Re: 1969 Short Wide
I shelled the gears in my lower and upper unit last summer. It's a Mercruiser Alpha1 outdrive. Got any tips for that repair?

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Holy crap, i can not believe that i have not posted in such a long time, anyways, glad to see so much work done on the truck, and good choice on the copper primer, that is the best stuff on the market to this day, i know, i tried everything out there, worth the money trust me,. I know all about the boat thing, i tore the leg off of my silver line, hit a rock pennisula on the lake, ouch. anyways, just have to let you know, everything looks great and remember aftermarket is aftermarket for a reason, you have to FIT it, not them. Also i sure could use a camaro, let me know if you got a spare, or a 70 chevelle, Later.

waiting on the rest of the parts to come in next week to rebuild it. Hope to get back on this project next week, we are going to some salvages tomorrow to find a radiator and some other parts for my kids 86. I'm also going to the scrap yard to try to find some 18-20 sheetmetal for the firewall. I have been working with 22 gauge and it's too thin for the angle detail. If I decide to sell one of the Camaros you will be in line too. Got most of the parts for the lower unit

Re: 1969 Short Wide
nice shiney parts, and ya, 22 gauge is way too thin, you should use 20 gauge normally and 18 also. I use both on my things. Sure wish my prop was that shiney. Did you change the pitch on it, more torque or speed? With mone i needed the torque.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
No, It was set up perfect before, the prop was worn and had some dents alon the edges...you know how they get beat up on rocks. Anyway, they welded the whole perimeter and made to the oem specs. We'll see how it runs next week hopefully.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Well, I'm still waiting on parts to come in for th outboard so I took one last stab at making the wire channel angle detail. I picked up some thicker sheetmetal at a the scrap yard, I think it is 18 gauge. Anyway, I got tired of making templates and taking them to work to cut my sheetmetal so I made a little table for my bandsaw. Now I can cut sheetmetal at my shop! I then started fabbing the pieces for the angle (2 left and 2 right). I was able to roll the inside radius around my argon bottle to get the shape close. I then tacked it all in, then staggered my welds about every 2-3 inches till it was done, then ground the welds and primered, it will still require some hammer and dolly work but that can take place on the frame. It took around 4 hours total. Hope to get my lower unit parts in tomorrow or thursday so I can get that out of the way. Next on this will be the cab corners, they need straightened and possibly some rust repair, even though I haven't found any, that doesn't mean it's not there.....on to the pictures:
Bandsaw before the table added Plate cut for table Table welded and installed Tacking the angle detail More Ready for welding solid More Completely welded Welds ground smooth Primered |

Re: 1969 Short Wide

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Thanks! I hope to get back on it pretty soon. We are covered up with snow and ice right now and I don't have heat in the shop. I was looking at the cab the other day and found a little rust spot on the lower part of the driver side cab corner. I wasn't planning on doing anything to them except knocking out a few dents. Now it looks like I may be cutting and welding. I wish I could have sand blasted the whole thing to find all the thin areas. Maybe I will on the next build.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
At least I have a small heater... not much, but it does allow me to get out in this weather. We have about 6" of snow. I really need to get my cab inside soon to start working on it, now that my frame is almost done. I am still nervous about the welding... practice makes perfect, right? (or is it practice makes work for someone else ) Keep it up! Maybe you will be driving it to the Spring meet?

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Thanks Heath. I tried to do it 2 other times with 22 gauge and it's just way too thin. It didn't turn out as good as I would have liked but I think I can tweek it here and there and it will be fine.
I'll pass on that right now, maybe after a few weeks..... months....after I forget how frustrating it was. |
