Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...

Yesterday after work I got the glass installed in the doors, and today was spent getting the doors buttoned up and the front sheetmetal on...
Thanks to a friend and his son, the sheetmetal was fairly quick and easy...
For anyone who's followed along, or even just looked in, the Stepper hasn't looked this complete since the day after it arrived in my driveway in April of 2012...

On to the pics...
Glass installed and doors buttoned up, although I still need to instal the door checks...

I've always wanted to run these mirrors... actually one of the first purchases I made for this build...

Here's a few pics taken after the front clip was re-installed...

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...

Slowly but surely... been knocking out the to do list as time permits...
The other day after work I got the headlights wired and the grille installed...

Untitled by Donald Olivo, on Flickr

Headlights on... Parking lights working...Check
Untitled by Donald Olivo, on Flickr

Taillights on...Check

Dome light on... Check
Untitled by Donald Olivo, on Flickr

Front bumper went on after the light pics were taken...

Yesterday after work I started on sorting brake light issues... they weren't working... A quick check found the original Brake light switch not working... Called the parts store and since there was one on the shelf, it was mine...
Following that diagnosis I found the turn signals also on vacation...
That trouble shooting will be handled tomorrow, new switch available locally...

Next job was adapting a used fan should I had lying around to fit and be functional... Started last night and finished it up today...

New Brake light switch installed and adjusted this morning, I now have brake lights... After getting the brake lights working and the fan shroud installed, I pulled the Stepper into the yard and sprayed off the top layer of grit and dust... Closer and Closer to Clem's...

Here are some pics from today...

Fan Shroud in place...

Custom Sail Panels installed...

Last but not least... My stepper, my DD, and the '60 Apache...
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

Oct 15 is drawing closer every minute...
