it don't run so I would have to push it. No one to help push is a little problem. But I am working on a solution to this.

Thanks. I do try and sometimes I fail. again thanks. I thought the same when I looked at other guys trucks. But, the end result is what I go for, not the trip.

today I dry fitted the Camaro gas tank. It looks good I will post pictures tomorrow with the right strapping.

[gdavis]

Today, I had another look at the Camaro gas tank supports. They would work but, it just wasn't clean enough. So I took everything apart and started again.
cut two pieces of 2 1/2x 2 1/2x1/8 square tubing 28'' long and bolted them to the cross members. I know the square tubing is a little over kill but, The welding shop didn't have the 2x3 that I wanted. I picked up two pieces of 1x1/8 36'' long aluminum. tomorrow I will make my straps.

well, back to square one on the rear bumper. UPS would not pay for the damages so the bumper was trashed. It was a shame for the bumper traveled from Ks. to Fl. and back to Ks. So in a few days I will order another one.

Today, I mounted the Camaro gas tank. Made my strapping out of 1x1/8 inch aluminum
got it where it needs to be. Except I will have to move it forward a bit I think. I need the bumper to adjust that. I also mounted the tail gate and I used stainless bolts.
You can see black tape on the clear chain covers. If I did not put the tape it looked like a round ball. This way it can form to this shape. Let the sun do its magic.

today. I wanted to put the cowl back on the truck. But, my next door neighbor's water pump went out. So I installed a new one for them. Maybe tomorrow.

[gdavis]

Well, I hope that the stainless tail lights and stainless tail lights brackets come in by Monday. They were shipped the first of the week from Ks.
also ordered a set of spray nozzles and a steering wheel. Hope to mount the spray nozzles and cowl one day this week. Again

George, not sure how much this helps but here it is anyway. Can't find any washer nozzles but that does not mean I don't have any. I will keep looking.

thanks that helps I found a set of nozzles so thanks for looking, How did you attach the cowl leaf catches? Is that one a aftermarket or did you build it yourself.

[colgad]

LMC aftermarket. Stainless steel. It comes with stands welded to the screen. Pretty easy to install. Can't remember how much it was but for keeping crap out of the cowl, worth it!

[gdavis]

new set of stainless step side tail lights
a new set of stainless step side light brackets.
new tail light lens with blue dot in the center
new set without blue dot in the center

I don't know why it takes so long to finish the last 20% of a build. It looks like the first 80% just flew by.

LMC and Classic Parts of America, but Classic parts is a little cheaper.

[gdavis]

Mounted the stainless tail lights today. Looked real nice. still haven't figured out how to mount the stainless conduit to the tail lights.

[gdavis]

ordered another steering wheel, brake pedal bezel, alt bracket arm and a set of wind shield spray nozzles.

[gdavis]

thanks Dean>
I received a e brake pad and bezel also today. I need a pad for the brake pedal 1972 style
I received a pair of wind shield sprayer nozzles today. Now I can re-install my cowl back on the truck.

[gdavis]

bezel for the e-brake and pad also a pad for the brake pedal. I need a bezel for the brake pedal.
it's the little thing that count.

[gdavis]

Today I mounted the wind shield spray nozzles that I purchased the other day. I thought they attached to the removable cowl. I tried every angle and then I came in and looked them up on line. It turns out they attach to the truck under the removable cowl. Piece of cake. Got my wire wall plugs for hose kit to go through the fire wall. I received them the other day and tomorrow I will attach them to the pump. Most of these pictures is for the guys like myself that took there truck apart a few years back, and couldn't remember where all the little stuff mount. I hope this helps guys.

[gdavis]

After I get the truck back on the road I might have to bend the nozzles a little bit, so the spray will hit the wind shield. I mounted the radio antenna and the cowl seal and now the cowl was ready and back on the truck. Next I am going to order a pair of stainless wind shield wiper arms. I will get the blades from our local auto parts. Everything I do is a little closer to the finish line.
