Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Getting the hinge on w/o scratching the paint is the easy part. Putting the spring on and not damaging the paint with what I want to know.
Did you adjust the hinge location so that the hood closes correctly? If so, did that scratch any of the paint around the hinge on the inner fender?

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Hi Alan, Again Nice work.
Reading your thread again starting at post 2370, during the mock-up of the fuel filler door, What year and model donated the green fuel door? Was that a random choice or is a perfect fit of the body lines Also what O.D. is the filler pipe off the tank? I bought a RCI 17 gallon cell from summit and will be modifying the fill pipe to turn out as I would like to have a outside fill door. Your metal skills are outstanding , I will have to recruit a body man relative . Thanks-- bubba

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Thanks, Man!!
Will do. ![]() Shannon and I got the rear brakes done last night. Had to redo the Rt side again, because I failed to read the instructions that reminded me the right hand thread went on the left and the left hand thread self adjuster went on the right drum. I had two new ones, but they were both right hand thread, that's why it didn't even cross my mind.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Alan, I love digital cameras and take lots of pictures before I tear stuff like brakes apart then I can look to see how they go back together if they will be apart for some time. Then I read the manual .
I found on my truck's rear brakes the shoes were installed wrong by P.O. and the shorter shoe was in the rear position on the passenger side.

Call it beginners luck or what ever, but I got the fan shroud made today. I couldn't have ask for anything better. As we all know I have limited experience with custom fabrication. To me this was complex due to exact measurements. I don't know if I would have the same luck if I made another. Here are the steps I took. The sheet of aluminum ![]() What I had in mind. ![]() The layout ![]() ![]() The piece cut out and corners notched. ![]() The first set of bends ![]() I used these vice grips to tweak a couple corners that didn't bend to a true 90* ![]() Ran out of time today. This is where it is at now. Still need to make the top and bottom caps and cut the hole for the fan then test fit. Hope it clears the engine. ![]() ![]()
