A little bit of heat and a scraper usually works pretty good

64chevtruck · 01-26-2016, 05:11 PM

Oo good one. I normally use a scraper but ill be adding heat for sure.

Oh, I'm stealing that! Too slick!

DblTrbl · 01-29-2016, 01:38 AM

It's nice to be actually putting this thing back together instead of taking it apart...I think I've finally hit the top of the hill.

I have the body mounted back on the frame, engine and trans permanently installed, headers and resonator pipes in, most of my fuel and brake lines run, wiring to the rear, and I'm buttoning up all of the connections to the engine. I had to lengthen some of my harness and shorten other parts because of the Z. The power steering pump turned out to have a different fitting for the pressure line, but I was fortunate enough to have a really helpful guy at the parts store and I ended up cutting the old flare off and flaring the end to match the pump. I painted the firewall and I've been working on looming everything...which has been incredibly time consuming!

Anyway here's some pics of progress:

Old fitting:

Everything in place and attached:

My wiring mess!

40gal burb tank is out of the burb...that was a chilly adventure. It's a little bigger than I'd expected, and it doesn't fit between the rails, rather right on top of them, so I'll have to build some kind of framework to house it...I can also see that my bed floor is going to be raised waaaay up to cover it.

DblTrbl · 02-03-2016, 12:09 AM

Geez...I could sure use a brake and a slip roller. This is hard on the elbows.

54earl · 02-04-2016, 01:00 AM

Maybe I should look into this Instagram thing. Keep on keepin on.

DblTrbl · 02-04-2016, 01:06 AM

So...photobucket is apparently all screwed up again which has resulted in some broken links. I don't feel like going through the entire thread to figure out which pics are missing right now, but if anyone comes across one that's not working and really wants to see it, let me know.

Here's the broken one from above:

And here's my current progress on the plenum. I'm a little out of practice with aluminum tig'ing and my machine keeps popping the breaker. Just when I've got my rhythm back, it pops! I'm going to grab a bigger breaker tomorrow and see if I can finish this up. I moved the blower motor 5" up and deleted the AC. I've had some interest in this on Instagram. If anyone else is interested in something like this, let me know. I'm trying to gauge whether or not it's enough to knock out a few of them...

Ghostwhite · 02-04-2016, 03:00 AM

Make sure on the photobucket deal that you don't rearrange any photos in your photobucket account. I had that problem a while ago when I was trying to reorganize my photobucket and put different photos in certain folders. If you move them around or put them in a folder the links will change.

Dunno if this is your issue but in case anyone else doesn't know.

Thats the issue almost all of the time with Photobucket. Any changes made to location or file name creates a new URL and your pics go dead.

Not the case with mine. Everything goes into the "truck" folder and stays there. Photobucket has bee having significant upload issues and drops like 20 of the same picture. I was able to go delete the extras, but apparently it moved other pictures in the mix or something and broke the links. I've had the account for over ten years and never had any issues until just a month ago. App reviews are showing that others apparently are having similar problems. Maybe they upgraded to Windows 10...

DblTrbl · 02-04-2016, 08:41 PM

A little sanding and polish and it's done.

**Advanced Design** · 02-04-2016, 09:21 PM

Nice work! That looks really good.

54earl · 02-04-2016, 11:06 PM

My photobucket is messed up as well. Mine is VW though, not near as interesting as square body dually.

There's a lot of VW on mine too, though I haven't touched the "go-cart" in almost 5 years....

DblTrbl · 02-05-2016, 12:43 AM

Everything is better shiny...

aggie91 · 02-05-2016, 11:14 AM

I like it. Turned out great!

Low Elco · 02-05-2016, 02:52 PM

VERY slick!

54earl · 02-05-2016, 09:07 PM

Plenum looks great. Is that a rabbit ? Mine is 70 bus that I am not smart enough to figure out now to post photos of.

Thanks. '78 Scirocco full race, caged, braced, coilovers, turbo 1.8L

Only full pic I can seem to find if it. This was after a rainy day at the track.

TrailerTrash · 02-06-2016, 09:20 AM

plenum looks awesome dude i didnt expect it to look so at home on the firewall

photobucket has been giving me issues for awhile now. i used imageshack for like 6 years but then they changed everything, required payment, then all my pics went dead. so i switched to photobucket and havent been very pleased about it

DblTrbl · 02-06-2016, 05:11 PM

Had to take a break to clean the shop today. Small space gets out of control quickly. I was nearing gridlock. When I can't find tools, it's time...now I have no excuses not to get things finished. Lol
