    Hi everyone,  Here in NYC it was on at 1130am Eastern standard time. My 3 boys watched it with me ! It was great seeing a 65 GS on the show. :thumbsup:  Anyone know where we can get a puller like the one she used to remove the control arm bushings ? I would like to get one..

Hi all,

Cool to see one on the tube, anyone know where to get the rear exhaust system hangers they used,  I looked on OPGI but couldn't find them, as they would be perfect for a system I am currently laying out for my Olds.

Also intersted in the control arm bushing tool.

Only issue with the show is how did they get the front drum on after they installed ther front hubs. I know its tv but made me cringe, but cool to see it on there.

Regards,
Jim

Interesting that the center link and idler was good and the rest bad. Exhaust, did not show the hook up to the GS manifolds, and the tail pipes look like 67 Chev. Did they replace the upper rear control arm bushing, or did I miss these things. Very cool to see the GS on TV.

Guys, I've been WAYYWAAY too busy lately.  I will try to answer some of your thots...
YES, all the "ladies" get dirty, HOWEVER, BOGI is the one who aint skeer'd and totally JUMPS RIGHT IN with both hands..... 
The car sounded great with the OPGI donated FLOWMASTER Stainless 2.5" exhaust system. The only thing I didnt really care for was the way the pipes dumped behind the rear tires... that look stole some of the originality appearance.
You may wanna look into FLOWMASTER website for those cool HANGERS...
The "ladies" did NOT replace the upper control arm bushings. I really wish they would have, since they had the car dismantled at that point!   :violent1:
The bushing 'puller' was NOT a 'single designed kit' so-to-speak. They caniblized one part from one kit and another part from another kit. Christylee kinda explained that as she was narrating that part of the show.
All-in-all, it was a blast hanging out at the studio with the ALL GIRLS cast and the guys behind the scenes doing some of the 'grunt work' before live cameras were rolling.
It was fun!   :headbang:

I don't know offhand but might be able to find out.
What did you record it on? Is it something like an old Panasonic DVD recorder hooked up to your tv? Or is the recorder part of your cable or satellite receiver?
We will need to find out what kind of file it's saved as.

A low-tech way to make a copy is to play it on your tv and record it with a cell phone camera. Quality will suffer.

ThanX Walt! I didnt record it but a friend did, and he tells me the unit is a Spectrum supplied DVR with no jacks or ethernet connection. just a TV cable connection...
