Almost finished detailing the transmission. Need to find stamps to do the "6Y" and get a top cover gasket.

Painted the I-beams, backing plates, and steering arms.
   Also shot three coats of epoxy on the engine to give the paint better adhesion and also to somewhat smooth out the rough castings. This will make the paint lay down much nicer!

Re: 1966 F100 Short/Fleen Full Stock Resto Build Thread
I'll shoot the water pump and other blue parts separately. The valve covers and air filter housing will be bodyworked and sprayed with high build primer to smooth them out before painting. Might even wetsand/buff them!

Assembled the front brakes yesterday:  The leaf spring buttons (NOS) came in the mail last night so I assembled the spring packs today and loosely bolted them on the axle, then rolled the frame inside and took it off the rotisserie.  Axle/springs installed on the frame.

John-
Great work, as always! Whenever I buy a Lottery ticket, I hope I win so I can send you a few cars to restore. Your attention to detail is outstanding.

Started assembling the front suspension, enough to get it rolling. Still need to prime/paint the springs and steering parts. We found a company to rebuild the steering box so we'll send it off soon.  Brakes assembled.  Painted the shocks the correct black color.

Re: 1966 F100 Short/Fleen Full Stock Resto Build Thread
Just waiting on pressure plate bolts so we can get the engine/trans installed back in the frame.
I primed/painted the front springs and trans X member and installed them. Also installed new stainless brake lines with detailed original clamps. The distribution block was soaked and cleaned, then bead blasted and cleared.     Resurfaced flywheel installed, painted the bellhousing and bolted it up with blasted/painted clutch fork. Also painted the water pump.

Re: 1966 F100 Short/Fleen Full Stock Resto Build Thread
Found numbers stamped on the driveshaft so we'll replicate them. Also detailed the yoke and installed it. Wetsanded the shaft and put it on the buffer before masking and painting it a cast color.

Driveshaft is blasted, epoxied, wetsanded, and painted. We had a stencil made at a local decal shop to replicate the original part number stamp.

Re: 1966 F100 Short/Fleen Full Stock Resto Build Thread
We blasted the valve covers, then I shot them with DTM high build to fill the minor rust pits, wetsanded them smooth, then sprayed three coats of urethane single stage.
 Driveshaft is installed with detailed U-joints.   Started painting and installing some of the engine parts. Waiting on the bypass hose clamps, alternator, distributor, flanged manifold bolts, and starter to come in so we can finish it up. Also need to find a carburetor.
