Re: Project "Buffalo Blizzard Surprise" 71 SWB build

Trying to get the fuel lines and tank finished up. Tank is ready to go back in. It was originally set up for bed fill, but I converted it over to side fill, so it could be used with the bedside fill.

Got both headlights working good. These halos are with the parking lights on. They are switchbacks and turn amber color with my turn signal on. Really nice.

Re: Project "Buffalo Blizzard Surprise" 71 SWB build

I made a final decision on interior leather and carpet. Going with two tone leather interior. I'm going to use Paloma Premium Leather, color: “Cork”; and Delicate Leather, color “Amber Glow”, Distressed. For carpet I'm using Imported wool, square weave carpet, Color: Whiskey (410). Close to getting this going.

Re: Project "Buffalo Blizzard Surprise" 71 SWB build

Need to finish my door belt line weather strips. After installing my Nu-Relic power window conversion I'm finding that when my windows are closed, the windows come up too high in the door. They come up so high that the lower glass sash interferes with the inside belt line felts. Because of this I'm not able to install inside belt line felts. When I put up the window, the lower glass sash hits the belt line felts. I have to figure out a way to fix this.

In the meantime I'm going to install some weatherstrip on the outside of the door.
