Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed

So, for the happy viewers, I've got all electrics going

All lights work, even highbeam and brakelights!



The heatercore was leaking, at least I think it does....
I took it out of the truck, the core looks like it doesn't leak, if I close one end and blow through the other, it doesn't leak any air.
But normally the system is under pressure, so I have it leaktested, to be sure.
Also the PO had used normal gardenhose for the heatercore, don't think it was his best set....

Did a bit of tuning on the engine, cleaned the enginebay a little bit for now bolted on the aircleaner on that came with the car, so that's ready for inspection.



I am ready to take it to inspection, but unfortunatly have to wait until December 2.
Now I can do the little things that are not neccesary for inspection, but have to be done, such as the heater (we need one in the Netherlands!), blower hoses that are broken, thinking about colors on the outside....
I have no idea what color I'm gonna use.
I lean towards semi gloss black with high gloss red.
But then again, there are more TF trucks with that color...
Maybe only sanding and look what comes through...

I want a 50's Hot Rod / Rat Rod look on the truck so if you guys and girls have any tips??
