I have been busy, both on the car and on other things. I got the new cold air intake mostly finished. I made it from scratch at school, and the welding shop took care of sticking it together. Most of the material I used was scrap, and the total cost to make the tube portion was zero. I used leftover aluminum from the grill plug for my air box, and I cut into cowl at the firewall to allow cold air to get to the intake.
My other project is the timing pulley. I machined the old piece to the specs listed on the print, and then I chucked up a hunk of round stock and started turning it down. I got the basic shape done today, then I wrote a program for the CNC mill to cut the adjustment slots and make some indexing lines. I still have to broach in the keyway, and drill a couple of holes so I can make a spanner to help adjust it on the car. for the mating piece, all I have to do is use the CNC mill to pop in my bolt circle, and then I will tap it and call it good.
The machine trades parking lot:
The 'vette belongs to the teacher and is really done up right, the Nova belongs to a good friend of mine, and the 3rd gen is the paropro's daily driver.
