Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!

I've been wondering if I have ADD lately...
Been working on a bunch of different things.
I kinda want to start this thing up before putting the front fenders on.
I really want to know that everything is cool with the motor before encapsulating everything!
Spent a bunch of time tracing out engine wiring, figuring out the radiator hoses, getting the correct...or at least a pitman arm that would work!!
I also made some cool plugs for the air tubes in the headers to eliminate the smog BS!
I also spent countless hours mocking-up the steering column shaft, & making sure that all of the electrical connectors on the column inside the cab would work, and not interfere with the brake pedal assembly...What a PITA!!!
Man, I feel like I have endless things to do!!!
My main goal this weekend was to bend & hook-up stainless fuel lines, but never even touched on it!!!
Here are some boring pics!!!





Air-tube plugs in the headers were made from modified cummins diesel oil-pan drain plugs!


I got the Pitman arm installed, and started to fab a steering shaft, but changed gears...More pics to come.
