Hottest day of the year so far and I mounted a Tach in the Right side of my Gauge Cluster…

Sits a tad deep, but will be readable nonetheless...:chevy:

Just gotta polish up my other original lens that I picked up recently, it's in better shape than this one…;)

I also picked up another bench seat that will either end up in the 65 or the 72 I just traded for…
The seat was free from a friend that has had it in a shed for a handful of years…

Looking good Don. Seat looks to be 67-72, should fit just fine.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Thanks Jon...:mm:
The box arrived today, checked it out and neglected to get any pics yet...:dohh: but I am very pleased with the contents… Thank You!!!

I also received a package from Martin, aka mjh1965, and found a cache of these along with a T-Shirt that the wife quickly claimed…;)

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

No problem. Glad to find a home for it and see it go to some use.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

A long time ago, pre 90's, there used to be Marathon Candy bars sold here, these are the same, only they are sold in the UK and not in the states, made by Cadbury… Caramel and chocolate...:metal:

:metal:

Oh Yeah!!! :metal::metal::metal: No power anything makes for an interesting drive…

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Not much to update… Work has been crazy and the wife and I are trying to put the house back together after getting her daughter and grandkids moved out…;)

I had recently posted a pic of the resistor with in the back of my heater diverter box which came out in 2 pieces when I pulled the box from the cab… 1963c-10 offered me one and it arrived...:metal:
This past Tuesday I received a box from Jon aka 1963c-10… he had a 65 heater assy that he didn't need, so he was kind enough to box it up and send my way… Lots of great people out here, Thanks again Jon…:mm:

Here's a couple of pics…
The resistor is in one piece...:bann:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

I feel ya brotha....I been so stinkin tired after these long work weeks...plus its been in the high 90's low 100's round here so I ain't been to motivated! lol But I have been sanding on the frame...might even be painting next weekend. Never know. :chevy:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Not much done this weekend… although I was able to get the heater diverter box painted and put together thanx to Jon…;)

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Looks like new now. Nice!

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Turned out real nice, did you fit a new cable?

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Watching the weather I see it has been hot up your way, but at least at night you still get a cool down…;) Although we haven't topped the 100 degree mark yet, it has been in the mid 90s with extreme humidity, the kind where when you walk outside you immediately sweat…:waah: hard to get motivated unless there is a fan or water and food involved...:metal: See pics below

Thank You Sir! :flag:

Thanks mate! No new cable, just wire brushed the casing and lubed it up. :mm:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Just glad it got there in one piece and that you were able to use it Don!

Looks great after being cleaned up!! And yeah.....not uncommon for me to save old painting paper for shipping.

I think I found an original Harrison core (used) that will fit that heater also. I'll get some pics and run the numbers on it.........

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Just got the fire up as well.

Martin should be getting here in 20 minutes.

German Bratwurst.
Pork spare ribs
English Cumberland sausages.

Ohhh and some wine (dont often drink it but bottle was open)

Seems like a good evening ahead.

PS. Your air system has turned out real nice.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Thanks Brother!!! :uhmk:

Thanks mate!:mm:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

I think I'll come to your house and jump in the pool. Lol.
