Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
That thing's a work truck like Cindy Crawford's an ordinary chick. She might make you some eggs... but that ain't your average girl.

Thanks, Jason. Anxious to see what's in store for your new ride. I've been slacking when it comes to posting lately. I'm still wiring for the most part, but I took Duane's advice and worked on a few other things for some relief. The heater and AC lines are in place and the brake lines are done. I still need to cut and build the braided steel lines for the HydraStop. I've been postponing some things until the front clip is back on. Picked up the inner fenderwells a couple of days ago, so I no longer have an excuse. The paint shop only has the intake tube left to squirt. Everything else is here at the house. I was unhappy with my metalwork on the right bedside when it returned from paint, so I contacted Ace Dent Repair and had Terry drop by the shop for a look see. He said he thought he could fix the objectionable spots, so he returned the next day and spent a couple of hours working his magic. When he left, the bedside looked fantastic. As you may recall, I cut it apart twice when I was chasing the gap problem and probably should have just bought another one that was made correctly. But being hardheaded.... Back in October, 2013 I bought a Lukas Blackbox full HD camera for making recordings. It has three modes, driving, events and parking. It was pretty trick back in the day, but has long since been outpaced by newer tech. I'd never actually hooked it up, so I downloaded the latest firmware update and tested it briefly. It looks like it will work pretty well for my needs. Beats spending $300-$500 on a GoPro. Video test here.

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
Thanks, Mike!
You and me both, Scott. You could probably tell I was sweating it when we talked the other day. Yep, that's what it is, Dan. I got this one from CPP and it fit perfectly. Think they call theirs a HydraStop, but it's functionally the same as the hydra boost setups from other outfits. I had a bad experience with the company that sold me the unit I used for Maybelline so I was determined to try someone else this time around. So far, this has been an easy peasy installation... no missing parts, bolted right in and no skimping on the line kit. One thing for sure, these units provide exceptional stopping power with light pedal pressure. The decision to go this route on CRLS was a no brainer for me.

The front end is taking shape. You always worry whether the parts will go back together the way they should after total disassembly. I knew from experience the driver side inner fender was going to give me trouble but I fought it to a draw. All the bolts are in and tight, gaps look decent and with any luck, the hood will sit right. There's still a lot of wire routing and terminations ahead, but the picture is slowly getting clearer.

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
It's looking really good Vic! Keep it up. Hopefully the wiring will start to fall in place.

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
Thanks everyone! Told Brian when he called today that being around CRLS all the time, all I see are the warts. You guys keep me plowing ahead.
![]() A few more shots with the bumper on and the hoses for the p/s, a/c, HydraStop, and heater core in place. Still need to take the a/c lines to have them crimped, but everything is cut to length. I'll be anxious to see if the Gates heat shrink clamps hold water. I plan to use one of those vacuum tools to fill the radiator, so it should tell me ahead of time if I have any leaks.

Merry Christmas Vic! She's looking great-- you might need to create a cookbook on engine compartment cooking-- she's cleaner than any kitchen I've ever seen!
