Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up
So .. is about time for an update
In the summer I have done very little because of other things that required more attention , but we're back full on and I have a new deadline : April 2014 the heap must be able to drive . What did I do in the meantime? E -brake pedal mounted and connected, brake lines connected , filled and bled ... do not laugh when you see the pictures of the brake lines , it was my first time and its good for now, but I'll redo them some other time. it works and there is room enough .. to be sure I have bought a new brake force distribution , because the Original one was on was not suitable for power-assisted disc brakes . rear window mounted , I opted for the standard window that was in the new cab and not the slider because I just don't like it welded all the holes in my doors , primed and painted ... unfortunately we did rush spraying the doors...because you don't see it in the pictures , but they are not, how shall i put this..nice. Anyway, something more for a future winter project. here is my to do list : Make the columnshift work , because I have various brackets and rods but just doesn't line up the way I would like . In conjunction with this I think my steering column also is not 100% , but it will be in due course . Wiring up the truck. I bought a new tree EZ -wiring set and it is easy because on each cable it says what it is ... but then again .. I could use some help , so if anyone is good with wiring and wants a holiday in the Netherlands to help me ..mi casa su casa. Heater repair and installation , no idea what I 'm going to come across here. front Windshield mount, I just ordered it , and still have to pick it up. Doors are painted and now everything can go back together , window mechanism , door handles , rubbers etc etc. Mount the exhaust, there were two side pipes on it , not my taste, so I want one thick pipe to the back, or two regular sized pipes adjacent to the rear . Will buy some loose bends and pipes and then weld, weld and weld some more. upholstery, including the seat .. needs to be re-done..gosh I'm sure I'm leaving out a tone of stuff..but we'll start with this and then see what **** can hit the fan. What do I still have to buy .. Or new headlights or brackets / holder things if they can be bought seperatly?(where do you buy that ? ) Exhaust silencer ( s ) Steering column ? ( .. parts .. ? ) heater parts Soundproofing mat , door / floor / dashboard trim And probably tons of small junk that I forget to mention Here some pictures : the doors in color Wooden steeringwheel sand blasted puzzle pieces , called gear selector rods and the like the better brake spaghetti work there is indeed a new resident in the workshop
