Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

fixed my broken choke cable.
nobody said it was a easy fix lol.
i didnt know that the tube had a seem and the sheathing was crimped into the tube.
so i split the end of the tube open and peeled some of the plastic coating off
the sheathing.
then i snipped the broken part off and recrimpped it back in. a very small tack weld will keep it in place for good.
not shown is i also welded a small bit on the knob end filed and rethreaded it so the knob will not pull off anymore

also got most of the (526)white sprayed the nason paint was really thin and transparent it took a few coats.

also installed a heater box cover from a c/50 pretty cool ad on. i didnt realize the black cover was so hard too see till i uploaded the pic

back to sand sand sand
