I have headlights and brake lights!!!

Windshield installed too...

E911manager · 01-26-2013, 05:08 PM

Poor man's dent puller. A 7/16 by 8 inch bolt nut and washer and a big socket. worked great.

Hung the Queens City AC unit, found the problem with the dash lights. It was the dimmer switch. Bypassed it and they work. Worked on a door today. Found some rust behind the door handle while I was stripping it. Cut it out and worked on skimming it.

Here is a pic of the of the dash lit up. It was not running so there was an extra lights on..

E911manager · 02-03-2013, 09:09 PM

Queen city AC unit hung in place. Have to do some more cable management... Looking for place to run the AC and heater lines.

**jayoldschool** · 02-03-2013, 11:57 PM

You should consider the Z28 cluster swap for that. I did it in my 95 SS, and it is sweet.

likaroc13 · 02-04-2013, 12:18 AM

glad to see you making more progress...keep up the good work!

I have been looking at this conversion on line. Was the wrong pretty much plug and play? I don't se a tach feed in the existing harness.

For now I an digging the digital dash but definitely on my list.

Thanks Zane. I really want to be done, you should see more action in the coming months..

Glad to see you're back working on your truck and making great progress again.

Threedog · 02-06-2013, 01:44 PM

That digital dash looks great! Way better than those aftermarket ones.

Thanks Threedog, some may not agree, but after 15 months to ponder on the idea

E911manager · 02-09-2013, 12:02 AM

Back window INSTALLED!!! Fit after a little trimming...

C@rnut001 · 02-09-2013, 12:07 AM

It is looking good, keep up the great job and thanks for updating us on your progress.

E911manager · 02-10-2013, 09:04 PM

Made the battery box. I opted to build one instead buying one. I feared they were to deep and I could have some clearance issues if I go lower. Took out all the old battery cables and installed new cables. Moved the ground to back of the head instead the front. Got a coat of paint on the new metal but didn't take a pic.. Now a little more cable management..

wraprail · 05-24-2013, 05:42 AM

Any updates ???

E911manager · 05-24-2013, 03:08 PM

Well thanks for asking... It is slow going. I think I have about 25 hours in each door.. These pics are a couple of weeks old but I have them sitting with a couple of coats of high build primer now. Starting to skim the hood too.. I media blasted the doors, hood and cowl before I started. I have my drivers fender and passenger fender is on order.

I hope to hang my doors this week end and get them ready for paint. Then maybe I can get some interior going.

E911manager · 05-24-2013, 03:19 PM

I also picked up some tan seats out of 04 chevy with integrated seat belts, console and cup holders. I decided to go this route for now because I really want to drive it and thought it would be more comfy for my old tail...

E911manager · 05-25-2013, 11:02 PM

Bought some wheels from a fellow 67-72 chevy truck guy that I met via Craigslist. I finally got the doors mounted and lined up. A little more tweaking and sanding and they will be ready for paint. I put a fender on just to check if things line up...

So how low should I go??

It is all coming together...

likaroc13 · 05-26-2013, 12:48 AM

Nice! Good to see you're still making progress. I really like those wheels. Those the Eagle 225's?
