They're made for motorcycles, I got it off Amazon. The new ones have blue tooth built in, I use a small adapter.

Metaldoc · 04-15-2019, 12:51 AM

Working on installing some new front speakers, made a new bracket and think about what I did with the old speaker screw. It pays to be organized, it was blasted, painted and stowed in the bag marked dash.

**RodnRudy** · 04-17-2019, 06:42 PM

I made some progress buttoning up the rebuilt engine for Old Red. All I have to do is put on the exhaust manifolds and it's ready to plunk down in the engine bay. I went ahead and primed the oil and set the distributor in on #1 so I won't have to crawl in the engine compartment to do that.

Linkman440 · 04-14-2019, 09:18 PM

Finally got my grille guard installed

rjs53 · 04-14-2019, 09:23 PM

Finished the door seals and window felts, put door panels on and got the dash painted and put back together. Next week windshield and alignment.

Blue18 · 04-18-2019, 05:09 AM

3 inch lowering spring and 2 inch block in the rear. New bilstein shocks and adjustable panhard bar!!!

OregonNed · 04-18-2019, 11:05 AM

I did some web research and ordered new inner door panels that will be arriving today. It was a bit of a wait for them to be customized. Will post pictures when I get them in.

**Thrill4130** · 04-18-2019, 09:37 PM

I got my camper on and bolted up last night. I made some mounts for stake pockets. Needs a back door , insulation and couple other things but it’s on.

looking good, I like your pocket mounts.

**Canuckvetter** · 04-20-2019, 10:28 PM

I bored out 67 wiper knobs to 1/4" and added some aluminum tape to simulate deluxe knobs. Added the knobs to my under dash A/C unit. Fabbed up some brackets and installed the under dash unit.

The vibration may be from pinion angle under the weight of a full tank. Ya may need shims in the mounts.

67_C-30 · 04-21-2019, 08:28 PM

Sanded and painted my 6” steelies for the front and waiting on the 8’s to get back from sandblasting to put my “new” ‘72 on steelies.

**71CHEVYSHORTBED402** · 04-25-2019, 11:54 PM

Swapped out a battery box is all. The bolts can be a real (^( without pulling the radiator. The box I wanted is solid. I don't see any pitting, but know better. Hopefully it suits my rebuild.

Pulled the RH skirt off the same truck recently. Fitted a few skirts on it, practice

I was hoping to use it for the rebuild as well. Nice fender, but too much rust in front. So I'm in the hunt for a RH fender. That or pair of replacements.

Cleaned up 4 horn buttons. Disassembled. Polished out scratches starting with 220 grit wet sand worked up to 7000 grit.

**SoCoC10** · 04-26-2019, 07:55 PM

Finished my interior too

**70STOVEBOLT** · 04-26-2019, 09:48 PM

Mostly, neglected and drank some beer, but I did finish blasting the air cleaner, shot the first coat of paint on it. Sorry, no pics, it’s at work.

Gotta get after my interior and dash. Interior is shot and I want to get more instrumentation than the stock gauge dash has.

Metaldoc · 04-27-2019, 12:16 AM

Mines all back as well.

**Ol Blue K20** · 04-27-2019, 07:55 PM

I like it a lot!! How's it run? I'm guessing good as it looks.....

**Thrill4130** · 04-27-2019, 11:33 PM

I tried getting my horn setup fixed. I was missing the pin. Also went to car show and saw this cool carryall.

It runs well so far. The ride is "firm" being lowered that much but I like it that way.

**SoCoC10** · 04-29-2019, 10:02 AM

First car show of the year.

**70STOVEBOLT** · 04-29-2019, 10:06 AM
