I am going to start the painting this weekend, and if I find the right silver for the inside maybe do that on Sunday. Then it is just a matter of waiting for the big brown truck to build up the supply.
I will give plenty of notice, the light is getting brighter!!!
Just remember May 19/20 is swap weekend, so you may want to schedule just after that. It will be hard to do much leading up to that. The next weekend is a 3-day holiday, so many may be gone. Maybe June 2013?
The big brown truck has been burning a path in my driveway. I have my paint for the car now, as well as the shaved door handle kit, Lokar shifter kit, billet pulley kit, new gas tank and sender, heater rebuild kit, plugs and wires, and my Ron Francis wiring kit just showed up.
Now I am just waiting on the headers, and one wire alternator to show. I think I still need a bunch of little do-dads still so I will make a list this weekend get them ordered and schedule a party.
I need to paint the inside first and then a bunch of work can be done, maybe paint the outside as well. I am going the Roger route for now since I still have body work and some small stuff left on the outside to do.
I will put up some potential date for the assembly party and see who would like to help.
Let the fun begin!!!!!
Well I finally got the pulleys all lined up. Just need to pick up a small 1/2" spacer for the fan.
No to do the trany cooler lines and radiator hoses. Need some nice days so I can paint the inside and start on the wiring.
Oh, uh, yeah, I am sorta kinda toying with an idea for some custom billet shiny purty bling bling stuff.
I am actually trying to duplicate that $600 kit you can buy online. I should only have about $200 into it including the heim joints. I post that up after it is done.
$400 to apply to something else. Gotta love it. It really is looking nice. I think you'll have it on the road in no time. Windows? Who needs windows? Windshield yes. Even Jeff took his wagon out with stuff missing. WIP. The cousin of WIAI.
A little here and a little there. She is slowly taking shape. Need to try and paint the inside this weekend.
Just need a little fuel and a little spark and we can see if it will run after 2 years??
That infamous light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter everyday!
How close is the fan to the rad. I have seen those flex fan blades go forward when they spin fast, it happen to me once...and then the water poors out....jh
It looks way close in the pics, but I am 3/4 inch away at the bottom and about 1.25" at the top of the radiator.
The fan has steel arms all the way out on the blades so the only part that moves is the curved part of the fan. I can't even pull the blades closer to the radiator by yanking on them. Should be fine (I hope)...
