Re: Project Patina Burb

Went to the junkyard today and picked up a Windstar dual fan setup, a washer bottle and bracket, and a horn. Only cost about $35. I have to do some modification to get the windstar fan to work, but I think I can get it to spin.

Re: Project Patina Burb

Knocked a few more things off the punch list.

-Finished running my backup lights wiring.
-Cleaned and Installed my Gauge Cluster
-Finalized my tilt column and bolted it the rest of the way in
-Utilized the factory oil pressure line and connected it to the Autometer brass line and ran it down to the oil pan. Still have to drill and tap it though.
-Installed my Windstar dual electric fan. I just used 6 of those Hayden zip tie lines. It isn't going anywhere.


Thanks to thelonerife(Chuck) for giving me that original oil pressure line at his swap meet booth at Goodguys this weekend. It worked great.

Re: Project Patina Burb

Okay, a few more things done. I put some silicone around the truck tail lights that Rusbuilt put in back in March. Couldn't do it from the inside, so I did it from the outside. Hopefully, it won't effect the lenses going on.

The main thing I did was to drill and tap a piece on the side of the oil pan so I could use the factory oil pressure gauge.

Here's the original piece.



Originally there was this hole was closed off, but I drilled it out and tapped it.


Here it is back on the pan.



and with the brass line on it.



Here's a few pics of what I did last night so Russ doesn't make me feel guilty.

Ford Windstar dual fan



Gauge Cluster in and the steering column with new steering wheel on.

Couldn't get the horn cap on for some reason. It would only go so far down and kept falling out. I'll have to figure out how to put it on later.

Re: Project Patina Burb

Picked up an old metal cooler from a buddy today for FREE. I'll paint it the same blue as the burb and sit it behind the third row seat.

Re: Project Patina Burb

Chuck, it's getting very close.

About the cooler, I think I've changed my mind on it. I think I'm going to get a Mountain Dew decal and slap it on there and make it look weathered.

Anyway, she's on her way to get the 5.3 wired up and running at a guy's shop that has my harness and computer. He's wired it and programmed the computer and will get it running for me. Couldn't beat the price.




If I remember correct from reading earlier, you have plates and cups in the front. The bottom cup was cut down to 5/8"? And drop spindles? What's done to the back? Seems to sit pretty low. I like it!

Re: Project Patina Burb

The rear is bagged with a 1 inch block. It's also c-notched.

Re: Project Patina Burb

Still finishing up the wiring harness. It's almost complete.

I did buy a set of 67 only white and orange dog dish caps for it this week from Rusbuilt. Still haven't decided on wheels yet. I know they will be steel, but haven't decided if I'm going to go with the 20 inch Mobsteel wheels or just factory 15's. I'm going to incorporate the caps in either way.

I'd like to see if they make 17 inch steelies.

Re: Project Patina Burb

The ones I run are 17's, but they aren't smooth like a rallye wheel. I think Wheel Vintiques has 17" steelies that don't have the holes in them like mine do.

Re: Project Patina Burb

They are Cragar Soft 8's. I got mine at Summit, they were like $90 apiece. They are available in black, silver, or chrome. Mine are 17x8 with 4.5" backspace. They tuck perfectly, and clear the a arms with drop spindles. I got some Chinese tires from ebay for like $375, delivered. The Cragar caps look kinda goofy, but I have those 88-98 caps, and if I had known they would have worked when I was getting it all together, I would have looked at astro van caps. There are some cool ones of those. Only problem is there is nothing for a dog dish type cap to snap to.

Re: Project Patina Burb

WOW, for that I might as well just go with the Mobsteel wheels that are $220 for 20's.

Re: Project Patina Burb

I wondered about that. I didn't know how much the Mobsteel wheels cost. If you are set on using the factory caps, I would definitely go Mobsteel. I think unless you are dropmembered, the 15 inchers leave too much tire on top when the truck is laid out. I like my 17's because they put the top edge of the wheel close to the fender lip. I bet the 20's would put it on up in there.
