got the steering column break pedal and finished to cluster pocket still need the dash vents, ac unit and defrost vent installed before I weld in the dash shell
Got the hidden pop up gas cap installed kind of hidden I was going to install it in the fender but I was afraid I would bend the finder if someone or myself would hit bump into the pump hose while I was refilling the tank with these paper thin imported parts . Also I will be painting the cap
its been a few months got tied up at work plus I got hit from a Hail storm damage to my house and my home shop. I had some sky lights loved them but it lost this fight lol my truck got a few dings but luckily I'm doing body work anyways
so now I was fighting surface rust till I could get my roof fixed I just now getting back to the truck. i want to start doing the epoxy primer this weekend mainly to protect the metal till I can finish doing the body work. i have been focus on doing a bunch on hammer and dolling on the finders where i moved the wheel opening and welded got them almost ready
got the engine trans tunnel made and fitted now I'm waiting to pull it apart to finish installing it. also made a funny looking air filter box i never like to way a lot of hot rods with EFI have there air filter just hanging out there like an after thought a race car or a HP car its fine to have it hanging but a cruiser its not me so I made this funny looking airbox lol i wanted roundish shape to match the era. I also made it so half of large filter is hidden inside the inner finder getting some of the air from the louvers on the front radiator support plus i will be adding more louvers and holes later
got the finders and hood primed with Raptor epoxy and evercoat high build this will get me started with the body work. still need to fix some high and low spots plus weld seams sticking out. this is nothing a little hammer and a filler work cant fix. ill this this after I do the the rest of the truck
got the bed primed
well i had some issues with the factory roof metal plus i didn't like the way it look
it looked more like an old Chevy truck with a bid dome not like a ford flat roof so i desided to do it over
now i got the new roof on for the 3rd time now i am finishing up metal work and removing pain
got most of the paint off now i see i have a lot more work to do
hope to find time this weekend to hammer out all the dents and paint removal so i can get it primed
