What did you do to your G-Body today 2024

[UC645]

Put on a new Harwood 4" cowl hood. I removed the circular coil spring and left the entire hinge there - lined up and works perfectly! I will be getting it painted to match, don't worry.

How’s the fitment on that? I’m looking to buy a fiberglass hood in the future and opinions on all the manufacturers are a seesaw to say the least.

It fits great! Using the stock hinges helped since those were already lined right up. I had to adjust the side-to-side fitment slightly, but that took literally 5 minutes total. I say go for it!

Installed new oil pressure switch so I can unwind my choke and start the car normally again.

Finally got around to investigating the rotational noise, think I found it......

Can you machine the nuts down to be shorter overall and get rid of that wibble or is this a case of all new nuts?

I think I'm actually just going to swap back to the old wheel studs, torquing them down a lot more got rid of the movement. But still a ton of noise, so pretty sure the lugs are bottoming out now that the spacer isn't there. Gonna see about that this week sometime
