The first pic is what I started with. I've repaired the cracks in the wheel and it's ready for paint. Tried some paint on the horn cap.

Nice work!!!

That's a very cool idea. Are those advance design series handles? How about the connection to the latch. Is that going to be difficult or relatively easy? Nice to see something different.

Had Mobile Auto Glass come out and put in new windshield in my '62 - I figured they would fight it, but ONE guy put it in, in about an hour. He also reinstalled the rear window - the dude knew what he was doing! Now my truck looks so much better.....getting close to driving once again!

That's amazing. Most "one guy" stories on the 60-63 windhields don't go anywhere near that easy. Nothing like brand new glass to sparkle up any truck.

I did not take notes, but he did use the rope in the gasket channel, gasket around glass, and he put the bottom in first. After that, he worked his way up, going from one side to the other. He said it would've been better to do it in the spring or summer - it was around 50 degrees, and the rubber is not as flexible as it would be at 80+.

i did the same with my `64 although not as hard with mine, after a rock came thru it from a belly dump on the freeway the guy( from safelite ) came out had mine out and the new one in in 1 hour by himself, no scratched paint ( not that it mattered the way it looks now ) but was impressed.

Loaded up the '66 with tools and material and did a side job; drove home listening to some SRV :smoke:.

The last thing I did was add gear oil to the trans and rear-end. Whoo-hoo! Exciting.

I still can't get used to the smell of the GM posi. additive. Yuck!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 
Drove down the freeway screamin' at 3000rpm to go get some parts for the 'burb. My turn signals quit working and when I picked up my parts it turned out to be the flasher. Pulled one out of a 68 GMC and popped it in; good to go!!! Thanx Tom!

I started the body work on my 68 Chevy and :gmc2::chevy:I bought them a new stable mate, 6 cyl. PS, and shoulder belts, it is really fun to drive, I haven`t had a Nova in 10-12 years and could not pass it up for the price !!http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/w...s/PICT1555.jpg
