Finished the exhaust back to the muffler, dropped the tranny pan to install the kickdown cable and a new filter, put the torque converter bolts in, and finished up the shifter linkage today. |

I also finished wet sanding and paint on the back wall of the cab and installed the rear and corner glass. |
Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Nice install on the glass, that can be a b**ch...Jim
|
Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Jim, thanks... the corner glass is easy, the one that sucks is the rear window. Fanned near impossible to do it without a second person on the inside. But eventually I managed it. Lol

Now we are moving along on the body harness wiring! Pic 1,2,3 |
Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Nice work and great detail! Really like the radio behind the grill too. Wondering which power window product you used?
Thanks for sharing. |
Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Thanks AD. I use ez wiring's power window kit (universal). It is relatively in-expensive, straight forward design, and works quite well in these doors. Just enough travel to fully close the window, yet allow it to open far enough to be below the trim when the window is down.

Cecil was missing all the accessory brackets so I purchased a 1991 Camaro Engine for $150 and salvaged all the parts I could. Here's the before and after of the Dona Camaro. I stole everything, including the water pump. |

After hours of cleaning and painting, the front end of the motor is together. Notice I had to change the water pump... The 87 had a normal flow pump, while the 91 had a reverse flow. Everything fit like a glove. In order to delete the smog pump and clear the K&N air filter I had to re-route the serpentine belt, while keeping all the pulley's spinning the right direction. |
Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Looks sweet, nice clean up on the parts...Jim

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
I'm shocked that Chris does in 2 days what has taken me the better part of a year to do-and I have nowhere near the rust that most of his builds have.
Really nice to see. |
