Re: 85 White Whale
Rear windshield in. Windshield guy didn't bring a front gasket, so smog will be on hold until Monday when he comes back.

Re: 85 White Whale
Looking great! I got way more than that in mine and it still isn't painted... who is doing your glass install?

Re: 85 White Whale
The interior is okay for now. I'd like to get the seat reupholstered, and install a carpet. Retro stereo would be cool too.
I need to order some wiper arms and get a new motor for the windshield washer fluid reservoir. I used some "303 aerospace protectant" on the interior and it really made it look much better, even though the dash is cracked and the door panels need some love. I'd like to respray my gauge bezel but that will come at a later time. |

Re: 85 White Whale
Front and rear glass are in. Passed smog. Spent 2 1/2 hours at the DMV, but it's finally registered and on the road.
Wiper arms, blades and washer pump motor are ordered. Fender trim should be on this weekend. |

Re: 85 White Whale
First coat of Herculiner drying.
Anyone know if a faulty windshield washer switch inside the turn signal lever could keep the washer fluid pump from activating?? |

Re: 85 White Whale
Sprayed the engine down with some degreaser, it cleaned up well. The bed liner is cured and came out nice as well.
I narrowed my washer fluid spray problem down to a faulty switch. Tearing into the column is a PITA, but it needs to be done. Also bought a new turn signal lever. |

Re: 85 White Whale
Very nice work looks great. I love (hate) tearing these columns apart!

Re: 85 White Whale
Thanks. Wiper switch didn't come today, so I'm hoping on Monday. Getting the switch plug through the column is going to be a real pain. I'm debating on carefully removing each wire from the plug itself and pulling it through using the string I've already fished through. If anyone has any suggestions on how to go about it, I'm all ears!

Re: 85 White Whale
The truck looks killer!
 Nice work. I changed my wiper switch a few years ago. I used the string method if I remember correctly. I can't really remember exactly how I did it. |

Re: 85 White Whale
Thanks!
I ended up cutting the plug of entirely, feeding the wires through the column, and soldering each of the wires back together. |

Re: 85 White Whale
Got the aux input installed and works well. I have 8 more aux jacks if anyone needs one. PM me and I'll toss one in an envelope.

Re: 85 White Whale
How do you like the raptor liner? I am wanting to do a diy bed liner for my truck over my winter break. How well did that aircraft paint remover work?

The aircraft paint remover is messy. And will burn your skin on contact...but it works. Paint it on and wipe off everything it touches down to bare metal. Saved a lot of time stripping the little nooks and hard to reach places in the bed. |
