Yesterday I replaced my speedometer cable and bullet in my 3 speed Saginaw transmission. I finally have a working speedometer!! Yea, so happy about that.

Last Friday, I replaced my old, worn out, and sloppy Mr. Gasket shifter to a Hurst 3 speed shifter. Oh man, I love the way it shifts now, clean, quick, and precise. Night and day difference.

Replaced hinge pins and bushings, easy task. Aligning the doors was not quite so fun. What is the best tool for the bolts on the front of the hinge, with fender on?

I feel his pain. Horrible paint job, but miserable stuff, I've had far more success removing powder coat with aircraft paint remover.

Any reason to polish these? They'll already be far nicer than anything else on this truck. Depending on model, nothing tops vintage cyclone to me. My C-20 already has a set, but the rears are $450 a tire too big.

OT: Discovered there are at least two types of cyclone western turbines. One has an option for a push through hub cap as opposed using lug nuts.

I bought these, cuz they're cheap;)https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=...AAAAAdAAAAABAF

Mine where 5-1/8 diameter for my 8 lugs

The height looks cool :metal:, but what’s your LCA ground clearance?

Bypassed my heater core. Found antifreeze running down the firewall and into the shop floor. Guess it gave up the ghost. Add it to the repair list.

I used this wrench to reach the back bolts. It was slow and tedious, not perfect, but got it done.

I went by the exhaust shop this morning. $130.00 to run the exhaust to the stacks. I thought was very good price. He said bring it over Friday!
I bought 2-4" clamps and cut the old ones off. I clamped it to the headache bar it ant going no place.

I had to cut 2-1/4" holes on each corner of the bed. The first picture is looking up through it to the top of the stack!

Got the Broski's truck fired up this weekend, found a few leaks and had to pull off the intake manifold to reseal the rear. At least we caught it now so it wasn't too bad.

After getting that done we set the timing and she fired up great. I gotta say I'm impressed by how easy this newer EFI stuff is making it.

I posted a video of the kid starting his truck up over on my Instagram. Here's a quick link: https://www.instagram.com/p/B9PILuPJKXw/

Thanks, I will look for one like that. Or perhaps I could make one by heating an old cheap wrench with a torch and bending it .

Did the front half of my headliner on the 77. Really dont want to do the back it was a pain in the butt. Think if they didn't use foam it would still be up there . Foam failed not the glue

I made two of them with ratchet type head one for loosing and one for tightening. Easy to do just heat it up and bend the crap put of it

Worked in a restoration shop on long island . I have polaroids of it but I believe this is the one since it's one of one 1929 Bentley made for the Paris auto show . The car had been cut up during WWII and was used as a tanker on an RAF airfield . Owner was adamant about leaving the holes in the frame from it being strafed by the luftwaffe. I did the aluminium came as a rough piece I shaped it sanded it to a mirror shine . Took 6 weeks my arms were shot. This was in 1978 .

Got the drivers side step for the bed in rust remover to get it clean for priming. Hope to get both sides in epoxy primer by end of weekend. Pulled vent door from passenger side and vacuumed out at least 5 pounds of leaves and junk. Still needs more work but gonna pull drivers side as well.

Started routing out the cracks in my 67's new steering wheel in preparation for epoxy. It is going to look at lot worse before it looks better.

Stripped the door panels out. Two tiny holes. Think I may have one of the best sets of doors around. I was stoked about not needing to reskin or patch the shell extensively. Installed the 4in rear drop springs and track bar. Working on spindles today.
