This area gets tricky as the bracket wants to pull the gasket out of the C channel

Windex makes it slid better, but the trade off is that it also comes out of the channel easily

Taking notes on your vent window build ... good info.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Thanks CG will keep that in mind as I progress, nice to know and thanks for stopping by

Found this on a shelf, light 100 grit sand and go buy some semi gloss paint

Trying to figure out a way to wrap my ancillary tube

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

What is the ancillary tube?

What do you think about the lokar shifter? I am considering ordering one for a different project I have.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Looking good not sure how I would wrap it either?? You will think of something I will need to hide some of the additional wires (new harness with more options I won’t be using at least for now AC ELEC FAN etc. )under my dash

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

I could be wrong but it is the metal tube that flows the hot trans fluid to the gauge

First lokar shifter I bought was the body mount system, didn't like the idea of it flexing with body roll so I changed it to the trans mount, much better, very adaptable

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Thanks for stopping by,, I'm thinking wrapping it around a can or pipe, then welding 2 ends to it for some feet (bracket) to mount it on the trans cover

We'll see how things work out

I thought the 55 wagon was cool, then I see the Pontiac, way cooler. Hope you don't run out of garages

Re: PO has me PO'd

Need to add a little more dimension to the ring

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

If it is like the coolant temperature gauges, with the probe and metal tubing to the gauge- it is a capillary tube.

It might look good coiled up under the dash, behind the gauage how you have it pictured.

Are you making a new aluminum shift boot ring, or some kind of spacer?

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

You're right, it is a capillary tube, I'll blame it on a senior moment

I just have to make the ring wider to cover the hole in the trans. Cover

Sorry for the delay, been suffering from back pain last 5 weeks

Took a page from my Bridgeport clamping system and adapted to my work table

I hate to cut sheetmetal on my lap

Inverse of convex, equalls mind numbing, 2 different plains meet at this juncture

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

For some reason, I couldn't replicate the first piece I made, I'll call it a senior moment,

Finally after days of thinking I put the part on my V block and was able to tap in the convex shape I needed

Well, yesterday turned into an act of futility, just couldn't get the 1/4 round out, had I known this, I would have built it leaving it in

Oh well more tap,tap

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Well that seems to be closer to what I want

Just need to cut a diagonal to form better to the inner wheel well

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Looking good, and like a lot of work, but still good.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Thanks Bud, if one of 2 things had happened I wouldn't be in this mess.........1 had the company taken the time to form the lower flange better...........B I had 800.00 for a shipped bed side

Did you get the power train fixed?

If you blow up pis you can see there is a rounded nub on the right side and squared off on the left

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

By cutting down pickup weatherstrip, will you omit the molded end at the top of the rear door?

I can't really tell what part that is, but I hope you don't find more like that like that... Is that a fender well?

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

ARRRGH your right didn't think of that, I'll have to look into that,

That would finish it off nicely
