Re: Good 70 SWB
Been doing a lot of work on the engine compartment. Wirelooms are in and I have the Willwood Master cylinder mocked up and lines connected. I used a 4 core HD radiator from Champion. Still need to come up with a cover for it. Also installed Sanderson CC11 headers. The drivers side had plenty of room from the frame rail. However on the passenger I had to notch the frame rail about 3/8 of an inch.

Re: Good 70 SWB
I installed 72 VAN tilt steering column, I am using original dash cluster. I did cut the dash to install a double din radio. And I have my AC mocked up under the dash. Been working on wiring and getting vents installed. Will being working on fabricating a frame for my bucket seats so I can use the original mounting holes. Also using Original AC controller.

Re: Good 70 SWB
Brake and trans line look good. Sorry we spent more time working on my seat frame and not getting to yours. Something to do another day.

Re: Good 70 SWB
So I know it's been awhile since last update but I have made progress and have pictures that I know everyone likes to see.. I had to scrap the idea of using the Vintage AIR surefit kit that I had and the Original AC control head. Since I was going with custom bulk head the Surefit Kit was just too close to my bulk head under the dash I could not get the hoses to route correctly. So I purchased a Vintage Air GenII compact unit and mounted it up under the Dash. This provided the clearance I needed to to route the AC and Heater Hoses. Also had to redo Dash and put in new Slimline electronic control unit.

Re: Good 70 SWB
I have began mocking up the bed getting wood bed installed and all holes drilled. Then I will take back apart paint the bed and finish the wood and then reassemble. The 4 boards you see in the pick that are not stained Black I ended up having to have re-make as I lost the originals over the 3 year span I waited to get to the point of installing.... Thanks to SilverBear on this forum for helping in making those.

Re: Good 70 SWB
Just read through your build thread. I'm just getting ready to get started on mine. I am planning on many of the same ideas for my 71 swb. Good work so far and keep it up. Subscribed.

Re: Good 70 SWB
Finally decided how I am going to approach my bed fill. I got a billet door from Speedway motors and installed it. I probably should have went with larger sized one as it is bit tight to get my hand in to open the fuel tank. But I was worried the larger size I would not have enough board for it. It mounts with threaded studs so not screws are visible.
All in all I think it is going to look good and work well for access to the filler. Sorry for blurry picts. |

Re: Good 70 SWB
All that work on the grill to get it looking good and all you post is a side angle pic and no mention of it.
Just harrasing you my friend. Looking forward to reassembling that bed after the paint work is done

Re: Good 70 SWB
It is looking awesome! Did you use single stage or base/clear for your paint? I'm jealous as it's way too cold to primer and paint here.
