It will be great if it turns out to be a fun car. Previously spoke about this. Contemplating it. Never actioned. Today I was thinking, while indoors, trying to rest with this bloody Covid. Do I add a 500mm drop down front façade below the red panel, to end up just above the level of themgarage door? It will help weather and rain proof the area a bit more when rain comes in hard from the East. I plan on painting it the equivalent of Castrol Green and adding some fake garge signage in Rwd onto it.

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Looks like a USA road trip is on again.
And a cheaper flight by around $130.00 or 100 English Pounds than the last one in 2019. Hopefully I can make it into Pueblo, Colorado to Snyders Junkyard to see what is available, with title and at a sensible price. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Still contemplating where to post the road trip report. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
10 minute job.
All I could get done today. @nickwheeler and I spoke about these lityle bits before. Why not sort them all when building originally. My excuse was running out of underseal. But a can of satin black works fine. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Plus some masking. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Jobby done. But I should not have. My eyes tell the true story. Knackered still. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Also masked the wheel arches while I was at it. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Much better after. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Another little tidying up job out the way. First 10 meter roll of webbing arrived today. Waiting for the 15 meter roll. |

Rian... You are a very driven man. You constantly fix, improve, tinker and create everything around you. Your space is very cool, the vehicles you touch are fantastic and the stories you tell are a great read. Thanks man, I don't comment often but I do keep up with the antics. By the way... it's maybe time to get back on the truck that brought us all together... maybe?

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Had lunch.
Job done. More to come, but the structural stuff is done for now. There is a “Plan B” for further damage control if needed, but not for now. Started off and stepped back, thinking errrrmmm…… NOPE. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Carried on, redid plate no 3 as it is different and was visibly wrong. Still not sure. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Then did numbers 4, 5 and a short 6 and it looked tatty. Started to add in the red, stabilising structural strip at the bottom….. Feeling better. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds And then the second part added made it look a lot better. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Finally added a short strip to the end where it meets the garage gable wall. Tidy enough now. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds A few more visual bits to add and it should look good enough. Also, the daylight is still more than enough in there. What shall I do next then? Tempted to mess with the Rezin Rockit but wiring is just not my thing. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Added a bit of detail.
Also did some small jobs like painting all the screws white etc. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds And happy with the result here. Just need to find the red hose for the pump and do a final assembly. Beer time I think. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
So after getting the carport job done I thought a simple job would be to get the contact adhesive out, mask the Rezin Rockit and wrap the centre bar in webbing, as the second 15 meters had been delivered today.
So I dismantled the two safety harnesses and started wrapping the centre bar. 10 meters of webbing as ordered off eBay. Until……… https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Seriously? 6 meters and then another 4 meter length. I was bloody livid, messaged the seller to ask him to resend a single 10 meter length as ordered. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds I am not even sure under what to file this sort of behaviour. Some time through the day I saw this French registered and built Jeep. I like the look. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds No roll bar though. Is it dangerous? . |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
It's become a great shop, you might as well go to the gas station, annoying with the belt. Dangerous... who knows, but we're also more scared today. or?

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Sunday afternoon and @nickwheeler laying down on the job.
https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds But the rear lights and splash guards were fitted, changed the screw in bracket to two pairs of Studs in order to make seating and tightening a lot easier. Ultimately, the wiring ended up entering high and on the opposite side, so original access now surplus. Should make a huge difference to splatter and keeping things clean out back. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Late afternoon photo when wrapping up for the first time (Nick likes to find more small jobs that need to be done) Lenses back on for the first time in a while. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds One of the jobs that kinda stalled was to get some automotive carpet in behind the pedals and onto the firewall, to cover the high density foam I previously added. I was not going to buy a roll of carpet just to use a 500x500 piece. So I rummaged in the bits of carpet from the original floor and found it…….. The original piece. Bucket of fairy liquid, washed followed by three rinses and set out to dry, it was a hot day. Edited and cut to fit as footwell dimensions have changed slightly. Brutal contact adhesive and fitted. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Next small job I needed to do, which had waited for the carpeting to get completed was a left side footrest. I had desperately wanted to use the one GRIZZ footrest that Andy in Oklahoma had cast for me. Only problem it turns out, was it was a right foot, so only good for an accelerator pedal. So I went to plan B which has laid in the wings for years. Can you tell what it is yet? ( I used to have a coffin shaped one too, gave it to,someone) https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Some planning, finding a long enough bolt to go through the floors etc. Remove the carpet before drilling, as you know what happens if you don’t. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Job done. Nick holding the i side down while I tightened up the Nyloc underneath as my arms would never reach. Really happy with the result. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds While I played with these cosmetic finishes, Nick continued to make up magical wiring harnesses, extending non extended, 10mm cut off wires etc to give us a pair of these…… Working. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds In the mean time again while he was measuring up the handbrake for missing parts that need custom making, I did some woodwork, after finding some solid Oak. Supports for the front indicators and marker lights to rest on when fitted. The new lights are slimmer by 20mm than the originals, so some filling in will need to be done. Part one. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Remember the small jobs Nick keeps finding after closing time? Back to the pedal box and clutch pedal. A 3mm change is needed to make things work more smoothly. No way we are adjusting the firewall etc. So out came this guy. Watch this space. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Weekend over. Thanks for checking in. |

Always worth asking everywhere.
WANTED: I am hoping to get extremely lucky here……… My 2001 ZQ8 S10 4.3 Extended cab and long bed has an Extang cover fitted. It is way beyond pretty, sort of still works, but a previous owner added cable ties to keep the cab end attached to the frame. They are not manufactured anymore. HOWEVER….. Does anyone have a very good used one, or even a led for a new unused one for sale? I will be in Wright City, Missouri near St Louis in Late August and first week of September.

