Re: What did you do to your truck today!

No fresh pics today. Over the last three days I hooked up with a guy that's coming to the shop to straighten out the lines, do body work, and paint. Hourly deal. We'll get to know each other as we go along.
But I feel good about his qualifications. And building the paint booth at the shop is far better (because of my previous mess ...one year at someone's shop who said eight weeks... ),
than sending it off to paint jail.

Installed the Vintage Air evaporator in the cab. Re-bent and installed some stainless fuel line from the carb to the fuel pump. New radiator hoses top and bottom.
Began the install of some stainless steel brake lines, starting at the m/c, down to the prop. valve, and the first two lines down passed the frame.

Because the cab is a '68, and the evap needed to be moved to the right 4", I had to cut a little more out of the fire wall for the one Vintage Air hard line.
Made a template for the aluminum plate that's going on the fire wall.
