Re: Project: Ginger

Re: Project: Ginger
Steppers are awesome. I loved my 67 I had many years ago. Good thing I have enough parts to build one some day. Too bad no original paint on them though.

Re: Project: Ginger
Not much of an update.
I've been working on painting a few small pieces and buying misc. parts. I did get my steering shaft installed earlier in the week. I spent all day getting NO-LIFE out of storage, and cleaning it up. I'm going to get "side tracked" on this truck this weekend. (that is one ugly bedside,...)

Re: Project: Ginger
I bought them online.
They came from a place that sells clamps for VW rail buggys. Here's the original thread: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...ght=line+clamp

Re: Project: Ginger
Guys... I've been fortunate enough to check out this truck first hand and know that he is putting great attention to detail. This thing will be slick when it's done.
![]() I would have given up on the steering linkage. ![]()

Re: Project: Ginger
Today I did some painting on parts for my red '69.
So while that was drying,... I decided to tackle the last two brake lines on my Dropmember chassis. (the top two in the prop valve,... with the 180 degree bends) These were from the Wilwood M/C down to the frame mounted SSBC proportioning valve. I like the challenge of bending brake lines, but was worried about scratching my freshly painted firewall. It seems like the more bending and flaring, of brake lines that you do,... the better you get. Not the case for me. It still took several hours. The line seperators are a "Made 4 You" product from Summit Racing,... that came in last week..

Re: Project: Ginger
The Wilwood M/C allows you to install the brake lines on the LH or RH side.
I wanted to install them on the RH side,... but they were going to be directly in the way of the column shift linkage,... so this is the route I went.

Re: Project: Ginger
Nice work on the brake lines. What kind of material is that? How hard was it to bend to the shape you wanted? I am currently fighting with some pre-bent lines. They don't exactly fit the way I expected. These will be the last ones I buy. The next ones I will bend myself for sure.

Pretty easy to bend with a good bender.

Re: Project: Ginger
Nice clean work Keith!
Q: What did you use to plug the dipstick hole on the passenger side of the block?