4 hours on Teams, in training.
Enough to make me reach for the blunt razorblades. So after work around 5.15 I headed down, bucket of water and a lot of ambition. Dulllllllll as dull can be, https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds So G3 compound on a Scotch pad, followed by some electric polisher action, and more hand buffing. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Got me here. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Followed by T-Cut, Mer and Zymol polishes.

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Made a small handle last night from some climbing rope I had stashed away.
Started with a hangmans noose to create the handle and locking it in place. John the lodger was down here too. Celebrating their team “My Left Foot” coming 4th out of 70 teams at the Red Bull Soapbox race on Sunday. Certainly does not fit the bill for “disabled” He is always game for doing stuff, the riskier the better. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Mocked up.

Padded. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Then wrapped. I used contact adhesive spray on both lengths of foam to help the webbing grip and not shift. Once I made it to the last 300mm I added a narrow webbing loop into the wrap to aid pulling the end through and locking it in place once cut back. John the lodger suggested it as the most secure way to actually ensure it did not come unstuck. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Use the narrow webbing to pull the wide stuff through under the wrap. I adde a small length of masking tape over the contact glue to ensure the pull through was easier and did not get stuck halfway. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds And pulled through. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Cut off, and wrap pulled back, allowing me to tuck it in and pull the wrap over the end with long nosed pliers. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Harnesses refitted over the padding and seems to fit well. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Job done. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Really pleased with that result.

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Always said I was not going to do this job.
Getting it done by a refurbishment specialist would be £300.00 or more. But 5 plus hours of therapy, cleaning, prepping, masking repeatedly, followed by two cans of a louder Gold than was on there, and two large cans of Satin Black to cover the rear inside bands and front hub faces, re-inflating, detailing the axle hubs and drums in black made me very happy, despite the very hot day out there.

They need to be double 'make or break' and not 'changeover' like a lot of 5 post relays, But I still managed to get it wrong.

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Taken the day off tomorrow to spend some time on myself.
Yesterday a major cluster**** of a redundancy was announced, it will be swift and brutal it seems, wrapped up by end July, and nobody knows yet. It will be a surprise it seems. Nobody knows. So I raised the car once again on axle stands. And strung an old bedsheet in place as a dummy sun screen roof. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Spoke to a sailmaker today who is also prepared to look at the S10 bed cover. Maybe get two birds with one stone. Tomorrow, depending on how it unfolds, I want to go through all fasteners and ensure they are tight and right. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
I think there is a lot more progress here, even if not visible.
Problem now for Craig is that there is only he and his wife to try get the roof panels up. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Maybe I should try figure a way to go up next weekend, amd step away from the Rezin Rockit again. Will give it a think. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Walking past a skip, my eyes are drawn in there.
Walking the dog yesterday, the farm house had a new skip outside……. Unused, like new….. phone holder, that will work for the Rezin Rockit and my mobile phone when I need a Satnav. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Free really is good. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Carrying on with small jobs that are within my abilities had me check and mark off all underbody fasteners yesterday, my usual Red marking nail varnish seems to have disappeared, so,I opted for white, which does look rather rubbish on the black paint everywhere.
Still, another important job ticked off the list. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds My good friend Kevin popped around for a progress check,,chat and coffee in the afternoon, so I used him to give opinion and comments too. Also finalised the gearshift extension position and lock nut @nickwheeler had made and bolted the covering plate down for hopefully the last time. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Last late afternoon job was to final fix the modified fresh air intake inside the wheel arch, up high, facing back and out of harms way. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Shop shut early and then a drive and walk to go see how much hedgerow plums I could find for a batch of planned plum jam Yield is down this year, the fruit is a lot smaller and certainly a lot less than previously. So I may have to go search further afield. |

The extreme heat is driving the farmers to harvest fast. And the new guy, despite being it seems quite unfriendly, is driving his whole business with an extreme financial eye.

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Dry summer.
Hot days, relative to monsoon weather, has made the yield of wild fruit less than usual as @kevins and I both realised. So this year my fruit collection was in three different places. Near the vets was good for about 1.5kg and one of Sally, Bonnie and my walks has a few trees, of which only three had any accessible, usable fruit, it gave about 2.5kg as well, so I had 4kg by Saturday afternoon, stashed in the fridge. Perfect dog walking paths. Finding the fruiting trees becomes a game too. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Sunday I went looking about 7 miles from home on the isle of grain down the road my electrician lodger goes to,work, I recalled there was fruit when he came here last year…… https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Booooom as @pauly says. Jackpot. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Of course I had to share with this girl, I thought she was a boy…….. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Friendly. https://youtu.be/qZoM5jUZAsE About 6 varieties of plums all told in my collection that made up 12kg raw with stones. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Back home I cleaned them all, and weighed up the lot. 8kg from the trees in the lane, of course minus what the horses had. So a total of 12kg in fruit. I went to the village and bought 10kg of sugar as I use less than the traditional 1 to 1 mix of fruit, sugar and a cup of water per kilogram. Split the lot into 2 and 4 kilo and cooked them in two pots, with the stones in. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds MISTAKE. But I got the stones out when halfway through. Will do the second 6kg tonight after work. And will remove all the stones before cooking, another spectacularly shiite job, but has to be done. By 8.00pm I had bottled and cleaned up the kitchen. RESULT. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Part two tonight then. |

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
On the MX5 loom, just found these two items.
Anyone know what these two items actually do? Wired into the loom on the drivers side. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds And no, they are not labelled. Thank you. They're the fuel tank and carbon cannister solenoids. Your new fuel tank doesn't have the necessary plumbing for them. They're connected because I don't know if the ECU notices if they're not there, and so we don't keep looking at random unused electrical connectors. They are removed from the bulky components they are associated with. Nick |
