Lookin good.
If these are not D shafts, right below where the two shafts are welded together, drill a big enough hole through the outer sleeve and do a plug weld just for safety sake [P

motor

getting ready to set the motor & tranny in for (hopefully) for the final time.

will stick the intake on and get the distributior in and a ton of little stuff this week.

l scored on these 1:5 rockers for 5O bucks, the guy got them and decided to go to 1:6's and just wanted them out of his shop

rear-end

painted some on the frame today and getting ready to change the rear-slug/pumpkin out. the one that came in the car has a ovaled out yoke so the U-joints won't bolt in properly and seat flat. the way it is the drive shaft would spit itself out pretty quick the way it wobbled in the yoke.

luckily the pack rat in me saved the day again. l had a 1970 ford truck that we parted out a few years ago and it had a nine inch, so we saved it. the defective rear pumpkin gears were 3:OO's and the replacement one is a 3:5O non posi.

getting the brake lights to work is a challenge with the after market pedal. but the after market makes a solution for this. l got the style that will hook to the pedal itself so when the pedal travels it activates the brake lights.

progress

next couple days putting the steering Coulomn in for the final time and getting stuff fabbed up for the brake light switch.


AND as always, the little odds & ends that seem to never stop showing up

trying to

want to get it done but still a slow go of it..

we got the steering buttoned up today. l used a old BMX bicycle aluminum goose neck for the coloulm drop. little modifying and it works great.

no place for a horn on the wheel so a push button on the dash and a aftermarket turn signal switch is the next stuff to hook up.

a real nice metal one that is a good quality turn signal was picked up at the swap meet and now it will have a good home

heater

got the heater in today. N A P A sells a 12volt to 6volt reducer so l can run the stock motor without burning it up

Shiny stuff.....looks very cool.....[cl

 

[Old Iron]

Right on, now that's what I'm talkin about

[cl LOOKIN GOOD congrats keep it up [P

 

[skull]

stuff

l got the turn signal switch on and discovered the steering shaft where the wheel hub bolts on takes a special piece l can't get anymore. solution, weld on a quick release hub and it won't affect the horn because it's on a push button in the dash, having the steering wheel removable sure will make it easier to get in/out & it's a great anti-theft device.

lights

little bit of progress, did a early morning show with jimmy's truck and then stuck the head lights on temporarily to see how they look and fit.

should be fine where l got'em[cl

then it got to hot to do anything, supposed to be cooler tomorrow, l hope so, don't work well in the heat anymore.

Kool heater! You got any.more like that? What's it out of?
That would be just the ticket for my Dodge build.

Your rides looking sweet, stay after it.

heater

l got that one in eastern Oregon out of a 1940's Mopar sedan.

l don't know if it was stock for that model, but it works great in this rat, the 3 bolts go thru the firewall to mount it and the defroster tubes are in the right place so l can run them to windshield and have defrosters on those cold mornings
