Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
Got a little more accomplished today.
Installed the remaining window regulator on driver's side. Installed the inside door and window handles w/escutcheons. Found a busted spring for the driver's side door latch control. Installed the original (manual) radio antenna. http://ilsiciliano.net/truck/DSC06530.JPG http://ilsiciliano.net/truck/DSC06531.JPG http://ilsiciliano.net/truck/DSC06533.JPG |

Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
Drilling the doors would have made me nervous as hell.. Ya did great!

Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
Thanks man! My brother did the drilling btw. We readjusted valve lash (pics above) and replaced the valve cover gaskets with thick Fel-Pro #375-1604 gaskets.

Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
Times have changed it seems. Not a lot of activity in the Projects thread. Did everyone up and take off?
|
Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
Probably spring fever..... Still looking for updates every day. Oh, all the pic's on post 1201 and 1202 are dreaded red X's.

Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
I think your right. Spring break. Those pics are showing for me. Maybe try a different browser. Plan on taking the 71' to its first car wash this weekend (if it doesn't rain) since being painted. I'm getting lazy in my old age :lol:

Ah, Was at work with Explorer, now at home with Firefox i see the pic's..

Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
Maybe if it's nice I'll try and snap some pics after the wash. Man, I've still got small stuff left to do. Like put the badges on, hook up the radio, re-torque engine nuts/bolts and change the oil another time after break-in. :sumo:

Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
Still cleans up great. My brother did an awesome job. :metal:

Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
First one I've missed in while. We park just up there on the right. Some of the Arkie's were there.
Where's your truck? |
Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
I'm not a member yet. My truck is right next to me.
You can't tell - but the pic above is looking in from outside a locked gate/fence off of Dean Ave. I believe it was. :lol: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/...ium/modela.jpg |
Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
I enjoy this show because we can park, sit in a lawn chair, and watch the cruisers.

Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
Well, nothing new accomplished lately. When this humidity calms down I'll be out in the garage more. Midwesterners should know what this is. Barn find - literally, an lama barn find in western IA :lol: It cleaned up nicely. I'll try and get more recent pics of it posted.
