thx man. you too. I bet you're excited about getting that motor back? I'm wishing i had a shop like yours these days. I'd never go into the house. All it needs is a big screen. Make sure you post pics.

irish1966 · 01-15-2011, 12:18 PM

Added blinker lights and high beam light.

O'Reillys/Baxters

The tach and the Speedo were a little spendy, but I get a killer discount, so I grabbed em.

edit: I think I'm gonna have to look at the Fuel gauge. I believe its a 0/90. SHows Wayyyyy full with a full tank.

63lemon · 01-15-2011, 03:52 PM

thanks i gonna take a drive to O'reileys and check em out

It's been a while since I looked at your build. Very nice progress and work, keep it up.

irish1966 · 01-16-2011, 12:29 AM

Thx Alan. As if I didn't have enough to be doing, but the sickness took hold and I bought a 64 short bed today. I'll post pics soon. I got it REALLY cheap.

Well, here she is.........Got her for $400 with an extra set of fenders, and a 72 column.

1964 Shorty with a 230 and a 4spd.

irish1966 · 01-16-2011, 01:16 AM

And, she came with her high heels on. Those bad boys are 16" rims and I measured the tire to be ~30". She is now 3" lower both front and rear. :-)

irish1966 · 01-16-2011, 02:35 AM

A bit of background on this one....

My good friend Tommy, has been an integral part of getting and keeping our fleet going. He can build a carb blindfolded. He is old school NHRA and one of the coolest guys I've met. Anyways, he has the golden touch when it comes to carbs and motors and me and old skool decided it was time to build him a truck with a personal touch.

It's peel'n'seal from home depot. Actually, that may not be the name on it, but you will find it in the roofing section in a black and yellow packaged roll. I'll post a pic of the roll in the morning. It works good. Just make sure its warm when u roll it on. I use a heat gun on it before sticking it in place. It makes a big difference.
