Re: J.M. Laflamme Build
thanks man!
I finallly got the driveshaft back from the being balanced ![]() Got that little pesky spido cable plug changed out. "crossing fingers" Started going thru the donors wiring harness, this ought to be really fun! On the way is; full door window kit from Ecklers to finish off the elimination of the vent windows. a pair of front fenders from Up22.com (fiberglass) I hope these are as nice as they say they are. now toying around with revamping my old headlamp buckets or shelling out 75 a pop for new assemblies. not sure which way to go as of now. sorry for a boring post with no pics ![]() I have till end of April/May to get it wired and prepped for glass. then she is off to the glass doctor. We will then see what happens, worky or no worky. stay tuned... ![]()

Re: J.M. Laflamme Build
Get the 47-54 AD.54&551st are the same.Follow the 54 parts and you will do fine.there are a few parts that are 54&551st belonging to these years only.

Re: J.M. Laflamme Build
shavy shavy the cowl vent.
carefully hammer and dollied the vents just closed enough so there was enough support for the glass. Here are a few picks, The vent in the last pics are of it just sitting in there, I have a bit more work to do to it and pick up some 3m body sealer. 27 bux a tube is a tad scary, but eh... maybe it goes a long way. ![]() Thank You Mr. Ogre!

Re: J.M. Laflamme Build
Looking good.
Don't forget to plug the wiper drain holes otherwise you'll still get drainage in the cowl Posted via Mobile Device
