Re: The Vandal. 1957 "Big glass" 3100 restomod.
heck yeah, don't stop now! that little lady is turning out seeeexxxy.
i enjoy the build as much or more than the driving/use. some bits more than others. like paint, HARD pass :lol: there's a reason my truck will launch as a patina ride. if i ever decide i want it pretty like yours i'll have to pay someone |
Re: The Vandal. 1957 "Big glass" 3100 restomod.
I found a little motivation. Made a bracket for the Dakota Digital boxes and some relays. Don't know yet what I need relays for, but they're there if I need them.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...d02207ea_c.jpg Installed and wired. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...ea51f5fa_c.jpg Got the dash stuff all wired up. I'm going to install the wiper switch in the hole left of the gauges. The cable wasn't long enough, so I will have to extend it. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...530cec2c_c.jpg |
Re: The Vandal. 1957 "Big glass" 3100 restomod.
Like the bracket and look of everything. I am only ib the beginning of my 57 Big Back Window build but yours has plenty of ideas. Look forward to the rest of the build. Steve

Re: The Vandal. 1957 "Big glass" 3100 restomod.
Looks like a decent location for the PCM. Will keep in mind when I am to that point. Looking good. Steve

Re: The Vandal. 1957 "Big glass" 3100 restomod.
Glad to see you back on it bud. lookin good!

Re: The Vandal. 1957 "Big glass" 3100 restomod.
Thanks, guys. It will be a month before I get back at it again.

Re: The Vandal. 1957 "Big glass" 3100 restomod.
I found some garage therapy time this week.
I blasted and sprayed the exhaust manifolds with Cerakote. I was hoping for gloss, a little disappointed, but the still look good. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...9a602bdc_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...19bd425b_c.jpg I got the engine harness sorted out. Everything is laid out, hot wires extended for a relay box. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...d9cc1ea8_c.jpg Made a bracket for the relay box https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...357a5269_c.jpg Where it's going to get installed: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...23bb6c89_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...24a10d9b_c.jpg Back to wiring.. |
Re: The Vandal. 1957 "Big glass" 3100 restomod.
Manifolds look good. I get concerned on how long before it burns off. I also like your electronics mounting spot. That is the side my pcm/relays will go. Steve

Re: The Vandal. 1957 "Big glass" 3100 restomod.
Thats where GM put them, so I'm did the same. I know a lot of guys try to put them in the cab, but I wasn't interested in pulling bundles of wire through the firewall. Sooner or later I have to decide what wires to pull through the firewall and start drilling.

Re: The Vandal. 1957 "Big glass" 3100 restomod.

Re: The Vandal. 1957 "Big glass" 3100 restomod.

Re: The Vandal. 1957 "Big glass" 3100 restomod.
Thanks guys. Trying to get the last few wiring parts figured out and ordered. So close to putting heat in this engine:burnout:

Re: The Vandal. 1957 "Big glass" 3100 restomod.
Looking good. I see you are using shrink bands in place of hose clamps. I love those. If you wipe them with lacquer thinner the part #'s that are printed on them come right off. Maybe I'm too anal, but I always do that to mine.
