Re: Daverods project 66
 

been to phoenix arizona to visit nathan at his shop , its a verry different heat all together ,
i realy wasnt used to it i usually got up at sunrize and whent back in my room at mid day to sleep cause i couldn't walk for a minute without a drink of water
whent to a carshow near there too and walked from aircoed burgerjoint to aircoed tankstation making pics along the way , i was verry impressed with the quality of those cars at the show people spend a lot of effort and cash to get there cars just right for them
i made a small clip of a 69 camaro there with an engine that sounded like it could be used as the main propulsion for the titanic

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Put my fender patches on. Installed my transmission.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

One fender was rusted in the front, just filled it with a piece of dash. Had to order some more patches for where the fenders attach to the cab. Figure I'll have about $110 for two fenders. Not to bad.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

So what was the damage/repairs to the transmission??

Re: Daverods project 66
 

First gear and reverse where messed up pretty bad the main thing was the gaear that drives first and reverse was missing a tooth. Got out of the place for $850. It's all together except for the linkage from the petal to the shift fork. ;) Can't wait to go for a drive.:smoke:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Yeah I can't wait either and it is getting closer. I am about ready to start it just to hear it run again. Hooking the linkage to the carb for the kickdown detent cable is being a royal pain. the old sideways Rochester B carb is a problem . I may just upgrade to a side pull linkage 2 barrel carb or turn the "B" a quarter turn CW so the linkage pulls in line with the motor.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Suck. Got my transmission in and ready to go. Then it snows.:waah: I told myself I would never let my trucks get wet so maybe tomorrow.:smoke:

Re: Daverods project 66

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Man that snow is awesome looking.........All we ever get is rain, I wish it would snow knee deep here.

Re: Daverods project 66

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Got the parts the fix my fenders. Welded it up. One side done one to go.:uhmk: Nice thing about body work is it takes time and don't cost a lot.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Good job kiddo. ;)

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Thanks Dennis. Doing the drivers side today.:smoke: Floor not as bad as the other side. Need to order some rockers. Just not sure what I need yet. I don't think I need a full rocker. I might just try to get by with using a door bottom. Well just got 10 lbs of wire and I need to go burn it up. I think I starting to get the hang of this welding thing. Least now I don't try to weld rust together.:lol::lol: I love this stuff. I wish I would have started in High School. If I would have, maybe I would have a truck I could driver by now. My goal is to be just like you. Scary huh.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Very scary. :haha:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Good news we have the material ,some skills, and 10lbs of wire.:smoke::smoke:I think we can save her.:lol: Cancer did'nt get to the bone.:mm: Bet I took 5 lbs out of that cab support. What do they do fill them up at the factory?

Re: Daverods project 66
