Oddly enough, this piece revealed a crease once it was cut away from the donor part. No problem as it was easy enough to hammer out. I drew a line across the crease in the pic above. This is the backside but it is still visible.

Cleco's & patch piece's in place for final trimming. I will trim and weld them in place within the next day or 2. Currently I am serving time in the Honey Do Hotel and have been tasked with cleaning the windows and replacing the screens. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

QUOTE(76-914 @ Apr 29 2021, 05:25 AM)  If the Wx is hot I'll bring the black one Jeremy; it has AC. Short of repairing the flashers I'm done with the inside. The shifter console is wrapped to match the dash face material and there's not much left to do other than drive it and tweak any anomalies that pop up. On the highway temps have been a steady 183F. Fans have yet to kick on but I expect with these warmer temps they will in stop 'n go traffic. I need to come up with a trunk prop. Something akin the current day engine hood props. And I'll probably carpet the trunk. And decals; I want to throw a bunch of retro decals on it. I thought you had one that had the shifter mounted in with the stock console, and center seat cushion?? |

QUOTE(76-914 @ Feb 24 2021, 07:34 PM) So the newest engine runs great, pulls strong and is loud as Hell which brings me to this chapter. Time for an exhaust system. I really like the exhaust system I have on the '73 so I duplicated that original order a went about installing it yesterday. You remember me saying there was one thing I didn't like about Ian's cradle? Well this is it. I can't you the same install method as he has a brace that interferes with how I installed the exhaust on the '73using my cradle. Hopefully I'll be able to use the same combination of mufflers and keep the center out design but I had to order some additional fittings before I could go any further today. I'm using all 16ga SS so it will be good for many, many years. Her are some pif's of where I left off today. What size is the exhaust pipe? |
