Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Don I love this wheel choice I think they are one of my favourite wheels
http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g1...psh4wmix0w.jpg I will try and paint the ones I got in the same style with a dark grey spoke and polished rim http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g1...ps9uynacyu.jpg |

Agreed, you can't beat 5 spokes with grey spokes and a polished rim, I'm going to paint the spokes on my 20's grey to try to copy this style, I'll just have one spoke to many:dohh:

For the 4th I made my sparks with my welder...:metal:
I started with getting the accelerator pedal mounting holes drilled, welded a plate over the original accelerator linkage hole in the firewall, then filled some extraneous holes in the firewall (via markeb01's method, coins and JB Weld.. Thanx Mark) :mm: For the plate to fill the old linkage hole, I cut a piece of the step side fender that I'd removed for the taillight buckets I frenched in…;) https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/397/19...9817513e_c.jpgIMG_4200 by Donald Olivo, on Flickr https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/346/19...1487132c_c.jpgIMG_4201 by Donald Olivo, on Flickr Here's the hole to be covered… https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/481/18...e806be05_c.jpgIMG_4202 by Donald Olivo, on Flickr Here's the new setup loosely sitting in it's location with the plate welded and primed… https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/515/19...2a5b54c1_c.jpgIMG_4204 by Donald Olivo, on Flickr Here's the square hole for the accelerator cable… https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/349/18...468e7c75_c.jpgIMG_4205 by Donald Olivo, on Flickr Here's the hole filling process… https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/408/19...8f5e4d79_c.jpgIMG_4206 by Donald Olivo, on Flickr Here's the new firewall pad laid out… Thanx to Bret for the info on the place this was ordered from…;) https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/448/19...32d37f72_c.jpgIMG_4207 by Donald Olivo, on Flickr Tomorrow it's time to apply some Peel and Seal, then install the pad...:metal: :chevy: |
