop tomorrow to finally get to final assembly - buffing - polishing, AND cleaning.
