Re: 67 Shortwide Resto
Finished the wiring in the Engine Compartment today along with the tail lite wiring. I also insulated the Drivers door with sound proofing material. Here is a couple of pictures of where the truck sets right now. I took the differential to a friend today who is changing the axle bearings along with the seals and the front seal on the diff. After looking closely at the yoke on the front of the differential I found that the surface that the U Joint sets in was badly distorted so im having him put a new yoke on the front of the Diff. Here is a couple of pics of the truck, I also modified the original Accelorator Linkage to fit today also.

Re: 67 Shortwide Resto
Been a crazy week... It started on Sunday when my Wife and I went to look, you notice I said look at SUV's. It started out at the Lexus Dealer and from there we went to the Acura Dealer. She test drove a 2012 MDX and that was all it took to start the ball rolling to purchasing it. We traded in her 2007 Acura TL Type S and my 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500HD 4X4 Club Cab Pickup for it. I miss my truck... So on the way home I got a phone call and it was a guy asking me if my 1996 Honda XR650L Motorcycle was still for sale. He met us at the house and bought my Motorcycle immediatly. When it left the house I was out of vehicles and was a foot. So I jumped on Craigslist amoungst the other loonies and went to looking for some immediate transportation. I found a 1998 Dodge Dakota Ext cab V6 with 151K miles on it. Surprizingly its in really good shape. The clear coat on it has some issues but for me that is really minor. I have nick named it the Garden Truck as I plan on throwing things at it because its just a backup to my Soon to be on the Road 67 Short Fleet Pickup. But as with everything else as far as cars go I will probably make this thing run like new and look like new and then I will be afraid to throw things at it. Guess I better Rhino Line it all the way over the bed Rails. I will post some pictures of it later today. Thats my week so far and its only Thursday. I hope I cant get into much more trouble this week with only a couple of more days to go...

Re: 67 Shortwide Resto
Well, today I started the dreaded color sand and buff out process. I did the hood today while the glass guy came and installed my front windshield and the back glass. I need to get the doors able to latch because Wednesday of next week it goes to the Exhaust guy and then I am going to lite a fire in this thing. I hope by next week I will have it started and broke in before the weekend. I will try to video the event and post it. I am going to try to have the entire truck Color Sanded and Buffed out before the end of the weekend. Then it will be a marathon of putting it together. Installing all the molding and the badging along the endless list of last minute stuff that needs to get done... Here are a few pictures of the hood.

Re: 67 Shortwide Resto
The hood turned out great! Looks like a mirror finish.

Re: 67 Shortwide Resto
Nice build, your paint and body skill is excellent! I don't know how I didn't find this build sooner.

I wish my bodywork skills were excellent. I seem to be finding more and more things on this truck thats making me crazy from a bodywork standpoint. I have just about come to the conclusion that I am going to wrap the entire truck except the Drivers side bed and start that over just like I was beginning. Its really bad across the top of the bed where I filled the holes that was in the bed from the hooks that were on it when I started. I must have been drinking when I long boarded it. |

Re: 67 Shortwide Resto
I guess I need to remember that this is going to be my Daily Drive and not a show truck... I think im my own worst enemy when it comes to bodywork.

Re: 67 Shortwide Resto
Well, I got it running and broke in this weekend. Here is a video of it running. Im still waiting for the video of the brake in process to come back. I fine tuned it a bit this morning so its running better and I got all the lights working along with the Vintage air. So here it is.

Re: 67 Shortwide Resto
The moulding really provides a good transition between the blue and silver. I Like

Im going to put the Moldings on the other side of the truck today and prep the bed for the Hippo Tintable Bed Liner Im going to spray in this weekend.

Re: 67 Shortwide Resto
So Ive decided Im going to represent the Old Pickup community at the GTO Show in Bend Oregon on Memorial Day Weekend... Ive got a few final touches to get done so I can drive this thing over there. Im actually a Member of the Goat Herd of Oregon and have a 67 GTO Hardtop but its next on the Restoration Schedule so Hopefully It will be done next year for the GTO show so I can actually show up in a GTO. I hope they will let me Park the truck on the inside of the show and if they dont Im going to park the truck in the For Sale lot with a Huge Price Tag so no one will want to buy it. I sure dont want to start another truck at this point...

Re: 67 Shortwide Resto
We got the Bed Lined today... With great Effort from my Wife Linda and her skills with the tape we got it preped before my Son got up and then he Drained the Compressor and I started mixing the Hippo Tintable Bed Liner. He did a great job shooting it. So Here are a few pictures of it...

Re: 67 Shortwide Resto
Is it that glossy or still wet? Unusual for liner - I like it.
