Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up
Friday evening I managed to sneak out to the garage ans started empying out the old cab, so we can take it of.
there used to be an alarm installed, but the previous owner cut it out... so there were alot of "ghost" wires without an clear source or destination. then there is also the matter of the LPG installation. (yes the truck runs on LPG because the normal gogo juice will set you back €1,80 a liter (thats $5,50 a gallon) I needed to take a picture of the LPG switch so i could see how to connect the wires. http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-K3MZUQWY-1.jpg Spaghetti http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-FYCE3ZCY-1.jpg Empty dash http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-RNLVOEYG-1.jpg http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-64SRWDEI-1.jpg the seat out http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-DKF78KLS-1.jpg next time we'll be taking the cab off![/ |

Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up
It turns out friday evening/nights will be my "gotta work on the truck, honey" evenings. because I can't seem to find the time for any other nightly endevours.
So friday evening I go cracking on taking out the steering colomn, e-brake mount and throttle linkidge. that was the easy part and a half an hour later I thought "oh well, lets take out the front window" it wasn't so much a hard job as it was a ackward one...because as sson as I toughed the window sealing rubber it started raining pieces rust from the roof. So I actually had to wear goggles to avoid stuff getting in my eyes! But I got the window out in one piece and am wondering if you can polish away that white "cloudy" stuff around the edges of the window? here's some pictures http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-ZYIHD8RE.jpg http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-ALHNG6FB.jpg http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-RO6YFUNI.jpg http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-BFB3PE37.jpg http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-ZYIHD8RE.jpg |

It was awesome to see your truck in the garage, Steve. The frame of that green one is still in Robbie's backyard. Cool how yours is coming along!!

Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up
5..4..3..2..1 and Lift off!!
Houston, the Cab has been succesfully removed! Having a tractor with a forklift on the front does make it a bit easier :) http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-BIBJZSND-1.jpg http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-IXCLHSYR-1.jpg First we tried to lift the cab and put some blocks underneath it, so we could put the forks under it..then we realised this cab is going to be scrapped, so we jammed then against the roof! http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-8N7C3VUP-1.jpg Then we cut out a piece of the firewall, because the new cab has a big dent right in the part where you mount the pedals. http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-88QTDDRC-1.jpg The foot of the shifter was also welded down to the cab!! http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-UTQTBLS3-1.jpg then we dropped it in a trailer, which turned out to be a bit small... http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-SXIQETRJ-1.jpg Now I'll make shopping list of things I think I'll initially need, later I'll get down to the nitty gritty. I'll post it here and you guys can tell me if I've left anything out. |
Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up
Great score on the cab ! keep up the good work !

Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up
Don't forget to take the trim off the old cab. If you aren't going to use it you can $ell it

Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up
Suddenly the time had come for the old cab to go…
http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-NSTJTUOO.jpg http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-MA8O7BFL.jpg ohoh... http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-DWFNQFLO.jpg ohnoooo! http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-PF6IKOMO.jpg That’ll be the last of him! http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-4BIGYNZ8.jpg http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-O3368REV.jpg So the limited budget is still keeping mee from ordering stuff from LMC. I I send them a $700.00 shoppinglist and they send me a $700.00 shipping quote! After that I still have to pay fees and taxes..some I gotta find an other way. So in the meantime I’ve build a transport wagon for the new cab so we can transport it to the sandblaster. But my mate has got two smaller blasting cabins at his work we could use for some smaller parts. Inner fenders before: http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-VGDZTBUP.jpg Cowl panel before: http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-3MRWM3UG.jpg Blasting Cabine http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-SBU7YZCI.jpg The Glove box door had some heavy coating on it..hmm just paint over it http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-VANIFBPR.jpg Cowl panel in the blaster http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-A3L64UZL.jpg Inner fender in the blaster http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-GFUGKGTY.jpg The glove box door and the cowl have been sprayed in primer, I’ll post pictures soon. The inner fenders aren’t finished blasting yet, because we ran out of glaspearl. Here a picture of my partner in crime, who graciously let me use his blasting cabinets. http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-TQLLU8K7.jpg Here we placed the transport wagon under the cabin which was still sitting on the bridge: http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-VY38CWLF.jpg Let’s take her for a spin http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-ZOWD4ALZ.jpg Always practice your obscene guestures http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-OIVJRRRY.jpg Concentrated waiting at the lights next to a pimpleface GTI driver.. http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-KSXV3TNS.jpg |
Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up
This is what the color is going to be like:
http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-ELMHEYZL-1.jpg and we test painted two parts to see how it would turn out. http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-UWHDAM7M.jpg http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-RNVV3BVP.jpg http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-AZEWREKM.jpg If there are fly boys among us you might recognize the color, this is paint from the Royal Dutch Airline (KLM). These days they use a lighter shade of blue, but this color was used a couple of years back. its the seperator color in the middle: http://img.tgdaily.net/sites/default.../klm_plane.jpg my friend works for a airplane repair company and the paint has an expiration date for the planes..but not for my truck :) the only tricky part is that is hard to handly because it's very thin paint, so making it stick without runners is a huge task. but the paint is free...so I'm not complaining! another advantage is that the paint is IATA grade..so it will withstand about anything. I'll post some pictures this weekend with the parts in the open, see what the color looks like under the sun. (if we get any this weekend) |

Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up
I just read through your thread. I particularly enjoyed the pictures with your humorous remarks in Post #70 (crusher and gesture haha).
I sometimes complain about shipping costs here in the US, but they are nothing compared to what you have to deal with ! Keep up the good work, looks like you'll end up with a real nice truck the way you are going. |
Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up
