1949 AD-kota

Had a little break but back in action.

Last month I installed the Custom Autosound stereo.

Got some different rear fenders from a friend. Got them put on today.

Yesterday I spent on a bunch of little tasks. Painted the center trim clips for the windshield, prepped the area around the drivers side vent so I glue the weatherstrip on, ordered a Y pipe I think will work, wiped all the ATF off the pan so I can see if it still seeps, wired in the dome light, & wired in the electric choke. Hope to have it of the lift soon.

Good timing Todd. Warmer weather has arrived.

Finally have exhaust going out the back. What a messed up deal. I offset the engine to the right for ease of hooking up the steering. Had to rework the Y pipe so it would clear the frame. I knew I should have gone with an inline. Bought a knock off magna-flow dual kit for the dakota chassis.

Hear it is (see what I did there?)

Sounds good. What size pipe is that?

 

[Snake Farm]

Sounds sweet!

 

[Old Iron]

That has the right sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[bob w]

Sweet!

Been working the last couple weeks on the interior.

Painted the back panel gray

Welded the holes in the floor and got undercoat on it

Painted the frame under the seat, the mini console & put in the rubber mat

It's about ready to come off the lift. [cl

 

[bob w]

Off the lift! I'll drink to that.

The interior is looking very sanitary. I like them to look like trucks inside, like yours, not like a Lexus, all fancy and cushy.

 

[sgtpontiac]

Very Nice!!

As Bob said, it's very clean and tidy...

 

[Todd]

Off the lift

daylight

A few more fiddly things and should be road worthy.

 

[sgtpontiac]

OH Yeah....

I like it....a lot![P

 

[bob w]

They always look better outside. And your looks really good. Eager to hear how it rides and handles.

 

[Todd]

Thanks, I didn't buy tabs last year and will have to wait til the end of May to get new ones. I'm not paying $50 for one month. That will give me time to figure out the tune, it's just a little off.

 

[Snake Farm]

Seeing that puppy outside is enough to give a fellow spring fever!

[P[P[P

 

[earthman]

excellent!

 

[I-R-POPS]

Getting one outside is a real moral booster . Nice job.

 

[jfg455]

Awesome! Seeing yours out in the daylight might inspire me to get mine going (as opposed to pushing it into the burn pile!)[cl[cl

 

[sgtpontiac]
