David G 69 Gulf SPF build begins.

Now that the front of the engine is figured out I will remove the engine from the stand and mount the flywheel and the the bellhousing and zero runout the bellhousing then install the clutch assembly. I want to send the bundle of snakes out for jet hot coating but think I need to test fit it first and make sure they clear the upper crossmember first.

David, did you send the exhaust to Jet Hot. I asked a few different vendors how they coat the inside. The only one that would not tell me was Jet Hot. Claimed it was a trade secret. The others all said they cap the ends and swirl. That is also how Ceracoat recommends. It’s certainly a lot less expensive. I am also looking at Eastwood’s internal coating. They provide a 2’ hose with a 360^ nozzle. Cheers, Randy

I had a neat piece of the puzzle show up almost a year to the date of the delivery. And I plan on registering it as a 1969 so I stumbled across this fitting 69 Florida license plate. My chassis number is P1176 . 50 year Anniversary of P1075.

I love the matching “Gulf” guitar David. I’ve seen them on the Safir website and have to admit they’re tempting, but my taste runs more toward acoustic type guitars…

Safir will have the "GT40" guitars at the GT Reunion.
