I was going to settle in and read this thread tonight, but none of the pictures show up. Am I doing something wrong?

 

I see lots of pictures...

 

My work computer is blocking them for some reason. I'll have to look when I get back home and also delete my comment!

 

Yup pics are good here

 

Try going on private browser , that might work for you..

 

Well gang, I finally feel like I made some progress and wanted to share.

If you have read through my build, you know I am making my truck a 5 speed. In order to do so I am modifying an aftermarket pedal box and making the box a cable clutch box.

In order to route the clutch cable and get enough space from the clutch cable quadrant and the fire wall I needed to make a spacer. After making a couple test pieces out of wood it was time to transfer my idea to a chunk of aluminum.
I started with a 2-1/2" Chunk of Aluminum




Cut the piece to size and cut the curve on top so the spacer sits tight up against the firewall and cowl. Then I made an angle jig for my Horizontal/vertical band saw so I could get the spacer to sit tight against the fender alignment rod bracket.





I taped a hole at the top of the spacer so I could bolt it to the cowl. I used a cut and pointed bolt to locate the correct spot to drill.








Once I installed the first bolt I was able to figure out the angles and locations of the additional mounting holes.








As you can see from the photos I also bored a hole into the center of the spacer for the firewall adjuster to sit in as well as allowing the cable to pass through.


I Had to purchase two additional tap sets so I could mount the stud for the fender alignment rod as well as securing the firewall adjuster to the spacer.





Once everthing was taped I was able to install the bracket and stand back to admire my work.







and with the clutch cable.

 

Nice work Tom..

 

WOW WOW WOW!!! What a great thread, Simply amazing! I love your work. I will follow along.

 

How is progress?

 

Its been a slow summer for the crew cab and an even slower summer for the Coe.


I got side tracked with the purchase of a 92 Mustang GT Convertible for the Wifey.


Hopefully their will be progress come the fall/winter but right now those two projects are on hold until I get the mustang on the road and get rid of the 2nd parts car for the mustang.

 

any progress on the crew cad and got any pictures sence all the others are not working

 

i have made time to blast and paint the radiator hoop, but haven't really done much else.

I will need to spend spend some time investigating a new photo host vs the extortionists over at Photobucket. I was hoping to hold out long enough for them to come back to reality. It's not looking good.

It it really sucks to have these lengthy builds go pictureless after all this time and energy put into it

 

Just post pictures directly from your computer, tablet or phone. No host needed.

 

Sound advice to embed the image here, but that doesn't repair the years of threads now ruined by the about-face of photobucket. I could rant, but will just say I share in the anger for the photo-hucksters.

Does a straight link to a photos folder still work?!

 

Whew.... That sucked. Just spent probably 40+/- hours changing the hotlinks on this thread to embedded images. That is just one thread of many to fix.


I will be updating this thread soon with some new images. stay tuned.
