Re: 1968
That sounds cool! Maybe a little bowtie in the corner of the door panel?

Re: 1968
On the lower door you could use carpet and color match the floor carpet and use a orange edge trim because it would tie in nice.
On the upper door a huge flat orange chevy symbol that goes nearly edge to edge over the black base roll and tuck might look nice. Maybe have him double stitch the outline of the chevy symbol for some added character. |

Re: 1968
Today, I got somemore work done on clearning out extra parts I don't need. and bought a few more. I went to the parts place and asked about 3/8'' line for the gas tank. They don't carry it and can't or want order it. I will go to Crystal River and see tomorrow. There are 3 more places I can check for the line. I ordered a new mounting brackets and hardware for the sending unit and it came in. So I installed it today. I also mounted the ground lead to the frame with brass washers. As far as the sending unit goes it is done.
I jumped back a few pages on the tank. I no longer have this tank in my truck. I have a 1968 Camaro 18 gal rear gas tank. go to page 81 and you can see the tank

Re: 1968
Crystal River? You know, it just dawned on me that we were in your neck of the woods a couple of years ago on a Florida vacation. We swam with the Manatees in Crystal River. Just another bunch of tourists that probably drive you locals nuts
Tank looks good.

Re: 1968
Today, I did some more sand blasting. On a few pieces for the jack holder. I still need a jack and rod to get. My last door handle came in today. That makes me a full set. All new ones for the inside and outside. I got one new window crank repair kit coming also. Got my steering rods end and adjusters today. I painted them to match the rest of the truck.

Re: 1968
I found the last piece of the jack mounting bracket yesterday. Got it sand blasted and painted up and the rubber exhaust bracket also. The adjuster for the alt. came in and I cleaned it up and painted it. Wating for some more parts to come in. Like the 3/8 alum gas line. The 3/8 bronze and steel lines for the transmission, they bend like aluminum but a lot stronger. I tried to use steel lines for the bends but it gave me a fit. I destroyed one trying to make them bend and look good. Found a 1/2 set of hub caps and got them cleaned up. Don't know if I will use them or not. I ordered a dome light and wireing harness yesterday. Soon I will have several parts that can be installed. It will keep me busy for a few days.

Re: 1968

Re: 1968
Today, it rained again that makes three days in a row. I guess I don't need to work on the old girl. I am trying to collect some parts so when it does slack off, I can show some progress.

Re: 1968
Yes it don't look like tomorrow is going to be any dryier. a lot of rain is coming up from the south towards Cuba. The boys keep asking me. Are we going to work on the truck and I keep telling them maybe tomorrow. The big brown truck came today. I got my new set of arm rest and the dash pad today.

Re: 1968
Well it rained again today. That makes 6 days in a row. Another 1 1/2 thats makes about 10 inches in the lst week. I did get to fix the pass side tire today. It kept on leaking down. Their is a bone yard about 1 mile from my home so I took it over to them. They fixed it up for me. I been doing business with them for years. Only charged 5.00 I think he just wanted to do me a favor. everywhere else is 15.00 and up.
