Re: Project Reno - 72 cheyenne rebuild

She's out in the sun!!!!
Well today, I actually pulled her out of the garage under her own power, washed her up and put some temporary tags on her for the voyage to the exhaust shop.



I also picked up my A/C lines and installed them. I was able to find a company nearby named http://www.colliflower.com that crimped them for me. They actually make the parker hoses in the vintage ac system, but mostly do industrial hoses and crimping. Very nice to deal with.


I also received my epoxy for the wood trim components.

I am gonna wait for the hot temps to go down before doing that. Probably later in the week.

And....for the most fun of the day... the half hour drive to the exhaust shop. It drove like a dream, brakes worked well, Steered easily and shifted smooth. I did hear a loud rubbing noise on the drivers front wheel so will have to investigate that when I get her home. I also have some gauge issues that need to be investigated. Probably a bad ground. Who knows. Anyway, what a joy to drive the truck after three years in the garage and 6 years of ownership.
