20130815_103812 by jarosaj, on Flickr Got more fittings and russell pro hose in...( thanks JJK for the product info), found out that jegs fittings are about a 1/3 the price of russell. Putting the hose end on requires the use of grease on the threads Have to build a bracket to support the hoses coming around the power steering These are the clamps and some of the fittings im using....i just realized why they are a 1/3 the price,damn http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3678/9...c552a1f1_c.jpg 20130815_113410 by jarosaj, on Flickr |

Re: PO has me PO'd
If John is bored I could always bring one of mine up for him to tinker with. :lol:

Re: PO has me PO'd
LOL, I wish I could be bored. The wife is keeping me busy catching up around the house. So far I've painting soffits, wicker furniture, bed rooms and even fixed a oil leak on my sons cabrio. Boy the garage seems big when the vw is in it.

20130903_141608 by jarosaj, on Flickr I have to remove shock mount to be able to flare tubing, gotta luv removing rivets! I think my mistake is using a pointy driver. Ill try and use a drift pin punch, and see if that drives it out better...2 hours spent on one rivet, and 1 hour cleaning out the truck bed At least i have the fuel lines bent, kinda worried about that, didnt want it to look sloppy. Have to build a 1/4" standoff to clear some of the rivets that are in the way of placement of fuel and return lines. Also, i want to incorperate a clamp to secure my wiring harness on its way to the back |
Re: PO has me PO'd
Jim,
Make sure the vinyl is specific for vehicle wraps and not just regular vinyl. The wrap vinyl makes it a lot easier to conform to the curves of a vehicle. I assume you are going with the 3M 1080 color series? I would also suggest using 3M primer94. it can be brushed on and you only need it in concave areas and complex contours. It will take several people to handle the sheets of vinyl most likely. I have actually thought about wrapping the panel truck and blazer to save funds for now. I am just now getting my feet wet doing vehicle wraps so I figure I better practice on my own. Richard |
Re: PO has me PO'd
You have a wood floor in your blazer? I just now noticed that :dohh:

I had debated on putting a wood floor in mine if the steel was to rotten, just because I hadnt seen it done before.

Well, since the build is coming to an end....figured i would look at the rear drums. Holy crap, batman, what a mess. This PO took care of nothing, so its time to start sources rear brake parts, and sandblast http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7413/9...4000afe5_c.jpg 20130904_141136 by jarosaj, on Flickr http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5445/9...a789341c_c.jpg 20130904_123450 by jarosaj, on Flickr |

Re: PO has me PO'd
Gone are the days of honing out the wheel cylinders, and buying the rebuild kit. At $9.49, its a no brainer....NAPA had all parts in stock except the adjuster kit, will be here on tues.
Wire brushed and coated with master series rust prevention Thank goodness i didnt take the other side apart, i already forget how it goes back together. Service Manual isnt much help....oops, i was wrong, i had the wrong service manual. I was looking at the Van-Sportvan, instead of the 10-30 Truck manual poser http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7431/9...5cef3b98_c.jpg 20130907_133516 by jarosaj, on Flickr |
