worked on my shroud for the electric fans

wrwelton · 02-10-2012, 08:32 AM

I bolted down the cover over the manual transmission. My cab was an automatic so I had to drill holes. I then tried to install the gas tank but realized it had some weep holes in it. Today I will weld up holes and pour in some gas tank sealer. Hopefully that should take care of that. Does anyone know why these gastanks behind seat were not painted?

Thinking about putting my leaf spring pack back on to get ready for the move in a month ...

67Slider · 02-11-2012, 07:31 PM

Got my seatbelt retractors finished. Turned out good. They started out as Parchment colored. Props to 454Stepside for them.

Drove to the store and back, defrost works pretty good!

Took a clay bar to the hood area to see how it would work....great. Building a frame for my new leather seats. Washed and fueled her and went for doughnuts and coffee. Whew, I'm tired.

I bought these as a complete set tonight. I remember back in the day we would buy them from a small tire shop here in A****er. I can check for you and see if they still sell them. They also used to sell them with a blue bowtie.

Years ago I briefly worked for a local Chevy dealer. I was getting some parts one day and a customer was buying center cap emblems. They were perfect! Black, gold bowtie, and gold ring (these look like gold bowtie and silver[?] ring). I asked the parts guy what application they were for and he said the customer was buying them for a Monte Carlo. I don't know if I still have the records from the first couple of six-hole ralleys we put them on, but I know they were for a Monte Carlo.

Yes these are gold bowtie and sliver ring. Also silver outline around the bowtie.

Drove her to the hardware store, where the carb stuck open and the battery died. Had to call a buddy to come jump me. Good times

lil hoodlum · 02-12-2012, 07:54 PM

Worked on drivers door, put sound barrier inside door, put in another door latch, ran new wire from interior cab light to where it plugs in at fuse box. painted Por15 on all internal parts inside door, which would be wing window attachment rod, window guide channel. Cleaned out window channel for all new felts to go in.

Andy4639 · 02-12-2012, 08:28 PM

Took a little trip in her then came home and washed it in 34 degree weather. Didn't like all the salt and crap all over it.

Here is the trip.
