debated whether or not to post this then I thought, it might help someone thinking about this type of project. this is the rear seat and back modified to clear the minitubs. you might ask why mess with it? Because when Grandma and Grandpa want to go to town for a Martini, we can take the car...

the new break/clutch assy from Passon along side the auto trans brake assy from the orig car. Need to move move the brackets over. Measured the crap out of this and very happy with the conversion. The wiper motor from the car disassembled, cleaned, greased, repainted, tested and ready to go.

Looking very nice, I like the detail!!

Look what the mailman brought today.. Plus assembled wiper assembly w/arms and rebuilt pivots. Pivots are a pain in the a$$ to take apart, clean and grease but it can be done.

Since that 6.1 is just sitting there in the corner, I'll take it off your hands so you have more room, lol!!

 

[2059]

Thanks for the offer, but I have plenty of room for now.

 

[5.7 hemi]

Ya sure?? It's looking pretty crowded there, lol!!

Nice looking project so far. Man that hemi looks sexy with the 4 speed bolted to it.

Couple quick shots of the car. Gerald has two more patch panels in front to the rear wheel wells then on the rotisserie she goes for the underside work.

couple shots re: "points of detail" probably could have had the outer sleeves re-plated but I'm OK with this. The buttons are best when cleaned, lightly wet sanded w/600 and buffed with mothers aluminum polish. still a few flaws although, these are going to look great when installed. rebuilt steering shaft coupler, ready for reassembly. a sunday afternoon well spent. the rolled rag makes it easier to polish and clean.

on the rack today. still a bit of work. back welding and a ton of grinding... hung the Dana yesterday, calc'ed the ctc for the perches, figured how much to narrow and ran it back down to Mosher for mods along with the axles and brake disks to mod for 4-1/2 CL on the studs.

before/after shots of the heater control. the cat that rebuilt the switch is Anthony Powell in TX. pm me if you want his contact info.

more testimony to the effectiveness of molasses dip. front side glass out and turn signal brkts which will be etch primed and bumper coat. Before and after (i have a couple sets). the vent window frames polished. windex to clean the windows first then a comet paste to polish the glass as best it can be. a few deep scratches that wont come out. and as you all know, DO NOT MIX THE COMET AND THE WINDEX! learned that early in life. (like 7).

bumper bolts, k mem. bolts. wipers before and after. bench grinder w/buffing wheel.
