Re: 1968
Today, I welded the backing plates for the door mirrows. I also re-attached the parking brake cable. Waiting for the carrier bearing bracket to arive so I can install the drive shaft. Maybe I will get to go to the welding shop tomorrow to order the metal for the hood and the rear turn signal mounting plates.

Re: 1968
George you should see if your buddy has a nicer hood you can start with so you dont have to fix that one, if he doesn't have one hoods are usually pretty inexpensive you should be able to find a good one locally.

Re: 1968
I picked up some stanless bolts and washer today. Going to use them on the engine compartment. They look a lot nicer than regular bolts. I also got some red wire looms for the distributor wires.
I ordered a black carpet today also. It came from another board member. He bought it for his truck, but changed his direction. I got it for a song. Couldn't pass it up. It is still in the box with pading. so it looks like the carb will have to wait till next mont. I need the carpet before I need the carb.

Re: 1968
Went south and tried to buy some parts today But didnt make a deal so I came back with only a door panel trim. But I did meet a very nice guy down in Tarpon Springs, Fl. He drives a 1970 fleet side long wheel base 10 and it looks real nice. We talked for almost an hour.
So the trip was not a total loss.

Re: 1968
When I started this build I thought to myself. This parts only cost a few dollars new so I will replace it. Well a hundred parts well you do the math.

Re: 1968
Today, I installed my heat shield insulation. I still got to install my floor sound deadener. I probably got ahead of myself. But what the hey. At least I did something on the old girl instead of setting on the couch. One day this week I want to install the intake and distributor and wires. Maybe the valve covers Maybe.
