Had a week off to 100% dedicate to working on old blue, loved it. Things are beginning to sail along smoothly.
Since my last update:
-Cab and bed came off the frame.
-Cut out the cab rot and welded in new inner and outer rockers, cab supports and a wee bit of the floor.
-Frame and rear axle was sandblasted and painted.
-Painted the cab, '71 Nova donor engine and trans, new (used) auto column, new doors, new fenders.
-Installed new offy intake, new holley 2bbl and lokar kickdown and throttle cables. Got a moroso aluminum carb spacer for $14 that I redrilled so my carb could mount bowl front. Sweet!
-Stripped out the wiring harness and cleaned it up, removed the unnecessary parts (ASM relays and such)
-New (used) rallys and rubber, new brake lines.
It's come a long way since the first day of teardown....
It's been a year and a half to get to this point. Thanks to Hank, Sarge (RIP), Tom, Boucher, Snowman and the other inline freaks (whos names escape me) for bestowing your pictures, wisdom and tips to keep me on the right path.
PS: 12 Bolt goodies arrived yesterday, Christmas came early. Thanks Tom!
