Saved a baby bird from the cat and over the last three mornings painted the bed strips (original, crudy, but will do for the to be used DD).

crossfire84 · 07-14-2012, 08:39 AM

nice

vwjohnny · 07-14-2012, 01:21 PM

Did a little more assembly on my 270 this am. Later today I'll be painting the bell housing and cleaning up a few more parts. Once motor and tranny are done I'll be re-working the engine compartment.

Daze57 · 07-14-2012, 03:33 PM

motor lookin good !

shifty1125 · 07-14-2012, 03:47 PM

Started taking the bumper and grille off then fenders. Its over 100 outside so not much is getting done but im trying to work past it.

pvienneau · 07-14-2012, 04:05 PM

Disassembled my gauges from a 49 chevy pickup. Need to rebuild but want to get replacement metal faces trying not to use stickers. Anyone have any ideas?

thump16 · 07-14-2012, 04:22 PM

Pulled the mint 235 out to go to it's new home. Ga sun has me fried.

OrrieG · 07-14-2012, 05:23 PM

Cleaned and painted rear bumper brackets. Changed oil in wifes car (learning experience for grandson), FWIW local NAPA has a special 5 qts oil and silver filter for $20.

Nordic · 07-14-2012, 08:34 PM

Painted more bed sections, wet sanded and worked on bed sides. Mounted tires on rims and installed.I also bought an externally mounted electric choke assembly for my qjet. I had to fabricate a bracket, still making final adjustments.

Daze57 · 07-14-2012, 10:54 PM

I bet that color looks good in the sun light!

Russell Ashley · 07-15-2012, 07:58 AM

Do you have a part number for the electric choke? I would like to see a pic of your mounting bracket.

The paint job looks good.

Looks good! that is sooo tempting

Nordic · 07-15-2012, 04:11 PM

Russell the choke kit is an EC3 electric choke kit from ebay. I will post pictures of the bracket soon as I get back out to it.

Took my old beast for a 60 mile spin around town and realized it would be a lot more fun in this AZ heat if I would get on putting in an ac system, but 1600 miles on it now and no real problems to speak of yet.

Got the original cigar lighter I purchased working, contacts needed cleaned up. Painted bumper brackets and some other misc. parts. Got the headlight trim rings ready for primer. Inventoried electrical wiring stuff and started mods on from turn signal housing for dual filiament bulbs. Body work on back of bed at the old hinge bolt locations. As you can see I am at that "lots of small tasks" to do and am going in circles as I complete a stage in each one!

crossfire84 · 07-16-2012, 06:00 PM

101 today, more of the same tomorrow.

Is the 292 the same or way different?

mknittle · 07-16-2012, 09:54 PM

worked on my floor. i bent the ends and am working out how i am going to make the front cab mounts. I think I have it figured out.

pvienneau · 07-17-2012, 08:20 AM

Disassembly of speedo and gauges. The face plaes are unreadable. See pix. Any suggestions on where I could buy new miles wheel numbers and metal face plates?

I bought me an original bench seat from a 48 to fit in my 49.........and I found it in the U.K.!!!!
These seats are as rare as chicken teeth over here.
