Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
So with starting on the Astro van radio @sparkplug and mate Martin in different ways immediately sprang into action finding me sources of short radios.
Some are crazy expensive and some are not. Martin found a like new Pioneer radio with a load of auxiliary functions for £30.00 about 30 miles or 50km from home. Regular advertised price is £90.00 Mate Darren had “bought” my Cortina steering wheel from the Rezin Rockit that was advertised for £25.00 and was going to come collect it next week. His workshop is a mile from the radio seller so John and I decided to buy the radio for £30.00 and save £60.00 plus deliver the steering to Darren for free, though he absolutely insisted on giving me £10.00 for the “Free Cash” savings kitty. I then got into his skip and rescued a wheel clamp with two keys that I have given to mate Martin for his trailer as well as some solid wheels and an axle, plus some scrap steel for my stash, all free. So a good day in the end, despite not making a load of progress on decluttering. It was also miserable with the temperatures around 6’C and a nasty cold breeze cutting through our bones. Called it a day by 4.45 Today John is back and trying to figure out the total clusterf#€k of duplicate and dead end wiring in the van. I am at the garage, continuing the clean up. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() More later. Its 12.45 already.
