Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!

[Grizz1963]

So the Rezin Rockit has very much been on the back burner since summer.

Amazingly its a year since I took it in for its first MOT test which it passed straight away.

Not used much because I have 4 vehicles on the drive and when employed a company car that I use on the way home for groceries etc.

In preparation for this years fresh MOT I went though all the various things that I could check and test at home.
The one brake light did not come on.

So I looked at the obvious, the bulb was fine, connecting seemed good.

Stumped. Easy for me to be stumped.

So I sent the video above to Nick Wheeler by text requesting his help. Of course he was going to come last weekend which turned into a ****show Literally.
So we cancelled.
Then he came yesterday and we ean through the usual checklist.
He checked the lightbulb and found there was no continuity despite the filament being intact.
Then dropped and smashed it.
I dug out my reserve bulbs, Nick checked and found one he liked.
We had already checked the rear light fittings and all was good.
So a bit of scotch pad and emery paper to clean up the contacts plus tensioning the fitting meant take 2.

Successful



Happy too.



So I washed and cleaned the Rezin Rockit in preparation for a hopeful MOT test on Monday if weather conditions permit and of course I need an appointment.

Fingers crossed.

Once I have a fresh MOT it will be up for sale as I do need the space.
