-A new gauge cluster
-weather-stripping for the entire car
-door hinges
-68' chevy headlights and bezels
-Two new wheel arches for the bed
-Frame brackets for bumpers
-new hood latch
-Cab/frame supports
-New gauge lights
-New instrument control panel (air, defroster, heat)

I bought a welding gas tank so I can MIG weld properly now.

A pair of chrome half moon headlight covers. And a Dynomax exhaust system, but it will not be here for a few weeks. Too cold to work on it anyway.

Headers on that six cylinder?

A replacement spring to help the brake shoes compress after the foot is removed from the pedal. The previous one had stretched and was not pulling the shoes back together.

**Steeveedee** · 12-28-2016, 12:28 AM

As Ted McMahon says, "A NEEEEW CAMPER SHELL!! Due in January.

AND, before that happens, I managed to get it into my mother-in-law's garage (with a little space on each end), so that I can clean up the roof, before the new shell goes on. Ima grind all the rust and stuff off and repaint the roof.

Second pic is upside down. There is about one inch from the bumper to the back wall of the garage. In front there is about 4 inches. Longhorns is long!

Sheetmetal patch panels and this book. HIGHLY recommend everyone own one.

DarkFlounder · 12-28-2016, 01:50 AM

The longbed she got a few years ago is being cleaned, prepped, sanded, filled, primered, assembled and will be mounted this weekend.
Behind-the-seat fuel tank installed with new fuel pick-up and fuel line.
New felts and weatherstripping for both doors.
Elbows and mirror heads to go with the below-eyeline mounts she got earlier in the year.
New U-Joints
New leaf spring bushings

She's been a very good girl and is getting pampered now that I've got time to actually work in the garage.

Nothing is in any kind of order but someone made an index I printed off of here which is nice.

cherokeejohn · 12-28-2016, 03:57 AM

A new Parking spot! lol, so I can freeze my butt off while changing a transmission over

hewittca · 12-28-2016, 07:53 AM

It actually has a 402 now. Apparently I am "not allowed to have a signature" according to my account, so I cannot change my sig either.

**70cst** · 12-28-2016, 09:22 AM

Looks like some very nice Christmas Gifts

**special-K** · 12-28-2016, 09:42 AM

Not a jingle jolly thing, unless you count the 16 x 8 steelies I got last fall for the '72. Still in boxes, I grabbed those when they were on sale for $90@. Pre-Black Friday Sale! Hopefully the Easter Bunny will bring a set of tires.
