What wiper kit did you buy? I have the Brother's replacement electric motor and no issues with keeping the cowl vent. Vintage Air, however, is really close. I'm making my own brackets now to mount it where I want it.

Bought the wipers so long ago I forgot which kit I bought. I have the SPW kit so the vent is no problem to keep if I want.

Great job! Now hurry up with the concole so I can get ideas for mine.

SSABMUD · 02-17-2013, 12:35 AM

I am finally working on it again Shadow. Have to get some epoxy resin before I can start sticking it on. Need some lights and the stereo head also. Hate fibreglass. Did I say that already?

Console looks good. Is the insulation for template use? Or are you going back with mdf board?

I'm going to fibreglass right over it once I sand it to final shape. So easy to work with the foam and way less mess. Sands super fast.

Going to add a shallow tray in front of shifter, then tape it up and start fibreglassing.

Very nice! I came up with doing consoles just like this by myself! Kinda nice to see someone else sucssessfully doing it too. Only I didn't think of using the tape, I used a heavy tin foil. Didn't work as good as what this looks like. What tape is that? I love the whole truck. So many sweet ideas coming together shows for a good eye! Keep it up and i look forward to more progress.

Thanks Nebdrummer. The foam works so well that I wish I thought of using it the first two times. Never MDF again. The tape is an A/C tape that you can see through. It is a type of plastic like that crappy Christmas paper you buy by mistake. (You can see through it). The foam and tape just lifts right out.

Yeah I know how those back issues can be. The pain is ridiculous. Any way nope, I'm not getting close at all. I have not touched that truck in a while. Honey do list man, you know how it is. I have to finish what the wife needs first then comes my toys. If the wife is not happy no body is happy. They have a way of making sure of that.lol

The truck is looking great man.

Worked until 3am this morning fibreglassing. Got the wood blocks changed out to metal, stereo head fitted, two more coats put on, and a first attempt at the storage box for console. Only had about a 1/16" inch of glass on my fingers when I went inside.

This is the tape I use. Fibreglass does not faze it. It is called metalized tape. Plastic with thin coating of metal on it. It is transparent also. I should coat my door handles. Stuff looks as good as chrome.
