Got a little anxious to get my 70 frame off done so instead of rushing I bought a 2 wd ,so I can cruise again. Love it , it has been a blast!!

iambigfattony · 05-30-2014, 09:18 PM

Tested out soft top in the rain. Surprisingly dry!!

amashal · 05-30-2014, 11:59 PM

New wheel cylinders, shoes, and drums. Had to stop working on it early to go to a graduation. Hope to get it bled and put back together tomorrow.

asolde · 05-31-2014, 07:14 PM

Been working on my foor. Installed the rear carpet and seat/seat belts. I sill need to put in the front floor and seats.

Dale99 · 05-31-2014, 07:22 PM

Which carpet is that? Please post pictures of the front when its done. I'm debating on rubber/carpet.

amashal · 05-31-2014, 07:55 PM

Got the rear brakes done. Also got up in the attic and built my one man top removal contraption.

Dropped off a pile of parts to be phosphate coated (Parkerized) just like GM did. Hood hinges, hood latches, door striker plates, 72 front hooks, bags of bolts/screws, tie rod bracket, etc. For these parts it's an authentic redo that's cheaper and more durable than powdercoating or painting. $180 for the all shown to be cleaned, bead blasted, and Parkerized at a local facility that does 15k gun barrels monthly for the Ruger Co.

Great idea, post up pics when done. I want to have my m/c cover done....heck, maybe even my non-extreme bend tow hooks

Will do! For now, here are pics of a used door striker I had re-done in NM (pardon the finger prints - the finish is actually nice and uniform). I was so pleased I actually re-parkerized a set of NOS strikers that had shelf ware for use on my K20 resto. You wouldn't believe how good the hood hinges and bolts look - honestly, they appear brand new and the hinges work beautifully cleared of all that dry, old lithium grease.

For brackets and bolts that get wrenched on it's the best way to go - good to do pulleys also.

**jaros44sr** · 06-03-2014, 12:56 PM

Man they look great! Sounds like it would hold up well against wear and tear....thanks for the info.

freakshow108 · 06-03-2014, 08:32 PM

Took it apart and cut some rest out!

freakshow108 · 06-03-2014, 08:38 PM

Another

freakshow108 · 06-03-2014, 08:41 PM

One more

asolde · 06-04-2014, 07:54 PM

I put in my heat/sound damper and laid the front carpet in place. I still have a lot to do with it like find all the bolt holes, shifter boot, seat belts, door sills etc. It will take me a whole day or more to get everything fitted in there. Oh and I did my roof rail seals to.

**DeadheadNM** · 06-04-2014, 08:02 PM

Very nice job Alex! I just cut my rear carpet off at the front chrome trim strip...

To tell you the truth I did not know how it came from the factory. So I thought it would look better with the carpet folded over the edge and glued down to the vertical wall. Then I cut it along the floor line.

This is a much better looking idea. What brand carpet kit is that?

warrpath4x4 · 06-05-2014, 10:20 AM

GM left that vertical part of the floor uncovered - done right like yours it does look better IMO.

Finally finished up my weld-on beadlocks (5) and mounted my 35s
