fired my 78 up backed down to the highway did a burnout and then parked it....

 

I had to use the battery booster box on ol silver to get it to start today, I would say the battery has finally gave out. 8+years and never an issue, so I am not complaining, once I got it started and let it idle for a bit, I drove it around the shop.

 

I put in Klaxon TR98 high and low horns I pulled from a Cadillac in the scrap yard so much better now. Its just like riding in a Cadillac! Also replaced my voltage regulator.

 

I continued on with my rear bumper project. It's still a long way from done but I'm getting excited to see it completed.





The white tape was to get ideas for reverse light placement....still undecided. Any thoughts or ideas?

 

Great progress. If you have enough room, some Rigid's would be ideal:

Thanks! I've actually been looking at the rigid flush mount back up light kit and some of the cree 2" cube lights...either should fit nicely.

 

I like the furthest out placement Fordreal.

 

I decided to tackle my door panels. They were all cracked ( almost in half) and not in good shape. So with the help of a little epoxy I was able to get them back together. I was thinking of painting them tan and keeping the green armrests. What would be the best way to go about that?

should I primer them then use a plastic spray paint?

 

Look up colorbond. Ive used it before on pillar pods for gauges for other vehicles and this stuff is great almost as if it soaks into the plastic. Only stuff I would consider using.


Car Paint | Interior & Exterior Car Restoration Paint | ColorBond

 

Do they sell that at any chain store (autozone advace Napa Wal Mart) or is it something I would have to order

 

Im not sure on availability, I ordered mine with a gauge set from diesel manor.
Shows summit carries it.

 

Worked on the 2002 cluster in my 78 F150

 

As far as I can go, until I get my headers Monday. Then I can finish running the fuel line and route the regulator, hook up the heater lines and see about hooking the exhaust up.

 

that should make her run lol

 

You should do a build thread on this I'm curious to see how it turns out. Looks good so far
