Ok little update - not done much work has been mental 84 hrs in 6 days - so Gladys now has a scat shifter and a big big thanks to Princess rah rah for supplying it - She now sports a polished ally kick panel around the shaped rear seats than was not fun to make at all - The rocknRoll bed is all finished painted seat belts fitted - The petrol tank is also finish painted - need to check the sender or get a known working unit - The cab door handles are being a pain as i cant get them to work how i want them . Whats next - next week the cab windows will be tinted ticking that job off 0 on early shift this week may get a little done in the evenings Dale
Cool will soon be back together mate . Been working a fair bit ain't ya all I'd wan to do after that many hours is sleep
A few pics of the finish and the ally trim work now fitted All internal panels now made Foam will be here next week just need some one to trim it Plee from the heart i need a hand with the wiring the chap that started it is messing me around
Little update - a bits n bobs day - Anti roll bar removed - Wiper arms prepped and painted and fitted - repaired indicator stalk prepped and painted and fitted - Skat shifter connected up - Engine removed and engine bay cleaned up needs a few little repairs - rear overider plates all made - rear lights all bolted in damm fiddly - the moon roof finishers started - Enough for one day I guess - still oh so much to do will it ever end Its not really that low she is part in the workshop and part out - but with no motor the rear has lifted a little
Lots more thinking i have made up my mind to have a wood finish headliner with polished ally bows and a custom rear roof locker - the foam is on its way just need cushion covers made i will try and match the jag seat colour
The windows where finished off today i think she looks sassy That is william my grandson and apprentice Off now for a few days going to fab up the rear bumper and do a bit more inside
I had a short day on the van today - The rear overiders are all fabricated and test fitted to the bumper a little prep and paint - The old motor will be fired tomorrow - If ok she will get a wash and brush up and back in as I intend to build a hot 1776 in the winter with a little bit of nos on on it - I have started the engine bay repairs and the custom fabrication work hope to get this all welded tomorrow very little to do just a big clean up- I have made up my mind she will now have a polished timber headliner same as the seat base - I have also built and fitted a rear overhead locker - Slow progress short of money but getting there
Money shortages fuel the imagination of the hot-rodder. If you gotta make it, make it different. Every cloud and all that.
