It's been pretty hectic right now. In addition to all the normal everyday stuff and trying to get the truck done, our daughter decided on a last minute transfer to ASU, so we had to get her to AZ and get her temporarily settled at my wife's sister's house, and search for a condo to buy for her and our niece to live in. We've made a couple of trip back and forth with more to come.
The truck is pretty much done (are they ever done?), but I've been trying to get the bugs worked out. Since the last post all the sheet metal is installed, most all of the interior is done, I've aligned it, and drove it to work - once!
Got a good set of junkyard mirrors from a 90's Ford truck
Front all buttoned up with my quad lights
The rear is done. Got some vinyl letters that match the dark gray paint pretty close. Also found a reproduction AMC badge on eBay.
Had a set of door panels that babywag had given me. Tape them off and gave them a coat of gray. I kept the "wood trim" cause I dig it.
All the window moldings are installed
After a lot of frustration, cursing and fabrication, I was able to get the power window kit to work (kind of). The driver's window works well, but I still need to persuade the passenger a bit. It does not want to go up so I need to figure out what's hanging it up.
I'm quite pleased with the interior. The seats are the most asked about part. Middle row Honda Pilot.
Found a locking gas cap. It's for a 39-48 Mercury.
A friend of mine teaches auto at the local community college so we were able to take it down on a Sunday, put it on the rack and align it.
Classin' up the parking lot at work!
Unfortunately, it's back in the garage. The FITech is not getting the fuel it needs. I think I missed some crud in the aux. tank and it worked it's way through the system and clogged the one or both filters. I pulled and cleaned them once, and it ran great, for a few miles. Then it was starving for fuel once again. So I plan on pulling the aux. tank back out and get it cleaned right, and replace the filters. Fingers crossed.
