Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Washed the truck for the first time since I got it back from the body shop. Also got the wife to drive it around the block for the first time with the new fuel injection system on it.

Added a oil pressure guage...not in your usual location. I have a guage in the dash, but it only has graduation marks. I want to know he numerical number. I attempted to tee into the line that goes to the back go the block next to the dizzy, but no luck in finding a tee that would work. And I could not get the plug above the oil filter to budge, so I put it up front. I seem to be alway messin with some thing under my hood so I figured this spot would be perfect. I have pretty good pressure at idle...~25psi.

Charged the Vintage Air system. Good day to do it. Hot day in Buffalo, NY. Hit 91-degrees.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Cage in progress. Bout half done....Going to need to find a powdercoater soon.

It's not a certified cage as you can see. It's pieced together 2.5" 3/16 wall. It won't be as strong as contimuous tube, but will at least be able to mount the seats and belts to it. Better than nothing and all the tubing was FREE! Thinking it will get a bikini top eventually.

Yet to do, seat bars... 2 more runners along the top....and make pipe gussets where the side runners and the vertical hoops tie together.

Went to The Long beach Hot RodSwap meet looking for " KROIL " , no luck this time and i really need some ~ anyone know where to buy it off the shelf in So. Cal. ?

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Nate, you can order it direct from the manufacturer at Kanolaboratories.com I've never seen it in the stores. I became aquainted with it by working in the refineries and industrial sites.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I just checked, and you can buy it on amazon

Most major fastener shops carry it. I have a few cans, if I was closer I'd give you a can until you got some.

I took the 3 top bolts out of the gas tank....can't find my extension....so waiting for that so I can get the bottom 4 bolts and seat belts out.

If I can, I'll take out the carb and see what rebuild kit I'll need.

*I got the bumper guards I bought off of here....OMGOSH THEY ARE HUGE!

Re: Re : Aero Koil Deal
 

Glad you found what you needed, I buy a box full of stuff from there once a year. If you get on their email list they send out specials several times a year.

Re: Re : Aero Koil Deal
 

Glad ya found it, that's where I get it for the jobsites. You're right it is good stuff. Another one requested alot is S'OK! by Shamrock Specialties Inc in Palestine, TX. The guys swear by this stuff also.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Today I finished collecting all the parts for the final push at the body shop. All the last bits and pieces are boxed up for the trip to the shop in the morning. It has been in paint jail for quite awhile now.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Went out to it a few minuites ago and found my rear view mirror on the floor. Guess it got too hot or maybe it's one of the other things the P.O. did.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Since I just bought it Saturday, I had the title transferred into my name....

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

If you are moving to Dallas.... In Denton, TX is a company called Camoliner.com they specialize in New Jeeps and such doing complete exterior work. Look them up. Plus as a bonus the can do graphics and there stuff is Kevlar based.

I'm going to have them do the underside in black and paint match the bed on my 70 as well as have my sons Z71 done completely.
