Re: project " little daisy"
 

Great Score.. Keep up the good work. Your hard work will payoff in the end. :metal:

Re: project " little daisy"
 

Well yesterday was like takeing a few steps back. I fired up the compressor and blew the hose so I had to fix that.. Cleaned the shop up and busted out the sawz all so that I could cut out a small section where the driveshaft was rubbing when you hit a bump. Dropped out the driveshaft and proceded to notch crossmember and they it happened I see fluid and think wtf did I cut gas ? brake line so I stop the saw and run for a bucket. Turns out the brake line runs accross the crossmember and it was so dirty I did not see it. Then I proceded to pop off the diff cover to change out the rear fluid and check to see if there really was a posi back there???? guess what no posi not really a big deal but I hate liars... So I get the rear end buttoned up and put the drive shaft back in and fire her up gonna move her out so I can take some pics she runs great and the after getting warmed up she dies crap.... So I check out everything and damned if shes not outta gas so into town I go... Hopefully today will be more productive... wish me luck..

Got all the door hardware out of the packages and lined for right and left doors. I got the father-in law over to help with shooeting the primer:gi:thats a first for him and he did pretty well. He also shoot primer on the inner cab repairs and then he started feeling funny I told him to wear the mask..

Re: project " little daisy"

Re: project " little daisy"
 

Can anyone tell me what these holes along the back of the cab floor are for? And I found this know hideing under the dash I know it goes to the wipers but it looks to be a cable of some sort any ideas?

Re: project " little daisy"
 

I also got the fubared hole in the floor welded up and the new tranny cover installed. Also I need to come up with a cover for the master cylinder, I think I m also gonna have the shifter cable come up through this hole.
