Yes, but I need the roof bondo finished before I attempt it.

drewskiren · 04-26-2011, 09:45 PM

I met with another body man tonight who can start in a week at my place. If the other guy bombs out, I've got backup now.

drewskiren · 04-26-2011, 10:14 PM

I got my short sweep water temp sensor and metric adapter today, but ran into a little problem. The end of the sensor would not fit into the adapter completely. I carefully drilled out the adapter base to fit the sensor end down into it. It worked perfectly, and now I need to screw it into the rear of the passenger head where this plug resides now.
What should I coat the threads with?
Yes, I know I have a manifold bolt to fix too.

That's how we do it in freeway construction too. Just gotta watch out for change orders and force account.

silverboy02 · 04-28-2011, 06:33 PM

Good deal, I hope he did you a great job on getting her straight

drewskiren · 04-28-2011, 07:00 PM

Making room for my baby.

drewskiren · 04-28-2011, 07:05 PM

It looks pretty good. He did miss a few small spots and the corners at the top body line could use a tiny bit more massaging, but overall looks nice - especially the roof. Whatever is left is stuff I can handle.

Newtz67 · 04-28-2011, 07:37 PM

Sweet! I agree with the teflon tape for the adapter also.

heavy_duty · 04-28-2011, 08:55 PM

Man that truck is plain old BAD TO DA BONE.If I knew of a body guy that could do that treatment to my 68 burb.It would be a done deal.Oh well I will just follow your build.
