Re: I think i can!!! - SWB 72 Step-side

I started on my fuel lines this weekend. The first thing I had to do was cut my pretty fresh painted frame. Haha! I ran an 1/2 line and 3/8 return line. Im waiting on a couple fitting to complete the soft lines. I will try to get the line clampes into place this week.

Re: I think i can!!! - SWB 72 Step-side

^^^. That sorta sticks chopping into that beautiful frame. That's why I'm going to try and have all that stuff done on my frame before I blow it back apart, but I know there'll always going to forget something.

Re: I think i can!!! - SWB 72 Step-side

The last couple of Sundays I have been putting in some work on my cab. I decided to completely shave the passenger side firewall. I was against doing this because I have a factory replacement vintage air evaperator and it wasnt made for this application but why do something your going to regret later. (factory replacement vinage air evaporator kit for sale) haha. Now that the fire wall is super slick it looks a little plane so we are going to put a bodyline around the upper edge. It looks great and I will have some better pictures Sunday. We also started working on the roof line. It's going to be hard to say how it came out until its primered, rework, primered, reworked and on and on...More pictures Sunday. But what do you think so for.

Delivery!

I was thinking they would not make it on time for the weekend, but there here. It's the parts to rebuild the bottoms of my doors and the 3 knob control for my vintage air. Pictures coming Sunday!

Re: I think i can!!! - SWB 72 Step-side

This is what we started with. The door was not in bad shape just a little rust in the very bottom and the metal folds.

Re: I think i can!!! - SWB 72 Step-side

We only had time to do half of one door this sunday. It took longer than i thought!! The replacement part didnt match up very well. Good thing we only needed a small part of it!!
