Very nice James.

I should know this, but I don't. Can I put an RC33 radiator cap on my 69 Camaro radiator, run the overflow hose into an expansion tank and have a closed system on my 69? I know it isn't technically correct. Is there something different in the neck that would keep it from working as a closed system?

Lynn,
I do not believe there is anything different, the cap is incorrect in appearance though, if you want a closer to correct look the RC 26 is a big eared closed system cap.

Does anyone know the correct hardware for the shifter levers and shifter mounting plate to trans bolts?

Installed the fan and shroud as well as the overflow tank...

In the mean time I painted a 48 FORD Pickup... beautiful 1986 Ford Metallic Blue

When are you putting the "Caution Fan" sticker on the shroud for the Camaro?

Thanks for the reminder... I surely would have neglected that critical detail...

I'd be happy to assist you with the proper incorrect placement location as I do own a ford product now, I'll have you know!

I had the card scanned and then did a spray out which was light, so I added a little black tint and I believe it is pretty close, though the texture is a little odd, am spraying the sets tomorrow so I will report back with the exact amount of 806J added &
the Chroma Premier complete mixture ratios.

Wow James...that looks spot on. How did you get the texture with modern materials?...just dust the last cost? Awesome job.
