The dash is sweet! Everything looks awesome Roger. I like what you are doing with the front end. How about some new updates!!!
|
Honey-do looks great Rog. I've got a patio that need some help. You help out your old cuz? Glad you're back on the car. I'll have to stop by one weekend. That patio got AC too?
|
Are you having glass custom made for the doors? Just noticing the wood template you have in the pass door.
|
Glass/ Lexan
Yes, going with lexan, already have the back Lexan, trying to save some wght,,, The Luan wood was a test pc., to make sure my tracks are correct,, The windshield will be Lexan and use S10 molding,, I have since gutted the Cowl hood garbage, and blocking undeneath it,, Saved some wght, got rid of the ugly baggage,,, Thinking about gutting the deck lid ??Sure is heavy !!!

http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/e...1/100_5039.jpg Had to move from outside of door glass to panel side, since going with vent window delete&powerwindows,,upper panel had to be removable for fuzzies to screw in,, Hope this makes cent$ |

Amazing build look forward to following this bad boy.:thumbsup:
|
Men, Sorry no progress,,,Had knee replacement 1-15-13,,, Still hobbled, Can't do anything stupid yet,,, Gaining ground every day,,:getout: : :bitchslap:
|
nice job on the build so far. Hope the recovery goes well and you will be back in action in no time!
|
Hope for a speedy recovery. Take your time sir and rehab like you're supposed to. I work at an orthopedic surgery hospital, so I know exactly what you're going thru. You'll be up and running in no time with that new, titanium knee. Take care!! :thumbsup:
|
I love your dash but how are you going to service your brakes. Its a sweet build
|
Dash, will bolt in,,, brakes and clutch will be operable before dash goes in,, Can access, from bottom ,will need a hose and bottle to service if a leak shows up ??? Will have to pull steering column ,to remove dash,,,,

Awesome! You must be excited.
|
Nice!!!
|
Nice 67 with the 66 front end. I'm doing a 66 with a 67 front end. You gonna run E-85 with this engine?
|
No,,, i'm going to need more octane, 93 at that! might blend a little,,,,
|
E-85 is 104 octane i think. Just get less gas mileage.

Anyhow, did have a question about front ends... Looking for best front clip that will provide a good ride without sacrificing looks... Don't want something so stiff that you feel every little bump - no what I mean? Was thinking about a Detroit speed but they're too damned expensive so what's a good alternative? Thanks Brian |
Welcome Brian
|
Bolt on front ends???

So your're saying you cut 3/16" on the sail(B pillar) and 7/8"(A pillar)? If so, man, that isn't much... from what I can see, it looks as if you cut and narrowed the sail's from top to bottom and just leaned the A pillars(window frames) back a bit giving the windshield a bit more slant (Bad ass!) saving time and forgoing the roof stretch. Just seeing if my thoughts are correct on proceeding with a plan of action... I have a ton of questions about this project and greatly appreciate and idea's and or comments. I will be posting pictures of our progress shortly. Thanks agian! Brian |
One other thing...
We've noticed a few cars with one piece door glass, but can't find anywhere selling the kit??? would you know where we could get a kit? Thanks. Brian |
Door glass...

Windshield: We had planned on cutting and shortening the sails just enough to lay the windshield pillars back a bit. Flush mounted glass would be very cool, but it seems like more work than I'm feeling like I want to do (lol), unless I'm over-thinking it which is quite possible??? A crash course explanation would be greatly appreciated. :) Btw, I've worked in the auto body industry for 30 years and have plenty of knowledge to share if needed, but will never claim to be an expert on any matter of the subject... ;) Thanks Brian |
