The Snortin' bull

[namloc]

Well all running well though my stereo did not like the MSD .And the good used refurb one wire alt I used did not like it either.I installed an MSD cap. and from TUFF STUFF a new 120 amp one wire alternator. All better now.

The Snortin' Bull made it out to it's second GOOD-GUYS event. Had a great time. Made a lot of new friend's.

[namloc]

Off with the neck.The fuel tank neck.I had a dummy neck in for the past year. Time has come to smooth thing's out.

[namloc]

Cut out an initial patch piece,20 Gg. Trimmed.Bent a slight compound curve into the patch.Set in after some minor prep.Started to tack in. Dinner is ready gotta come back to this later.

[namloc]

Got some part's for parking brake install.From the Control Cables company.

[namloc]

A new accessory.A back window hat rack.

[namloc]

Static buzz still from MSD .I installed this BOSS noise filter for the radio and no more buzz or static. It work's.

[namloc]

Back earlier in the build I had found a parting out truck and got a rh sun visor.As the Bull originally was lh only.Well the left had one fell apart while driving the other day.So I had to refurb it.Now it matches the right.Sans the original vinyl.

[namloc]

Headliner kept sagging between the mounting points.LMC kit is nice though I had to add extra mounting point's.

Do you have any pics of your parking brake install? Was curious if you used the factory rear cables? I went to their website and the prices for their stuff isn't bad.

I have not installed the frt. cable and handle yet.I did install original cables in rear,The first rear cables that I ordered from LMC are incorrectly listed,NAPA still offers the correct for pre 63. I will show the install when it comes about.

[namloc]

Kept having some water come into the cab after the Seattle rain or washing.None from the windshield it seemed to be thru the cowl and down to the vents.Even in the center from the wiper motor area.I seam sealed anything of question.

[namloc]

The sealed beam headlamp's in the dark in Seattle rain weather are not good.So out they will go.I got a h4 conversion set to install.An updated harness with relay's also.

[namloc]

I had read this on the forum and you do have to open up the hole behind each lamp on the headlamp retaining plate's.

[namloc]

New front lighting harness installed.Scrubbed down everything and painted buckets and retaining plate's,Relays in for high beam and low beam.

[namloc]

All work's just waiting for the dark to align headlamps. Just posin' with the halo ring's.

No pressure, but I'm looking forward to the parking brake install also.
