Re: PO has me PO'd
Got some time to cut off the last flange on the exhaust manifold, cutoff wheels do a very good job on cast iron, just a little filing and ready for coating

Re: PO has me PO'd
Don't really need any large parts, except bed wood and paint (to include body work). Sourkraut (John) bought some bedsides and header panel off him though.
I asked when he was having a banana eating contest at the show! I figure the local Hooters girls are available for a dual promotion event!:bann: |

Re: PO has me PO'd
got the seats recovered, what a 8 month ordeal that was, that story could be a novel, most unpleasant part of the restore so far!!!
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...hinTrip312.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...hinTrip311.jpg changed the hot air choke over to electric, pretty simple and straight forward. Just switched out the guts w/ one screw http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...hinTrip308.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...hinTrip274.jpg Ol' Faithful...God Bless America http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...hinTrip235.jpg |

installer jerked me around on the price, increased it 3x. borderline bad business The only 2 positives were the 2 board members, 6T727T2 and low and slow. They were both great to deal with Quote:

Re: PO has me PO'd
How are you going to wire up your choke? I know the red is going to go to power, but how about the other one? Does it just go to ground? What decides if its on or off?

The seats look great :metal:

Re: PO has me PO'd
Here are the newest addition to the mods and parts to the project...
didn't like the console that came with the B&M shifter, so I changed to Lokar, boots and rings seem to be a better fit. Trans, cooling lines came from In line Tube. Now, just need some time... http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...hinTrip316.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...hinTrip317.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...hinTrip314.jpg |
Re: PO has me PO'd
Cool parts :metal:
|
Re: PO has me PO'd
I like those lokar rings a lot!

Re: PO has me PO'd
so does that shifter have detents for positive 1-2 and 2-3 shifts? Or could use easily overshoot 2nd and hit OD or even N?
A buddy is offering me a 2nd gen f-body shifter...it would just need a console of some sort. Even though its OEM...those shifters had detents (apply right pressure to shifter while moving forward forced lock into next detent) so you could slam 1-2 and 2-3 w/o hitting N. |

I'd say go for it!! Sounds like a better shifter for your needs |
Re: PO has me PO'd
I had been thinking of going with a B&M Truck Megashifter. I want to get away from the column shift because it won't be as accurate as I will need for burnouts, shifts during passes, etc. I'm not pleased with the look of the Megashifter...but its more about function then appearance.
Now....if their Unimatic shifter or this Lokar gave me positive upshift detents...I'd go that way. |
