Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic

198 will pick up the bed and fenders Friday to go to the blaster. Nothing to work on tonight, so I worked on mine.

What has to be done to a 65 auto column for a power glide to work with a 3 spd auto if anything other than the indicator. Can the indicator be replaced with a different indicator? I'm curious if there is enough movement in the shifter to operate a 3 spd.

Thanks

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic

everything I have read says there is plenty of movement to go with a 4 speed auto even...classic parts sells indicators

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic

198Plus brought some sand blasted parts to me today. First I was going to spray DP90 on everything, but was thinking what a waste of material. So I started by circling damage and pounding out dents and welding up holes. I got rear fenders front/rear beat out and welded. The right fender will need a lower patch. After the metal work gets done I will coat with DP90 for now. Here are some pics.











It's amazing what people can hide with filler



This is one of the areas that I beat out.







Holes welded up. Instead of patching the holes in the front I just welded them up. There was enough metal there to weld too. 198 wants me to save him as much as I can. As long as I can get a good weld on it, it should last just as long as a patch. I spent 2 hours today

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic

great job.. I came to the same conclusion.... why spray DP if I am going to beat and grind it off... but I am in Texas were we have 100% humidity also. so i have to find a medium.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic

My neighbor long time ago bought an old truck one day that was just painted. He was so happy til he close the door and heard something funny. he opened the door and a big chunk of filler fell out on the ground with a piece of aluminum foil stuck to it. I felt sorry for him.

I've also seen great stuff foam shaped to the contour of the panel and mudded over.

I'm sure there are alot of similar stories around.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic

Spent another 1.5 hrs welding up holes and beating dents out on the inner bed panels and worked on the RT front fender.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic

I have seen the red dots from tail lights stuck in there.. Hey allan. another little trick is to go to the auto parts and get a freeze plug and tap it in. it sits in there nice. and if you weld it the bevel keeps the weld in tight so less grinding

Beautiful Boxer and truck, 198Plus. Alan, you're doing a great job on the truck and I know that 198Plus will be very proud of it once it's done.
