Re: 1968

Today I mounted the shifter linkage and adjusted it. Boy does it shift smooth. I am glad I let Captwmn rebuild it.



I tried to mount the fan belts but Advance Auto couldn't get it right

Re: 1968

Today I received a top notch ash tray from a fellow board member. I sand blasted it and painted the inside gray. I will paint the front tomorrow.
also I sand blasted and painted the radiator cover. I remember why I sand blast in the winter boy was it hot under the hood.

Re: 1968

Today I tried to install the windshield but failed. But I did install the rear glass. I would like to have both but, at least it was a wash out as far as the glass goes.

Re: 1968

Today I had a Dr's appointment for my back. After I got back I installed the turn signal switch level. I for got to install it when I put it together. Then I mounted the radiator cover and painted the sides of the truck under the hood black. They were orange and they just didn't look right. Now they all match the engine compartment. What do you guys think. Then I fished the dome light through the opening for the light. Tomorrow I will mount the grill whoops and front turn signal lens and other lens.
Let it snow only kidding guys.

Re: 1968

Re: 1968

Putting those detail pieces back on must be fun. I can't wait to get to that point w/ Mustard.

By the way, I think I like the black better.
