Re: Be Gentle. . . I'm an Amateur.
Found the motor mounts at napa. Cross referenced the part number with Oriellys and got them half price like6$ each. Then ordered the adapter plates from jegs for 39.99 shipped.. So all in all not to bad. The reason the kit is made that way is so that you can have more adjustment with the motor as needed and just shim the bolt accordingly to were your need the motor to set...
Thank you very much for the info. I found these headers at jegs today. Think i will order them. They should work. http://www.jegs.com/i/Hooker-Headers...oductId=759625 |

Re: Be Gentle. . . I'm an Amateur.
I don't want to use the original space for the radio. Should I weld it in or get a delete plate?
I saw someone who had hinges on their delete plate with their air ride gauges behind it. It was somewhere on this site, but I can't seem to find it. Any other good ideas?

Re: Be Gentle. . . I'm an Amateur.

Brake Switch
I mounted up a brake switch today. I'm not quite sure if I did it right, couldn't find any instructions. I assumed the circuit is closed when the pin is NOT being pressed. Here are some pics of the bracket and how I have it mounted, along with a pic of how I'm going to wire it. Please chime in and tell me if I'm missing something.

Re: Be Gentle. . . I'm an Amateur.
I got my headlights and tail lights all wired up. Tough to tell with a cell phone pic, but they're extremely bright.
Don't mind the grille on the wrong end and fenders lying everywhere. I used this websites http://www.how-to-build-hotrods.com/ diagrams for wiring up all of my lights. Lots of good info for beginners. I ended up putting in relays for my lights and another relay for an accessory fuse panel. My park light is still overriding my blinker, not sure if an LED load equalizer will fix it or not. Hopefully I can get to it Sunday after church if its not too hot.

Re: Be Gentle. . . I'm an Amateur.
The bed is finally in primer at the paint shop. It's been there over a year now. Hopefully it'll slow down around there and they can take my cab and doors in.

Re: Be Gentle. . . I'm an Amateur.
Dropped the cab off at the body shop in November. Just playing the waiting game. Can't wait to get it back.
I picked up a big back window '57 3200 for dirt cheap the other day. I'll have a bunch of questions for it coming up.

Re: Be Gentle. . . I'm an Amateur.
One reasoning I am glad I can do my own paint and body work! I don't have to rely on anyone else's schedule!! I just found your thread last night and just finished reading it. Real nice build. I like the '57. My buddy has a '56 he's working on very slowly. I look forward to seeing you finish yours! Nice work so far.

Re: Be Gentle. . . I'm an Amateur.
I hope you don't get hung up in paint prison. That looks like a real clean 3200 you picked up.

Re: Be Gentle. . . I'm an Amateur.
Paint prison...I like that. I've been there for three years.
I'm definitely just gonna do the best I can on this new one. I can't wait to get it running.

Re: Be Gentle. . . I'm an Amateur.
Looks a lot cleaner than the homemade job I'm in the middle of putting on my '57.
