It's good to be back. LOW AD, what are you doing with your dash? Leaving it stock?
I'm still trying to catch up on pictures.
I welded the two corner pieces back in and did the bodywork.
I needed to find a way to get the wiring into the doors, so I decided to use these looms since I had them. To get the angles right, I welded two 45 degree sleeves on both ends.
With the serious chop, the windshield wipers needed to shift sideways. After welding up the old holes, I went with single motor after market wipers because they were cheaper and I decided to mount them above the windshield so they can't be seen once the visor is installed.
Due to the door handle mechanism going through where the stock window mechanism goes, I had to switch to power windows. I want them to look stock, so I'm using the switch that utilizes the stock handle. Here is the new mounting plate for it.
Two weeks ago I pulled the motor out and finished welding the motor mounts, firewall and floor / trans tunnel.
It's nice to see some serious changes again.
I sent the motor out to be rebuilt since it was about time for it.
More to come as time permits. I'm pounding hard on the truck as we just put our house up for sale and are moving back to Arizona once it sells.
